RESUMEN
The potency and selectivity of a series of 1-{(1S)-2-[amino]-1-[3-(trifluoromethoxy)phenyl]ethyl}cyclohexanol analogues are described. These compounds were prepared to improve in vitro metabolic stability and achieve brain penetration. Compound 13 (WAY-260022, NRI-022) was found to be a potent inhibitor of norepinephrine reuptake and demonstrated excellent selectivity over the serotonin and dopamine transporters. Additionally, 13 exhibited oral efficacy in a rat model of thermoregulatory dysfunction.
RESUMEN
The first efficient and regioselective palladium-catalyzed cyclization of internal alkynes and 2-amino-3-iodoacrylates to give moderate to excellent yields of highly functionalized pyrroles has been developed. This approach is applicable to a range of alkynes and affords the deacylated pyrrole under reaction conditions for most substrates. [reaction: see text]

We have reported on the design, synthesis, and biological characterization of (R)-4-[3,4-dioxo-2-(1,2,2-trimethyl-propylamino)-cyclobut-1-enylamino]-3-ethyl-benzonitrile (1), a novel, potent, and selective adenosine 5'-triphosphate-sensitive potassium (K(ATP)) channel opener with potential utility for the treatment of urge urinary incontinence (UUI). Excising the aniline-derived nitrogen atom of 1 or replacing it with an aralkyl group, led to bladder smooth muscle relaxant chemotypes 3 and 4, respectively. Prototype compounds in these series were found to produce significant increases in an iberiotoxin (IbTx)-sensitive hyperpolarizing current, thus suggesting that these relatively modest structural modifications resulted in a switch in the mechanism of action of these smooth muscle relaxants from K(ATP) channel openers to activators of the large-conductance Ca2+-activated potassium channel (BK(Ca)). We report herein the syntheses and biological evaluation of a series of substituted 3-amino-4-aryl-(and aralkyl-)cyclobut-3-ene-1,2-diones.
