Structure-activity relationships for 1-alkyl-3-(1-naphthoyl)indoles at the cannabinoid CB(1) and CB(2) receptors: steric and electronic effects of naphthoyl substituents. New highly selective CB(2) receptor agonists

In an effort to improve indole-based CB(2) cannabinoid receptor ligands and also to develop SAR for both the CB(1) and CB(2) receptors, 47 indole derivatives were prepared and their CB(1) and CB(2) receptor affinities were determined. The indole derivatives include 1-propyl- and 1-pentyl-3-(1-naphthoyl)indoles both with and without a 2-methyl substituent. Naphthoyl substituents include 4- and 7-alkyl groups as well as 2-, 4-, 6-, 7-methoxy and 4-ethoxy groups. The effects of these substituents on receptor affinities are discussed and structure-activity relationships are presented. In the course of this work three new highly selective CB(2) receptor agonists were identified, 1-propyl-3-(4-methyl-1-naphthoylindole (JWH-120), 1-propyl-2-methyl-3-(6-methoxy-1-naphthoylindole (JWH-151), and 1-pentyl-3-(2-methoxy-1-naphthoylindole (JWH-267). GTPgammaS assays indicated that JWH-151 is a full agonist at CB(2), while JWH-120 and JWH-267 are partial agonists. Molecular modeling and receptor docking studies were carried out on a set of 3-(4-propyl-1-naphthoyl)indoles, a set of 3-(6-methoxy-1-naphthoyl)indoles and the pair of N-pentyl-3-(2-methoxy-1-naphthoyl)indoles. Docking studies indicated that the CB(1) receptor affinities of these compounds were consistent with their aromatic stacking interactions in the aromatic microdomain of the CB(1) receptor.

This report is devoted to study of the hydrocarbon composition of the extract of buds of birch (family Betulaceae). We identified 3,5-dihydroxy-7,4??-dimethoxyflavone, 5,7-dihydroxy-3,4??-dimethoxyflavone, 7-methoxy-4??,5-dihydroxyflavanone, 4??-methoxy-5,7-hydroxyflavanone, 5??,6??-dihydroxycaryophyllen-4(14),8(15)-diene ((1R,5R,6R,9S)-5,6-dihydroxy-11,11-dimethyl-4,8-methylenebicyclo[7.2.0]-undecane), 5??,6??-dihydroxycaryophyllen-3,8(15)-diene ((1R,5R,6R,9S)-5,6-dihydroxy-11,11-dimethyl-8-methylenebicyclo[7.2.0]undec-3-ene), 6??,9??-dihydroxy-??-humulene((1E,4E,6R,9S)-6,9-dihydroxy-4,11,11-trimethyl-8-methylene-1,4-cycloundecanediene), 5??,6??,8??-trihydroxycariolan, and (1R,5R,6R,8R,9S)-trihydroxycariolan.

A new class of antihypertensive neutral lipid: 1-alkyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycerols, a precursor of platelet activating factor

A new type of neutral lipid is described that possesses hypotensive activity in genetic hypertensive (SHR) and normotensive (WKY) rats. 1-Alkyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycerols and 1-alkyl-2-propionyl-sn-glycerols are both equally effective in eliciting the hypotensive response. Requirement for the 1-alkyl and 2-acetyl or 2-propionyl structure of the active isomer was documented by the negative responses obtained with closely related neutral lipid analogs (1-alkyl-2-acyl-, 1-alkyl-3-acetyl-, 1-acyl-2-acetyl-, 1-alkyl-2,3-diacetyl-, and 1-alkyl-glycerols). Although less potent than PAF (1-alkyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine), the 1-alkyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycerols produce a response of significantly longer duration and may have fewer immediate side effects than PAF. The mechanism for the biological activity is unknown; however, we have demonstrated previously that the enzymatic synthesis of 1-alkyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycerols to PAF occurs via a specific cholinephosphotransferase and therefore the observed blood pressure response might be due to the conversion of the neutral lipid precursor to PAF in vivo.     

