The geometry of N-hydroxymethyl compounds. Part 3: Geometries of N-(hydroxymethyl)amides related to reactivities

Using MNDO calculations, ground state structures of 11 N-(hydroxymethyl)amides were predicted to have pyramidal nitrogens and an s-Z conformation. The results compare favourably with ab initio calculations and with X-ray data except that MNDO tends to predict twist angles around partial double bonds which are too large. A correlation was found between N-CH2OH bond length and the logarithm of the half-life under physiological conditions. MNDO ground state structures for five N-(hydroxymethyl)amide anions were calculated to have s-E conformations and their N-CH2OH bond lengths also correlated with the half-lives of the N-(hydroxymethyl)amides. These correlations may be valuable in assessing potential anti-tumour activity.     

Structural studies on bio-active compounds. Part 18. Crystal structure and molecular modelling of methyl 4-(3-ethyl-3-hydroxymethyltriazen-1-yl) benzoate.

The title compound is an isomer, differing only by the shift of a methyl group, of the anti-cancer agent ethyl 4-(3-hydroxymethyl-3-methyltriazen-1-yl) benzoate; yet its half-life at physiological pH is only one-third as long. It forms crystals with triclinic symmetry, space group P1, and unit cell dimensions a = 6.184 (2), b = 7.214 (2), c = 14.575 (2) A, alpha = 89.61 (2), beta = 79.96 (2), gamma = 68.76 (2)0. Its labile N-CH2OH bond is slightly shorter than that of the more stable isomer but becomes almost equal after optimization of geometry by semi-empirical molecular orbital techniques. Calculated heats of formation are virtually identical for these compounds, as they are for the daughter species after loss of CH2O. The hydroxyl group forms an intermolecular hydrogen bond to a carboxyl oxygen atom in preference to the less negative triazene N(1).     

Enantioselective synthesis and biological activity of (3S,4R)- and (3S,4S)-3-hydroxy-4-hydroxymethyl- 4-butanolides in relation to PGE2

Compounds 9 and 13 were synthesized, and their structures and stereochemistry were elucidated by spectroscopic methods. In competition binding experiments, specific [(3)H]-PGE(2) binding was significantly displaced by compound 9 and, to a lesser extent, by 13, in a dose-dependent manner. The biological properties of compound 9 were studied on HL-60 cells, and several effects were found related to those of PGE(2). Compound 9 increases c-fos mRNA level as does PGE(2) and antagonizes TPA-induced terminal differentiation.

Anti-HIV activity of (-)-(2R,4R)-1- (2-hydroxymethyl-1,3-dioxolan-4-yl)-thymine against drug-resistant HIV-1 mutants and studies of its molecular mechanism

(-)-(2R,4R)-1-(2-Hydroxymethyl-1,3-dioxolan-4-yl)thymine (DOT) is the first thymidine kinase-activated nucleoside that is significantly active against all of the clinically significant NRTI-resistant HIV-1 mutants, including AZT (D67N/K70R/T215Y/K219Q), Tenofovir (K65R), and Lamivudine (M184V). To understand the molecular mechanism of drug resistance and the antiviral activity of DOT against drug-resistant RTs, molecular modeling studies of DOT-TP complexed with the wild-type (WT) and mutated RT were conducted. The key reason for this interesting antiviral activity profile is the presence of a dioxolane ring.     

The formation and metabolism of N-hydroxymethyl compounds—III: The metabolic conversion of N-methyl and N,N-dimethylbenzamides to N-hydroxymethyl compounds

The stability of metabolically-generated N-(hydroxymethyl) compounds was investigated using a series of N-methylbenzamides as model substrates. N-(Hydroxymethyl)-benzamide was characterized as a major metabolite of N-methylbenzamide in vitro, and was also identified as a urinary metabolite of N-methylbenzamide. N-(Hydroxymethyl) compounds were also found as metabolites of 4-chloro-N-methylbenzamide and 4-t-butyl-N-methylbenzamide in vitro. Thus substitution in the 4-position of the phenyl ring of derivatives of N-(hydroxymethyl)-benzamide did not affect their stability sufficiently to cause degradation to formaldehyde under the conditions used. N-(Hydroxymethyl)-N-methylbenzamide was identified as a metabolite of N, N-dimethylbenzamide in vitro. However, N-(hydroxymethyl)-N-methylbenzamide was less stable than N-(hydroxymethyl)-benzamide under alkaline conditions. Furthermore, N-(hydroxymethyl)-N-methylbenzamide, unlike N-(hydroxymethyl)-benzamide and its 4-substituted derivatives, was positive in the colorimetric assay for formaldehyde, presumably because of its degradation to produce formaldehyde. Thus substitution on the nitrogen atom which bears the methyl group in N-methylbenzamide markedly affected the stability of the N-methylol produced during oxidative metabolism. N-Formylbenzamide was identified as a metabolite of N-methylbenzamide in suspensions of mouse hepatocytes and also in vivo. The mechanism for its production probably involves the generation of N-(hydroxymethyl)-benzamide.

