RESUMO
La desregulación de la neurotransmisión dopaminérgica central ha sido relacionada con enfermedades neurodegenerativas, tales como la enfermedad de Parkinson y la Corea de Huntington. En las últimas décadas son muchos los compuestos con actividad dopaminérgica central que se han diseñado, sintetizado y evaluado farmacológicamente y, a pesar de estos esfuerzos, no se ha logrado obtener un fármaco efectivo capaz de mejorar o curar estas patologías. Con el fin de contribuir en esta búsqueda primordial, en el presente trabajo se describe el diseño, la síntesis y la evaluación farmacológica del derivado de la lilolidina, clorhidrato de 6-(2-aminoindanil)-N-(2,4,5,6-tetrahidro-1H-pirrolo[3,2,1-ij]quinolina) 4 (MAIL), con el propósito de restablecer la homeostasis de la transmisión dopaminérgica en la enfermedad de Parkinson y/o la Corea de Huntington. Para ello, se utilizaron las diferentes estrategias nigroesclásicas y heterocíclicas enmarcadas en la síntesis orgánica a través de una ruta convergente. Asimismo, se realizó la evaluación farmacológica preliminar, al determinar el comportamiento estereotipado en ratas Sprague-Dawley cuando les fue administrado el derivado de la lilolidina, por las vías ICV (intracerebroventricular) e IE (intraestriatal). Los resultados obtenidos del compuesto 4 mostraron una acción central como agonista, a través de mecanismos dopaminérgicos.
Central dopaminergic neurotransmission deregulation has been related with neurodegenerative sicknesses, like Parkinsons disease and Huntingtons Chorea. During the last decades, many compounds with dopaminergic activity have been designed, synthesized and pharmacologically evaluated, but despite all these efforts, an effective drug able to improve or cure these pathologies has not been achieved. With the purpose to contribute in this essential search, this work describes the design, synthesis and pharmacological evaluation of the lilolidine derivative, 6-(2-aminoindanyl)-N-(2,4,5,6-tetrahydro-1H-pyrrolo[3,2,1-ij]quinoline hydrochloride) 4 (MAIL), with the purpose of restoring the homeostasis of dopaminergic transmission in Parkinsons disease and/or Huntingtons Chorea. To perform that, different organic synthesis classic and heterocyclic strategies were employed through a convergent route. Also, a preliminar pharmacological evaluation was done, where the stereotyped behavior of Sprague-Dawley rats was studied after the ICV (intracerebroventricular) and IE (intrastriatum) administration of the lilodine derivative. The results obtained of compound 4 showed a central dopaminergic agonist activity through dopaminergic mechanisms.
RESUMO
In recent decades, many compounds with central dopaminergic activity have been designed, synthesized and evaluated pharmacologically. However, it has not been possible to obtain a drug able to improve or cure diseases involving dopaminergic regulation in the central nervous system, such as Parkinson's disease and schizophrenia, among others. Taking into consideration the term "atypical pharmacophore" and from the compound 5, the aralkyl fragment was incorporated, and the compounds 10, 11, 13a-h and 14a-h were synthesized. Both the compounds 10 and 13a-h under its methoxylated form and the compounds 11 and 14a-h under the phenolic form, were evaluated to determine their pharmacologically agonistic and antagonistic effects on central dopaminergic activity. For this, the effect of intracerebroventricular injection of said compounds on the hydromineral balance and stereotyped behavior in rats, was determined. The results of the preliminary pharmacological evaluation show a centrally acting action through dopamine mechanisms, in which the compounds 10, 11, 13d-h and 14a showed responses as agonists, whereas compounds 14b-h, had responses as antagonists.