Homoisoflavonoids and xanthones from the tubers of wild and in vitro regenerated Ledebouria graminifolia and cytotoxic activities of some of the homoisoflavonoids

Eleven homoisoflavonoids and two xanthones were isolated and characterized from the bulbs of Ledebouria graminifolia. Five of the homoisoflavonoids are new compounds and were identified as: 5-hydroxy-7-methoxy-3-(4'-hydroxybenzyl)-4-chromanone, 5-hydroxy-6,7-dimethoxy-3-(4'-hydroxybenzyl)-4-chromanone, 5,7,8-trimethoxy-3-(4'-hydroxybenzyl)-4-chromanone, 5-hydroxy-3',4',7-trimethoxyspiro[2H-1-benzopyran-7'-bicyclo[4.2.0]octa-trien]-4-one, 5,7-dihydroxy-3',4'-dimethoxyspiro[2H-1-benzopyran-7'-bicyclo[4.2.0]octa-trien]-4-one. Structures were elucidated by extensive 1D, and 2D NMR spectroscopy and HRMS. A method for tissue culture was developed and the bulbs of mature plants were found to contain all the compounds isolated from the wild specimens of L. graminifolia.     

Effects of two leukotriene B4 (LTB4) receptor antagonists (LY255283 and SC-41930) on LTB4-induced human neutrophil adhesion and superoxide production

Leukotriene B4 (LTB4) induces a number of functional changes in human neutrophils, including both superoxide release and CD11b/CD18 (Mo1)-mediated adherence to various substrates, such as keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH). These effects are both time- and concentration-dependent. Neutrophil adhesion was at least 10-fold more sensitive to the stimulatory action of LTB4 than superoxide production. Two LTB4 receptor antagonists, LY255283 (1-(5-ethyl-2-hydroxy-4-(6-methyl-6-(1H-tetrazol-5-yl)heptyloxy )- phenyl)ethanone) and the sodium salt of SC-41930 (7-[3-(4-acetyl-3-methoxy-2-propylphenoxy)-propoxy]-3,4-dihydro-8- propyl-2H- 1-benzopyran-2-carboxylic acid) were evaluated for effects on human neutrophil superoxide production and adhesion. Despite being more sensitive to LTB4-induced stimulation, neutrophil adhesion was at least 100-fold less sensitive to inhibition by LY255283 and SC-41930 than superoxide production. Both LTB4 receptor antagonists behaved similarly in these models. These compounds did not inhibit neutrophil responses induced by granulocyte/macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF).     

Photochemistry of 2-acyloxycarbazoles. A potential tool in the synthesis of carbazole alkaloids.

The photochemistry of two 2-acyloxycarbazoles, 2-acetyl- and 2-benzoyloxycarbazole, in different solvents has been studied. Irradiation of the 2-acyloxycarbazoles in organic media at 254 or 313 nm yields the [1,3]-migrated photoproducts, 1-acyl-2-hydroxycarbazole, 3-acyl-2-hydroxycarbazole and 2-hydroxycarbazole. The effects of the solvent, the atmosphere and the intensity of the light source on the photochemistry of 2-acyloxycarbazole have been studied. Laser flash photolysis as well as photosensitization experiments were performed in order to determine the photoreactive excited state. Electronic spectra (absorption, fluorescence and phosphorescence emission spectra) of the 2-acyloxycarbazoles have been recorded in homogeneous media at 298 K and in solid matrices at 77 K. The dynamic properties of the lowest singlet excited state in terms of fluorescence lifetime and fluorescence quantum yield have been measured in different organic solvents at room temperature. The photo-Fries rearrangement as a mild and clean one-pot reaction for the preparation of an advanced intermediate precursor in the total synthesis of carbazole alkaloids is described.     

