Abstract
A novel method for the synthesis of cyclic peptide analogues has been developed. The general approach relies on the use of SET-promoted photocyclization reactions of peptides that contain N-terminal phthalimides as light absorbing electron acceptor moieties and C-terminal alpha-amidosilane or alpha-amidocarboxylate centers. Prototypical substrates are prepared by coupling preformed peptides with the acid chloride of N-phthalimidoglycine. Irradiation of these substrates results in the generation of cyclic peptide analogues in modest to good yields. The chemical efficiencies of these processes are not significantly affected by (1) the lengths of the peptide chains separating the phthalimide and alpha-amidosilane or alpha-amidocarboxylate centers and (2) the nature of the penultimate cation radical alpha-heterolytic fragmentation process (i.e., desilylation vs decarboxylation). An evaluation of the effects of N-alkyl substitution on the amide residues in the peptide chain showed that N-alkyl substitution does not have a major impact on the efficiencies of the photocyclization reactions but that it profoundly increases the stability of the cyclic peptide.

Abstract
The chemical diversity and various mechanisms of action of anticonvulsants make it difficult to identify a common pharmacophore. The present review outlines different pharmacophore models for anticonvulsant activity with emphasis on the development of new drugs. Some of them represent models for structurally different classes of compounds with similar mechanisms of action. Others represent pharmacophore models for similar chemical classes of compounds for which the mechanism of anticonvulsant action is not clear. A pharmacophore model for sodium channel blocking compounds, anticonvulsants with the phthalimide pharmacophore, a model for anticonvulsant semicarbazones, and a model for GABA uptake inhibitors are presented.

Abstract
Data from both our own and literature studies of the biochemistry and inhibition of influenza virus endonuclease was combined with data on the mechanism of action and the likely active site mechanism to propose a pharmacophore. The pharmacophore was used to design a novel structural class of inhibitors, some of which were found to have activities similar to that of known influenza endonuclease inhibitors and were also antiviral in cell culture.

Abstract
In this paper, SLV310 is presented as a novel, potential antipsychotic displaying the interesting combination of potent dopamine D(2) receptor antagonism and serotonin reuptake receptor inhibition in one molecule. As such, SLV310 could be useful in treating a broad range of symptoms in schizophrenia. This paper describes the structure-activity relationship in a series of compounds leading to SLV310 (6b, 2-[4-[4-(5-fluoro-1H-indol-3-yl)-3,6-dihydro-2H-pyridin-1-yl]-butyl]-phthalimide) together with pharmacological data showing the unique profile of this compound.

Abstract
Condensation of carbohydrazide derivatives Ia, b with dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate and acetylenedicarboxylic acid yielded benzofuran derivatives II a-d. Reaction of Ib with aromatic aldehydes formed products III a-d. Treatment of compounds III a-d with mercaptoacetic acid yielded the cyclocondensation products (IVa-d). Phthalic anhydride reacted with compounds (Ia, b)to form products (Va, b). It has been found that both khellin and visnagin (VIa, b)react with aromatic aldehydes to give arylidene derivatives (VIIa-e). Condensation of diphenyl nitrilamine with 2-arylidene furochromones VII derivatives afforded cyclo-adducts (VIII a-i). The antibacterial activities of the selected compounds were tested against Staphylococcus aureus, B. subtilis, E. coli, Pseudomonas, Salmonella and Erwinia with good results.

Abstract
Sulfonamides incorporating 2-carboxy-benzenecarboxamido (phthaloyl) moieties in their molecules were prepared by reaction of phthalic anhydride with aromatic/heterocyclic sulfonamides in mild conditions. Another closely related series of derivatives was prepared by reaction of the same reagents in more energetic conditions, when the corresponding phthalimides were obtained. Some of these compounds showed very good in vitro carbonic anhydrase (CA) isozymes I, II and IV inhibitory properties, with affinities for the enzymes in the low nanomolar range for the best inhibitors. Some of the potent CA inhibitors reported here have been formulated as sodium salts, in aqueous solutions for topical administration as antiglaucoma agents, in normotensive/glaucomatous rabbits. Only the derivatives possessing good water solubility, showed effective and longer lasting topical intraocular pressure (IOP) lowering than dorzolamide and brinzolamide, two clinically used topical antiglaucoma drugs. All the in vivo effective new compounds belonged to the first series of derivatives, whereas the corresponding phthalimides, although stronger in vitro CA inhibitors were devoid of topical IOP lowering properties, probably due to their unproper physico-chemical properties.

