Lapatinib, an approved epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitor, was explored as a starting point for the synthesis of new hits against Trypanosoma brucei, the causative agent of human African trypanosomiasis (HAT). Previous work culminated in 1 (NEU-1953), which was part of a series typically associated with poor aqueous solubility. In this report, we present various medicinal chemistry strategies that were used to increase the aqueous solubility and improve the physicochemical profile without sacrificing antitrypanosomal potency. To rank trypanocidal hits, a new assay (summarized in a cytocidal effective concentration (CEC50)) was established, as part of the lead selection process. Increasing the sp3 carbon content of 1 resulted in 10e (0.19 μM EC50 against T. brucei and 990 μM aqueous solubility). Further chemical exploration of 10e yielded 22a, a trypanocidal quinolinimine (EC50: 0.013 μM; aqueous solubility: 880 μM; and CEC50: 0.18 μM). Compound 22a reduced parasitemia 109 fold in trypanosome-infected mice; it is an advanced lead for HAT drug development.
The synthesis of tritiated 2-phenyl-4-[4-(2-pyrimidyl)piperazinyl]methylimidazole ([3H] NGD 94-1), a ligand selective for the dopamine D4 receptor subtype

A tritiated ligand for the dopamine D4 receptor subtype, 2-phenyl-4-[4-(2-pyrimidyl)piperazinyl]methylimidazole ([3H] NGD 94-1), was prepared in six steps starting with 3,5-dichlorobenzonitrile. NGD 94-1 was shown to have a greater t
Synthesis and anxiolytic activity of N-substituted cyclic imides (1R*,2S*3R*,4S*)-N-[4-[4-(2-pyrimidinyl)-1-piperazinyl]butyl]-2,3-b icyclo[2.2.1]heptanedicarboxime (Tandospirone) and related compounds

A series of cyclic imides bearing a ω-(4-aryl and 4-heteroaryl-1-piperazinyl)alkyl moieties was synthesized and tested in vivo for anxiolytic activity. The in vitro binding affinities of these compounds were also examined for 5-HT(1A) receptor sites. Structure-activity relationships within these series are discussed. One of these compounds, (1R*,2S*,3R*,4S*)-N-[4-[4-(2-pyrimidinyl)-1-piperazinyl]butyl]-2,3- bicyclo[2.2.1]heptanedicarboximide (1: tandospirone), was found to be equipotent with buspirone in its anxiolytic activity and more anxio-selective than buspirone and diazepam. Tandospirone (1) is currently undergoing clinical evaluation as a selective anxiolytic agent.
