Innovative discovery strategies are essential to address the ongoing opioid epidemic in the United States. Misuse of prescription and illegal opioids (e.g., morphine, heroin) has led to major problems with addiction and overdose. We used vincamine, an indole alkaloid, as a synthetic starting point for dramatic structural alterations of its complex, fused ring system to synthesize 80 diverse compounds with intricate molecular architectures. A select series of vincamine-derived compounds were screened for both agonistic and antagonistic activities against a panel of 168 G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) drug targets. Although vincamine was without an effect, the novel compound 4 (V2a) demonstrated antagonistic activities against hypocretin (orexin) receptor 2. When advanced to animal studies, 4 (V2a) significantly prevented acute morphine-conditioned place preference (CPP) and stress-induced reinstatement of extinguished morphine-CPP in mouse models of opioid reward and relapse. These results demonstrate that the ring distortion of vincamine offers a promising way to explore new chemical space of relevance to opioid addiction.

Paragraph 0018; 0155-0160, (2017/08/29)
The invention relates to a method for preparing a compound, specifically to a method for preparing vinpocetine. The method comprises the following steps: 1) preparation of a vinpocetine crude product, including, mixing an apovincamine ethanol solution and a sodium ethoxide ethanol solution for a reflux reaction, removing the solvent, adding ethanol, carrying out a reflux reaction of the sodium ethoxide ethanol solution, when the residual content of apovincamine is less than 0.3% of the added apovincamine raw material, performing hot filtration, removing a part of solvent of the filtered liquid, and performing cooling crystallization, solid-liquid separation, washing and drying to obtain the vinpocetine crude product; and 2) refining of vinpocetine, including adding active carbon, performing hot filtration, and performing recrystallization with ethanol for refining to obtain vinpocetine. The method is short and simple in process. The prepared vinpocetine is high in yield and purity, meets the standard of the European Pharmacopoeia (EP) 6.0, and is easy for industrial production.
