Abstract
Nicotinamide and its derivatives, recognized as crucial drug intermediates, have been a focal point of extensive chemical modifications and rigorous pharmacological studies. Herein, a series of novel nicotinamide derivatives, nicotinimidamides, were synthesized via a tandem CuAAC/ring-cleavage/cyclization/oxidation four-component reaction procedure from O-acetyl oximes, terminal ynones, sulfonyl azides, and NH4OAc. This strategy is significantly more efficient than previously reported, and the cytotoxicity of the nicotinimidamides is also tested. This project not only exhibits a sustainable and eco-friendly domino methodology for the creation of nicotinimidamides but also presents a promising candidate for liver cancer treatment.

Abstract
Two C═C bond participation in annulation to pyridines using N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) as the N1 and C4 synthons has been carried out. In this reaction, DMF contributed one N atom and one C atom to two disconnected positions of pyridine ring, with no need for an additional nitrogen source. Two C═C bonds in two molecules of substituted styrenes offered four carbon atoms in the presence of iodine and persulfate. With the optimized conditions in hand, both symmetric and unsymmetric diaryl-substituted pyridines were obtained in useful yields. On the basis of relevant literature and a series of control experimental results, a possible mechanism was proposed in this work, which may demonstrate how DMF provides both N1 and C4 sources.

Abstract
A library of medicinally and synthetically important nicotinimidamides was synthesized by a copper-catalyzed multicomponent domino reaction of oxime esters, terminal ynones, sulfonyl azides, aryl aldehydes and acetic ammonium. Its synthetic pathway involves the formation of a highly reactive N-sulfonyl acetylketenimine, characterized by high selectivity, combinations of potential nucleophiles and electrophiles, mild reaction conditions and a wide substrate scope, and is a rare five-component example of a CuAAC/ring-opening reaction.

Abstract
Selective DAAO inhibitors have demonstrated promising therapeutic effects in clinical studies, including clinically alleviating symptoms of schizophrenic patients and ameliorating cognitive function in Alzheimer's patients with early phase. Herein we report the synthesis and preliminary evaluation of a 11C-labeled positron emission tomography ligand based on a DAAO inhibitor, DAO-1903 (8). 11C-Isotopologue of 8 was prepared in high radiochemical yield with high radiochemical purity (>99%) and high molar activity (>37 GBq/µmol). In vitro autoradiography studies indicated that the ligand possessed high in vitro specific binding to DAAO, while in vivo dynamic PET studies demonstrated that [11C]8 failed to cross the blood-brain barrier possibly due to moderate brain efflux mechanism. Further chemical scaffold optimization is necessary to overcome limited brain permeability and improve specific binding.

Abstract
Epibatidine is a potent analgetic agent with very high affinity for brain nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChR). We determined the activity profiles of three epibatidine derivatives, RTI-36, RTI-76, and RTI-102, which have affinity for brain nAChR equivalent to that of epibatidine but reduced analgetic activity. RNAs coding for nAChR monomeric subunits and/or concatamers were injected into Xenopus oocytes to obtain receptors of defined subunit composition and stoichiometry. The epibatidine analogs produced protracted activation of high sensitivity (HS) α4- and α2-containing receptors with the stoichiometry of 2alpha:3beta subunits but not low sensitivity (LS) receptors with the reverse ratio of alpha and beta subunits. Although not strongly activated by the epibatidine analogs, LS α4- and α2-containing receptors were potently desensitized by the epibatidine analogs. In general, the responses of α4(2)β2(2)α5 and β3α4β2α6β2 receptors were similar to those of the HS α4β2 receptors. RTI-36, the analog closest in structure to epibatidine, was the most efficacious of the three compounds, also effectively activating α7 and α3β4 receptors, albeit with lower potency and less desensitizing effect. Although not the most efficacious agonist, RTI-76 was the most potent desensitizer of α4- and α2-containing receptors. RTI-102, a strong partial agonist for HS α4β2 receptors, was effectively an antagonist for LS α4β2 receptors. Our results highlight the importance of subunit stoichiometry and the presence or absence of specific accessory subunits for determining the activity of these drugs on brain nAChR, affecting the interpretation of in vivo studies since in most cases these structural details are not known. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: Epibatidine and related compounds are potent ligands for the high-affinity nicotine receptors of the brain, which are therapeutic targets and mediators of nicotine addiction. Far from being a homogeneous population, these receptors are diverse in subunit composition and vary in subunit stoichiometry. We show the importance of these structural details for drug activity profiles, which present a challenge for the interpretation of in vivo experiments since conventional methods, such as in situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry, cannot illuminate these details.

