Introducing trifluoromethyl groups is a common strategy to improve the properties of biologically active compounds. However, N-Trifluoromethyl moieties on amines and azoles are very rarely used. To evaluate their suitability in drug design, we synthesized a series of N-Trifluoromethyl amines and azoles, determined their stability in aqueous media, and investigated their properties. We show that N-Trifluoromethyl amines are prone to hydrolysis, whereas N-Trifluoromethyl azoles have excellent aqueous stability. Compared to their N-methyl analogues, N-Trifluoromethyl azoles have a higher lipophilicity and can show increased metabolic stability and Caco-2 permeability. Furthermore, N-Trifluoromethyl azoles can serve as bioisosteres of N-iso-propyl and N-Tert-butyl azoles. Consequently, we suggest that N-Trifluoromethyl azoles are valuable substructures to be considered in medicinal chemistry.

Tetracaine and pramocaine were used as the lead compounds to design benzoate compounds. The combination principle was used to design the target molecule, and the target molecule was modified by bioisostere formation and modification with alkyl groups. In this research, a total of 16 compounds were designed and synthesized. In the process of synthesis, we selected a route with high total yields, mild conditions and simple operation. Three steps were used in the synthesis of the new target compounds, namely, alkylation, esterification and alkylation. The newly designed target compounds were evaluated via surface anesthesia, infiltration anesthesia, block anesthesia and acute toxicity tests. The results of biological activity experiments showed that compounds 4d, 4g, 4j, 4k, 4n, and 4o had a good local anesthetic effect, and the results of acute toxicity tests showed that the target compounds had low toxicity.
Cyclic nucleotide-gated channel block by hydrolysis-resistant tetracaine derivatives

To meet a pressing need for better cyclic nucleotide-gated (CNG) channel antagonists, we have increased the biological stability of tetracaine-based blockers by synthesizing amide and thioamide linkage substitutions of tetracaine (1) and a higher affinity