Novel histamine H(3)-receptor antagonists with carbonyl-substituted 4-(3-(phenoxy)propyl)-1H-imidazole structures like ciproxifan and related compounds

Novel histamine H(3)-receptor antagonists possessing a 4-(3-(phenoxy)propyl)-1H-imidazole structure generally substituted in the para-position of the phenyl ring have been synthesized according to Mitsunobu or S(N)Ar reactions. With in vitro and in vivo screening for H(3)-receptor antagonist potency, the carbonyl-substituted derivatives proved to be highly active compounds. A number of compounds showed in vitro affinities in the subnanomolar concentration range, and the 4-hexanoyl (10) and 4-acetyl-3-methyl (29) substituted derivatives showed in vivo antagonist potencies of about 0.1 mg/kg after po administration. Many proxifans were also tested for their affinities at other histamine receptor subtypes thereby demonstrating their pronounced H(3)-receptor subtype selectivity. Since the cyclopropyl ketone derivative 14 (ciproxifan) had high affinity in vitro as well as high potency in vivo, it was selected for further studies in monkeys. It showed good oral absorption and long-lasting, dose-dependent plasma levels making it a promising compound for drug development.

Crystal structures of calcium channel antagonists: 2,6-dimethyl-3,5-dicarbomethoxy-4-[2-nitro-, 3-cyano-, 4-(dimethylamino)-, and 2,3,4,5,6-pentafluorophenyl]-1,4-dihydropyridine

The crystal structures of 2,6-dimethyl-3,5-dicarbomethoxy-4-(2-nitrophenyl)-1,4-dihydropyridine (Nifedipine) and the 3-cyano-, 4-(dimethylamino)- and 2,3,4,5,6-pentafluorophenyl derivatives were determined. The 1,4-dihydropyridine ring in all four compounds has a boat-type conformation with varying degrees of puckering at the C4 position. Increasing distortion from planarity at this position shows a limited correlation with decreasing biological activity, determined as the ability to inhibit the Ca2+-dependent muscarinic-induced mechanical responses of guinea pig ileal longitudinal smooth muscle.

Kinetic study of the hydrolysis of 1-(4-nitrophenyl)-3-methyltriazene in aqueous solution and in the presence of surfactants

The hydrolysis of 1-(4-nitrophenyl)-3-methyltriazene in aqueous solution has been studied over a pH range of 3-14. The effect of the anionic and cationic surfactants (sodium lauryl sulfate and hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide) on the rate of hydrolysis was investigated. The quaternary ammonium bromide causes a rate decrease at all pH values studied, while sodium lauryl sulfate enhances the acid-catalyzed hydrolysis and decreases the observed rate constants in the pH-independent region. The results are discussed in terms of the current theory of micellar effects.     

Main metabolites of 1-(2-chloroethyl)-3-[1'-(5'-p-nitrobenzoyl-2',3'-isopropylidene)-alpha, beta-D-ribofuranosyl]-1-nitrosourea and 1-(2-chloroethyl)-3-(2',3', 4'-tri-O-acetyl-alpha, beta-D-ribopyranosyl)-1-nitrosourea in rats

The metabolism of two glycosylnitrosoureas, 1-(2-chloroethyl)-3-[1'-(5'-p-nitrobenzoyl-2',3'-isopropylidene)-alpha, beta-D-ribofuranosyl]-1-nitrosourea (RFCNU) and 1-(2-chloroethyl)-3-(2',3',4'-tri-O-acetyl-alpha, beta-D-ribopyranosyl)-1-nitrosourea (RPCNU), has been investigated in the rat. With the label on the carboxyl moiety of RFCNU, we have shown that hydrolysis of the 4-nitrobenzoyl ester occurred to a large extent in vivo; 4-nitrobenzoic acid and its glucuronide were the major urinary metabolites. Two other minor metabolites and their glucuronides were identified as 4-aminobenzoic acid and 4-acetamidobenzoic acid. With the label on the chloroethyl moieties of RFCNU and RPCNU, we have shown that chloroethanol was a major degradation product of this alkylating part of the molecule. The concentration of chloroethanol in plasma vs. time has been determined. In urine, four metabolites derived from alkylated glutathione, namely thiodiacetic acid and its sulfoxide, N-acetylcarboxymethylcysteine, and N-acetylhydroxyethylcysteine, have been identified.     

Studies on monocyclic beta-lactam antibiotics. IV. Synthesis and antibacterial activity of (3S,4R)-3-[2-(2-aminothiazol-4-yl)-(Z)-2-(O-substituted oxyimino)acetamido]-4-methyl-1- (1H-tetrazol-5-yl)-2-azetidinones

The synthesis and in vitro activity of the 3-(O-substituted oxyiminoacetamido)-2-azetidinones (IV) possessing a tetrazole moiety at N-1 position are described. The introduction of lipophilic functions into the oxyimino moiety gave in some good activity against staphylococci, but decreased activity against Gram-negative bacteria. In contrast, the introduction of hydrophilic functions such as carboxycyclobutane resulted in strong activity against Gram-negative bacteria including Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and no or very small activity against the staphylococci.