Abstract
The synthesis, nAChR in vitro and in vivo pharmacological properties of 2'-fluoro-3'-(substituted thiophenyl)deschloroepibatidine analogues (5a-f, 6a-d, and 7a-c) are presented herein. All had subnanomolar affinity at α4β2*-nAChRs. Contrary to lead structure epibatidine, a potent nAChR agonist, all were potent α4β2- and α3β4-AChR antagonists in an in vitro functional assay. In vivo, the compounds were also nAChR antagonists with various degrees of agonist activity. Compounds 5e, 5f, 6a, 6c, 6d, and 7c had no agonist effects in the tail-flick, hot-plate, hypothermia, or spontaneous activity tests, whereas 5a-d, 7a and 7b did not have agonist activity in the tail-flick and hot-plate tests but, like varenicline, were agonists in the hypothermia and spontaneous activity tests. Compound 6b had agonist activity in all four in vivo tests. All the compounds were antagonists of nicotine-induced antinociception in the tail-flick test, and all except 5c, 5d, 5f, and 6b were antagonists of nicotine-induced antinociception in the hot-plate test. Compound 7c, which had a Ki = 0.86 nM in the binding assay similar potency at α4β2/α3β4 with selectivity relative to α7 nAChRs, had an AD50 value of 0.001 μg/kg in the tail-flick test with no agonist activity in the in vitro or in vivo test had one of the more interesting profiles.

Abstract
In this study, we report the synthesis, nAChR in vitro and in vivo pharmacological properties of 2'-fluoro-(carbamoylpyridinyl)deschloroepibatidine analogues (5, 6a,b, and 7a,b), which are analogues of our lead structure epibatidine. All of the analogues had subnanomolar binding affinity for α4β2*-nAChRs, and all were potent antagonists of α4β2-nAChRs in an in vitro functional assay. Analogues 6a,b were also highly selective for α4β2- relative to α3β4- and α7-nAChRs. Surprisingly, all of the analogues were exceptionally potent antagonists of nicotine-induced antinociception in the mouse tail-flick test, relative to standard nAChR antagonists such as DHβE. 2'-Fluoro-(4-carbamoyl-3-pyridinyl)deschloroepitabidine (6a) displayed an attractive combination of properties, including subnanomolar binding affinity (Ki = 0.07 nM), submicromolar inhibition of α4β2-nAChRs in the functional assay (IC50 = 0.46 μM) with a high degree of selectivity for α4β2- relative to the α3β4/α7-nAChRs (54-/348-fold, respectively), potent inhibition of [(3)H]dopamine release mediated by α4β2*- and α6β2*-nAChRs in a synaptosomal preparation (IC50 = 21 and 32 nM, respectively), and an AD50 of 0.007 μg/kg as an antagonist of nicotine induced antinociception in the mouse tail-flick test which is 64 250 times more potent than DHβE. These data suggest that compound 6a will be highly useful as a pharmacological tool for studying nAChRs and merits further development.

Abstract
Over the last several years we have synthesized and studied the in vitro and in vivo nAChR pharmacological properties of epibatidine (4) analogs. In this study we report the synthesis, nAChR in vitro and in vivo pharmacological properties of 3'-(substituted pyridinyl)-deschloroepibatidine analogs (5a-e and 6a-e). All of the analogs had high binding affinity for α4β2(∗)-nAChRs. Several of the analogs were potent antagonists of α4β2-nAChRs in in vitro efficacy tests and were potent antagonists of nicotine-induced antinociception in the mouse tail-flick test. Compound 6b had a Ki = 0.13 nM in the binding assay, 25- and 46-fold selectivity for the α4β2(∗)-nAChR relative to the α3β4- and α7-nAChR, respectively, in the in vitro efficacy test and an AD50 = 0.13 μg/kg in the tail-flick test. Combined with favorable calculated physiochemical properties compared to varenicline, our findings suggest that 6b should be considered for development as a potential pharmacotherapy for treating nicotine addiction and other CNS disorders.
