Abstract
The catalytic asymmetric reductive amination of ketones with pinacolborane employing chiral SPINOL-derived borophosphates as catalysts has been realized. A series of chiral amine derivatives bearing multiple functional groups were obtained in good to excellent yields and enantioselectivities (up to 97% yield, 98% ee) under mild reaction conditions. Moreover, the synthetic applicability of the established method has been demonstrated by the asymmetric synthesis of (R)-Fendiline.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are widespread in the modern world, and their number is constantly growing. For a long time, CVDs have been the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Drugs for the treatment of CVD have been developed almost since the beginning of the 20th century, and a large number of effective cardioprotective agents of various classes have been created. Nevertheless, the need for the design and development of new safe drugs for the treatment of CVD remains. Literature data indicate that a huge number of cardioprotective agents of various generations and mechanisms correspond to a single generalized pharmacophore model containing two aromatic nuclei linked by a linear linker. In this regard, we put forward a concept for the design of a new generation of cardioprotective agents with a multitarget mechanism of action within the indicated pharmacophore model. This review is devoted to a generalization of the currently known compounds with cardioprotective properties and corresponding to the pharmacophore model of biaromatic compounds linked by a linear linker. Particular attention is paid to the history of the creation of these drugs, approaches to their design, and analysis of the structure-action relationship within each class.

Effect of fendiline on the maintenance and expression of methamphetamine-induced conditioned place preference in Sprague-Dawley rats. Psychopharmacology (Berl) 2014; 231:2019-29. [PMID: 24264565 PMCID: PMC3988275 DOI: 10.1007/s00213-013-3347-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/20/2013] [Accepted: 10/25/2013] [Indexed: 01/30/2023]
Abstract
RATIONALE Fendiline is a GABAB receptor-positive allosteric modulator and L-type Ca²⁺ channel blocker that is safe for human use. Based on these pharmacological properties, fendiline may be useful to disrupt associative memories that can drive relapse to drug use in drug-addicted individuals OBJECTIVE The current study evaluated the potential of fendiline to inhibit the maintenance and expression of learned associations between methamphetamine (meth) and an environmental context using conditioned place preference (CPP) in rats, to model for the associative learning that occurs during drug abuse by humans METHODS Following meth conditioning (1 mg/kg), fendiline (5 mg/kg) was administered at various post-conditioning times to ascertain if there was a temporal window during which fendiline would be effective. RESULTS Two once-daily injections of fendiline did not influence the maintenance of CPP regardless of the post-conditioning treatment time while 10 once-daily fendiline treatments inhibited CPP maintenance (p < 0.05). Fendiline administered immediately prior to the CPP test inhibited expression of meth-induced CPP in rats with a fendiline treatment history of 10 once-daily injections (p < 0.05) or those that received two injections that corresponded to the last 2 days of the 10-day treatment (p < 0.05). Fendiline did not produce preference or aversion on its own, nor did it alter motivated motor behavior. CONCLUSION Maintenance and expression of meth CPP is mitigated by repeated fendiline treatments when administered during the days that precede CPP testing. Reduction in the significance of meth-associated cues can reduce relapse; therefore, fendiline may be of value for addiction therapy in abstinent, meth-addicted humans.

Abstract
The effect of fendiline on cytosolic free Ca(2+) concentrations ([Ca(2+)](i)) and proliferation has not been explored in human oral cancer cells. This study examined whether fendiline altered Ca(2+) levels and caused cell death in OC2 human oral cancer cells. [Ca(2+)](i) and cell viability were measured using the fluorescent dyes fura-2 and WST-1, respectively. Fendiline at concentrations above 10 microM increased [Ca(2+)](i) in a concentration-dependent manner. The Ca(2+) signal was reduced partly by removing extracellular Ca(2+). The fendiline-induced Ca(2+) influx was sensitive to blockade of L-type Ca(2+) channel blockers. In Ca(2+)-free medium, after pretreatment with 50 microM fendiline, 1 microM thapsigargin (an endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) pump inhibitor)-induced [Ca(2+)](i) rises were inhibited; and conversely, thapsigargin pretreatment nearly abolished fendiline-induced [Ca(2+)](i) rises. Inhibition of phospholipase C with 2 microM U73122 did not change fendiline-induced [Ca(2+)](i) rises. At concentrations between 5 and 25 microM, fendiline killed cells in a concentration-dependent manner. The cytotoxic effect of 15 microM fendiline was not reversed by prechelating cytosolic Ca(2+) with BAPTA/AM. Collectively, in OC2 cells, fendiline induced [Ca(2+)](i) rises by causing Ca(2+) release from the endoplasmic reticulum and Ca(2+) influx from L-type Ca(2+) channels. Furthermore, fendiline-caused cytotoxicity was not via a preceding [Ca(2+)](i) rise.

