Synthesis of benzopyran derivatives as PPARα and/ or PPARγ activators
2019
International audience; We describe the synthesis of 26 compounds, small polycerasoidol analogs, that are Lipinski’s rule-of-five compliant. In order to confirm key structural features to activate PPARα and/or PPARγ, we have adopted structural modifications in the following parts: (i) the benzopyran core (hydrophobic nucleus) by benzopyran-4-one, dihydrobenzopyran or benzopyran-4-ol; (ii) the side chain at 2-position by shortening to C3, C4 and C5-carbons versus C-9-carbons of polycerasoidol; (iii) the carboxylic group (polar head) by oxygenated groups (hydroxyl, acetoxy, epoxide, ester, aldehyde) or non-oxygenated motifs (allyl and alkyl). Benzopyran-4-ones 6, 12, 13 and 17 as well as dihy…
Synthesis, benzodiazepine receptor binding and molecular modelling of isochromeno[4,3-c]pyrazol-5(1H)-one derivatives
2012
Abstract A series of isochromeno[4,3-c]pyrazole-5(1H)-one derivatives 7b–h were prepared and tested at 10 μM for their ability to displace specific [3H]flunitrazepam from bovine brain membranes. The substitution pattern of the above derivatives was shown to influence the receptor affinity. The most active compound of the series was 7e, showing a 54% inhibition of [3H]flunitrazepam binding. Compounds 7a–d,i were compared with the known isomers chromeno[4,3-c]pyrazole-4(1H)-ones 14a–d,i, showing that the isochromene/chromene isomerism influences the activity.
Prenylated benzopyran derivatives from two Polyalthia species
1996
Two new benzopyran derivatives, (6E,10E)-isopolycerasoidol and polycerasoidin methyl ester, have been isolated from a methanolic extract of the stem bark of Polyalthia cerasoides. Their structures were established on the basis of chemical and spectral evidence. Polyalthia sclerophylla contains (6E,10E)-isopolycerasoidol, besides the known polycerasoidin and polycerasoidol. In addition, a known phenylpropene derivative, trans-asarone, has also been isolated from both species and fully characterized.
Structure elucidation of benzopyran-2-ol in solution and in solid state following the reduction of coumarin by DIBAL-H
2001
Lactols are compounds of increasing interest in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical derivatives. Nevertheless, the product obtained by the reduction of the carbonyl group of coumarin has been described only twice, and without definition of its precise chemical structure. Since these studies, doubts have been raised about the existence of a monomeric or dimeric form. Our study has led us to conclude definitely that the single dimeric form exists and to precisely define the spectral properties of the two diastereoisomers.

Remarkably, isobenzofuran and benzopyran derivatives are obtained by the title reaction and not as described in earlier publications five- or six-membered lactams.
Effect of inhibition of the electrogenic Na+/K+ pump on the mechanical activity in the rat uterus.
1996
The effects of ouabain and K(+)-free solution were studied in estrogen-primed rat uterine strips under resting tone or repeatedly stimulated with KCl, acetylcholine or oxytocin applied for 20 minutes at 60 minute intervals. These effects were compared with those of the K+ channel opener cromakalim. In preparations under resting tone, ouabain (0.1 mM and 0.3 mM) induced rhythmic contractions which disappeared after 20-30 minutes whereas at a higher concentration (1 mM) it evoked a rapid, phasic response followed by a small tonic contraction. Exposure of the strip to a K(+)-free solution induced either rhythmic waves, which ceased after 8-10 minutes, or a single phasic contraction which was f…
Cromakalim inhibits electrically-evoked [3H]acetylcholine release from a tube-preparation of the rat isolated trachea by an epithelium-dependent mech…
1993
Rat isolated tracheae were labelled by incubation with [3H]choline to measure the tritium efflux elicited by electrical stimulation of the extrinsic parasympathetic nerves in vitro. Stimulated tritium efflux reflects the neuronal release of newly synthesized acetylcholine; the effects of potassium channel openers on the stimulated tritium efflux were investigated. In tracheae opened longitudinally neither cromakalim nor its 3S,4R-enantiomer, BRL 38227, reduced the stimulated tritium efflux, whereas in intact tube-preparations cromakalim (0.01-1 mumol/l) mediated a concentration-dependent inhibition. The inhibitory effect of 1 mumol/l cromakalim was prevented by 0.1 mumol/l glibenclamide. Li…
Differential effects of potassium channel blockers on neurohypophysial release of oxytocin and vasopressin. Evidence for frequency-dependent interact…
1988
Isolated rat neurohypophyses were fixed by their stalks to a platinum wire electrode and superfused with Krebs-HEPES solution. Vasopressin and oxytocin released into the medium were determined by specific radioimmunoassays. Hormone secretion was increased by electrical stimulation of the pituitary stalk at different frequencies. The effects of several potassium channel blockers, tetraethylammonium (TEA) ions, 4-aminopyridine (4-AP) and 3,4-diaminopyridine (3,4-DAP) were tested. The release of vasopressin and oxytocin evoked by electrical stimulation with 900 pulses at 15 Hz (about 900 and 1,000 μU, respectively) was about 10 times higher than that evoked by 900 pulses at 3 Hz. Both 10 and 3…
Sequestration of biogenic amines by alginic and fulvic acids.
2006
The interaction of natural (alginic and fulvic acids) and synthetic (polyacrylic acid 2.0 kDa) polyelectrolytes with some protonated polyamines [diamines: ethylendiamine, 1,4-diaminobutane (or putrescine), 1,5-diaminopentane (or cadaverine); triamines: N-(3-aminopropyl)-1,4diaminobutane (or spermidine), diethylenetriamine; tetramine: N.N'-bis(3-aminopropyl)-1,4-diaminobutane (or spermine); pentamine: tetraethylene-pentamine; hexamine: pentaethylenehexamine] was studied at T=25 degrees C by potentiometry and calorimetry. Measurements were performed without supporting electrolyte, in order to avoid interference, and results were reported at I=0 mol L(-1). For all the systems, the formation of…
Synthesis and Structure-Affinity Relationships of Spirocyclic Benzopyrans with Exocyclic Amino Moiety
2019
σ1 and/or σ2 receptors play a crucial role in pathological conditions such as pain, neurodegenerative disorders, and cancer. A set of spirocyclic cyclohexanes with diverse O-heterocycles and amino moieties (general structure III) was prepared and pharmacologically evaluated. In structure-activity relationships studies, the σ1 receptor affinity and σ1:σ2 selectivity were correlated with the stereochemistry, the kind and substitution pattern of the O-heterocycle, and the substituents at the exocyclic amino moiety. cis-configured 2-benzopyran cis-11b bearing a methoxy group and a tertiary cyclohexylmethylamino moiety showed the highest σ1 affinity ( Ki = 1.9 nM) of this series of compounds. In…
