- Aza analog of dithio-β-isoindigo
-
An improved synthesis of 2,3-pyridinedicarboxyic acid is proposed, providing a higher yield of the target product. The acid was used as starting material for the synthesis of dithio-β-isoindigo. The IR and electronic spectra of the latter were studied.

- Synthesis and pharmacological activity of triazole derivatives inhibiting eosinophilia
-
In order to develop novel antiasthmatic agents based on a new mechanism of action, a series of 3-substituted 5-amino-1- [(methylamino)(thiocarbonyl)]-1H-1,2,4-triazole derivatives were synthesized and evaluated in a model in which eosinophilia was induced in the airway through intravenous (iv) injection of Sephadex particles on days 0, 2, and 5. After screening of several hundred derivatives, we finally identified the highly potent eosinophilia inhibitor 5-amino-3-(4-chlorophenyl)-1- [(methylamino)(thiocarbonyl)]-1H-triazole (23c, GCC-AP0341), which had ID50 values of 0.3 and 0.07 mg/kg when administered orally (os) and intraperitoneally (ip), respectively. This compound showed complete inhibition of the hypersensitivity induced by ascaris inhalation at an ip dose of 1 mg/kg as well as low toxicity, with an LD50 value of >2.0 g/kg in mice. Extensive study of its mechanism of action revealed that 23c inhibited eosinophil survival induced by interleukin-5 (IL-5), but had little or no effect on leukotriene D4 (LTD4) or platelet-activating factor (PAF)- induced responses. Taken together, these results suggest 23c as a novel candidate for the treatment of chronic asthma. Further studies are now underway.

- PREPARATION AND STRUCTURAL ASSIGNMENTS OF SOME ISOMERIC 2,3-DISUBSTITUTED PYRIDINES
-
The preparation of several isomeric 2,3-disubstituted pyridine compounds are described and their spectroscopical data given.IR and NMR spectra of quinolinimide, reported by Distefano et al., are contradicted.The electron impact mass spectra are found to be useful in the differentiation between positional isomers.