Abstract
The crystal structure of the title 2:1 salt of tetrazole and a substituted terephthalamidine, C(16)H(28)N(4)(2+).2CHN(4)(-), contains an infinite network of hydrogen bonds, with short N.N distances of 2.820 (2) and 2.8585 (19) A between the tetrazolate anion and the amidinium cation. Involvement of the lateral N atoms of the tetrazole in the hydrogen bonding appears to be a typical binding pattern for the tetrazolate anion.

Abstract
This paper describes the synthesis of N-pyridinyl(alkyl)phthalimides related to N-phenyl-4,5,6,7-tetrafluorophthalimides known to be inhibitors of tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNFalpha) production. Pharmacomodulation at the phthalimidic nitrogen led to the selection of two pharmacophoric fragments (2,4-lutidinyl and beta-picolyl), allowing significant inhibition of TNFalpha production (compounds 12 and 17). Variation of the substituents linked to the homocycle of their phthalimide scaffold indicated that high (TNFalpha production) inhibitory potency could be achieved, notably by 5-fluoro, 4- or 5-nitro, 5-amino and especially tetrafluoro substitution. The most active compound, N-(pyridin-3-ylmethyl)-4,5,6,7-tetrafluorophthalimide (32) (84% inhibition at 10 microM), also produced an anti-oedematous effect in the PMA-induced mouse-ear swelling test. Although less active than dexamethasone, it exerted a marked reduction in ear thickness after oral administration (63% vs. 85% for dexamethasone at 0.2 mMkg(-1)) and remained efficient after topical application (46% vs. 96% for the dexamethasone). It also induced potent inhibition in the rat carrageenan foot oedema test with an ID(50) (0.14 microMkg(-1)) comparable with that of N-(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)phthalimide (4) (0.15 microMkg(-1)).

Abstract
4-Amino-2-benzazepin-3-ones have proven very useful for studying the biologically active conformations of peptides. The synthesis of Pht-Aba-Xaa-OH by reaction of the corresponding 1,3-oxazolidin-5-one with trifluoromethanesulfonic acid (TFMSA) has been reported in the literature. However, when this procedure was applied to the preparation of Pht-Hba(Bn)-Gly-OH 8, many byproducts were formed and the yield of the desired aminobenzazepinones 7 and 8 was very low. We report in this paper an efficient methodology for the synthesis of Pht-Hba(2,6-Cl2-Bn)-Gly-OH 17 starting from the commercially available tyrosine. In our procedure, the dipeptide Pht-Tyr(2,6-Cl2-Bn)-Gly-OH 15 is converted to the 1,3-oxazolidin-5-one 16 which then undergoes Friedel-Crafts cyclization in the presence of tin tetrachloride to afford the desired 4-phthalimido-1,3,4,5-tetrahydro-8-(2,6-dichlorobenzyloxy)-2-be nzazepin-3-one 17 in excellent yield.

Abstract
A novel trinucleating ligand system H4(PDK), for porphyrin-based diamine bis(Kemp's triacid)imide, was constructed by using two molecules of Kemp's triacid and one molecule of porphyrin as building blocks. The dimeso-substituted octaalkylporphyrin unit, carrying bromomethyl groups at the ortho positions of two trans-positioned meso-phenyl groups, was synthesized from (3,3'-diethyl-4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-dipyrrolyl)methane and (alpha-bromo-o-tolualdehyde. The structures of both of the two atropisomers (alpha,alpha- and alpha,beta-) of bromoporphyrin, H2(alpha,alpha-BP) and H2(alpha,beta-BP), were determined by X-ray crystallography, with the alpha,beta-isomer as the free base form and the alpha,alpha-isomer as the zinc complex. Both the alpha,alpha- and alpha,beta-isomers of the bromomethyl porphyrins were converted to their aminomethyl derivatives, H2(alpha,alpha-AP) and H2(alpha,beta-AP), through the corresponding imidoporphyrin intermediates, H2(alpha,alpha-IP) and H2(alpha,beta-IP), by the Gabriel synthesis. The alpha,alpha- and alpha,beta-aminoporphyrins were coupled with Kemp's triacid anhydride-chloride to form H4(alpha,alpha-PDK) and H4(alpha,beta-PDK), respectively. Unlike the alpha,beta-isomer, the structure of which was determined by X-ray crystallography for the zinc complex, H4(alpha,alpha-PDK) has a remarkable and complicated solvent-dependent 1H NMR spectrum that suggests the existence of hydrogen bonding interactions between two convergent, tethered Kemp's triacid units, as predicted in a modeling study. The convergent feature is essential for the target ligand H4(alpha,alpha-PDK) to form trinuclear metal complexes with a bis(carboxylato) dimetallic unit sitting above a metalloporphyrin ring.