A new antifungal and cytotoxic C-methylated flavone glycoside from Picea neoveitchii

A new C-methylated flavone glycoside, 5,7-dihydroxy-3-methoxy-6-C-methylflavone 8,4'-di-O-β-d-glucopyranoside (1), was isolated from the twigs and leaves of Picea neoveitchii Mast, together with eight known compounds, 5,7,8,4'-tetrahydroxy-3-methoxy-6-methylflavone 8-O-β-d-glucopyranoside (2) kaempferol 3,4'-di-O-β-d-glucopyranoside (3), apigenin 7-O-β-d-glucopyranoside (4), tiliroside (5), massonianoside B (6), umbeliferone 7-O-β-d-glucopyranoside (7), dihydroconiferin (8) and gleditschiaside A (9). Their structures were elucidated on the basis of analyses of spectroscopic data. Compound 1 showed moderate antifungal activity against tested plant pathogens (Pyricularia grisea (Cooke) Sacc., Sclerotium rocfsii Sacc. and Alternaria mali Roberts), however, compounds 2 and 5 had obvious inhibitory effect against S. rocfsii and A. mali, respectively. Compounds 1, 2, 3 and 9 also exhibited potent cytotoxicity against Spodoptera litura Fabricius cells.     

Affinity of 3-acyl substituted 4-quinolones at the benzodiazepine site of GABA(A) receptors

The finding that alkyl 1,4-dihydro-4-oxoquinoline-3-carboxylate and N-alkyl-1,4-dihydro-4-oxoquinoline-3-carboxamide derivatives may be high-affinity ligands at the benzodiazepine binding site of the GABA(A) receptor, prompted a study of 3-acyl-1,4-dihydro-4-oxoquinoline (3-acyl-4-quinolones). In general, the affinity of the 3-acyl derivatives was found to be comparable with the 3-carboxylate and the 3-carboxamide derivatives, and certain substituents (e.g., benzyl) in position 6 were again shown to be important. As it is believed that the benzodiazepine binding site is situated between an alpha- and a gamma-subunit in the GABA(A) receptor, selected compounds were tested on the alpha(1)beta(2)gamma(2s), alpha(2)beta(2)gamma(2s) and alpha(3)beta(2)gamma(2s) GABA(A) receptor subtypes. The 3-acyl-4-quinolones display various degrees of selectivity for alpha(1)- versus alpha(2)- and alpha(3)-containing receptors, and high-affinity ligands essentially selective for alpha(1) over alpha(3) were developed.     

Homoisoflavonoids from Ophiopogon japonicus Ker-Gawler

The new triterpene Delta1-lupenone (1), together with lupeol, beta-amyrin and betulin were isolated from the wood of Byrsonima microphylla (Malpighiaceae). The new compounds 3-hydroxy-2-methoxy-8,8,10-trimethyl-8H-antracen-1,4,5-trione (2), 3,7-dihydroxy-2-methoxy-8,8,10-trimethyl-7,8-dihydro-6H-antracen-1,4,5-trione (3), (2S*,10aR*)-2,8-dihydroxy-6-methoxy-1,1,7-trimethyl-2,3,10, 10a-tetrahydro-1H-fenantren-9-one (4) and (2S,3S)-3'-hydroxy-4',5,7-trimethoxy-flavan-3-ol (5) were also isolated through monitored TLC using the antioxidant beta-carotene reagent. The antioxidant potential of the compounds 2-5 was measured and none of them showed activity. The structures of these compounds were elucidated by chemical and spectroscopic analysis based on NMR techniques (1H, 13C NMR, COSY, nOe difference, HMQC and HMBC), UV and MS.     

Biotransformation of 2,7-dichloro- and 1,2,3,4-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin by Sphingomonas wittichii RW1

Aerobic biotransformation of the diaryl ethers 2,7-dichlorodibenzo-p-dioxin and 1,2,3,4-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin by the dibenzo-p-dioxin-utilizing strain Sphingomonas wittichii RW1, producing corresponding metabolites, was demonstrated for the first time. Our strain transformed 2,7-dichlorodibenzo-p-dioxin, yielding 4-chlorocatechol, and 1,2,3,4-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin, producing 3,4,5,6-tetrachlorocatechol and 2-methoxy-3,4,5,6-tetrachlorophenol; all of these compounds were unequivocally identified by mass spectrometry both before and after N,O-bis(trimethylsilyl)-trifluoroacetamide derivatization by comparison with authentic standards. Additional experiments showed that strain RW1 formed a second metabolite, 2-methoxy-3,4,5,6-tetrachlorophenol, from the original degradation product, 3,4,5,6-tetrachlorocatechol, by methylation of one of the two hydroxy substituents.