Abstract
Plots of log k(0) vs pH for the cyclization of trifluoroethyl and phenyl 2-aminomethylbenzoate to phthalimidine at 30 degrees C in H(2)O are linear with slopes of 1.0 at pH >3. The values of the second-order rate constants k(OH) for apparent OH(-) catalysis in the cyclization reactions are 1.7 x 10(5) and 5.7 x 10(7) M(-)(1) s(-)(1), respectively. These rate constants are 10(5)- and 10(7)-fold greater than for alkaline hydrolysis of trifluoroethyl and phenyl benzoate. The k(OH) for cyclization of the methyl ester is 7.2 x 10(3) M(-)(1) s(-)(1). Bimolecular general base catalysis occurs in the intramolecular nucleophilic reactions of the neutral species. The value of the Bronsted coefficient beta for the trifluoroethyl ester is 0.7. The rate-limiting step in the general base catalyzed reaction involves proton transfer in concert with leaving group departure. The mechanism involving rate-determining proton transfer exemplified by the methyl ester in this series (beta = 1.0) can then be considered a limiting case of the concerted mechanism. General acid catalysis of the neutral species reaction or a kinetic equivalent also occurs when the leaving group is good (pK(a) </= 12.4). That the mechanism and/or rate-determining step of the intramolecular aminolysis reactions is different than in bimolecular reactions or the intramolecular reactions of other esters is attributed to the excellent steric fit of the nucleophile to the reaction center of the 2-aminomethylbenzoate esters.

Abstract
Hexane-bisammonium-type compounds containing lateral phthalimide moieties are well-established ligands of the common allosteric binding site of muscarinic M(2) receptors. Previous structure-activity relationships (SAR) revealed two positively charged centers and two lateral phthalimide moieties in a defined arrangement to be essential of a high allosteric potency. The purpose of this study was to replace one carbonyl group of the phthalimides with hydrogens, hydroxy, alkoxy, phenyl, benzyl, and benzylidene groups in order to check the influence of these substituents on the allosteric activity in antagonist-linked receptors. The analysis of the quantitative SAR indicated that a high allosteric potency is related to a certain amount of rigidity as well as polarizibility and the ability to form hydrophobic interactions.

Abstract
Beginning from the screening hit and literature alpha(1)-adrenergic compounds, a hybridized basic skeleton A was proposed as the pharmacophore for potent and selective alpha(1a)-AR antagonists. Introduction of a hydroxy group to increase the flexibility afforded B which served as the screening model and resulted in the identification of the second-generation lead 1. Using the Topliss approach, a number of potent and selective alpha(1a)-AR antagonists were discovered. In all cases, binding affinity and selectivity at the alpha(1a)-AR of S-hydroxy enantiomers were higher than those of the R-hydroxy enantiomers. As compared to the des-hydroxy analogues, the S-hydroxy enantiomers had slightly lower binding affinity at alpha(1a)-AR but gained more than 2-fold selectivity for alpha(1a)-AR over alpha(1b)-AR, and 2- to 6-fold selectivity for alpha(1a)-AR over alpha(1d)-AR. They also had less cross activities against a panel of 25-35 peripheral and CNS receptors. The S-hydroxy enantiomers 23 and 24 (K(i) = 0.29 nM, 0.33 nM; alpha(1b)/alpha(1a) >5690, >6060; alpha(1d)/alpha(1a) = 186, 158, respectively) were slightly less potent but much more selective at alpha(1a)-AR than tamsulosin (K(i) = 0.13 nM, alpha(1b)/alpha(1a) = 14.8, alpha(1d)/alpha(1a) = 1.4). In the functional assay, the S-hydroxy enantiomers 20, 23, and 24 were less potent than tamsulosin in inhibiting contractions of rat prostate tissue but more selective in the inhibition of tissue contractions of rat prostate versus rat aorta. Compound 24 was selected as the development candidate for the treatment of BPH.