Abstract
Novel, 2'-hydroxy derivatives of fendiline have been synthesised and their ability to induce relaxation of isolated rat small mesenteric and coronary arteries were determined. Both derivatives examined were significantly more potent as vasodilators than fendiline itself. Similar effects were observed on both mesenteric and coronary arteries.

Abstract
Metabotropic gamma-aminobutyric acid(B) (GABAB) receptors for the major inhibitory transmitter GABA, together with metabotropic glutamate (mGLuRs) receptors, the extracellular calcium-sensing receptors (CaSRs), some V2R pheromone receptors and T1R taste receptors, belong to the family of 3 G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). GABAB receptors are known to control neuronal excitability and modulate synaptic neurotransmission, playing a very important role in many physiological activities. These receptors are widely expressed and distributed in the nervous system and have been implicated in a variety of neurodegenerative and pathophysiological disorders including epilepsy, spasticity, chronic pain, depression, schizophrenia and drug addiction. To form a functional receptor entity, GABAB receptors must exist as a heterodimer consisting of GABAB1 and GABAB2 receptor subtypes with two 7-transmembrane proteins, and these subunits arise from distinct genes. The GABAB1 subunit binds the endogenous ligand within its extracellular N-terminus, whilst the GABAB2 subunit is not only essential for the correct trafficking of the GABAB1 subunit to the cell surface, but is also responsible for the interaction of the receptor with its cognate G-protein. Allosteric modulation has recently been recognized as an alternative pharmacological approach to gain selectivity in drug action. It is now generally accepted that modulators acting at the allosteric sites provide a novel perspective for the development of subtype-selective agents acting at GPCRs. These agents interact with allosteric binding sites quite separate from the highly conserved agonist binding region. In this review, we present a new class of phenylalkylamines, based on the lead compound fendiline, that are potent positive potentiators of GABAB receptor-mediated function and discuss their putative clinical applications. It is proposed that these new modulators may have therapeutic value in GABAB receptor pharmacology and are capable of selectively modifying GABAB receptor function. The allosteric modulators are offering an attractive and novel means to identify new leads, that are devoid of side effects associated with GABAB receptor agonists, and may, therefore, represent a major advance in the drug discovery process.

Abstract
The effect of fendiline, an anti-anginal drug, on cytosolic free Ca(2+) levels ([Ca(2+)](i)) in MG63 human osteosarcoma cells was explored by using fura-2 as a Ca(2+) indicator. Fendiline at concentrations between 1 and 200 microM increased [Ca(2+)](i) in a concentration-dependent manner and the signal saturated at 100 microM. The Ca(2+) signal was inhibited by 65+/-5% by Ca(2+) removal and by 38+/-5% by 10 microM nifedipine, but was unchanged by 10 microM La(3+) or verapamil. In Ca(2+)-free medium, pre-treatment with 1 microM thapsigargin (an endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) pump inhibitor) to deplete the endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) store inhibited fendiline-induced intracellular Ca(2+) release. The Ca(2+) release induced by 50 microM fendiline appeared to be independent of IP(3) because the [Ca(2+)](i) increase was unaltered by inhibiting phospholipase C with 2 microM U73122. Collectively, the results suggest that in MG63 cells fendiline caused an increase in [Ca(2+)](i) by inducing Ca(2+) influx and Ca(2+) release in an IP(3)-independent manner.

Abstract
The effect of fendiline, a documented inhibitor of L-type Ca2+ channels and calmodulin, on Ca2+ signaling in Madin Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells was investigated using fura-2 as a Ca2+ probe. Fendiline at 5-100 microM significantly increased [Ca2+]i concentration-dependently. The [Ca2+]i rise consisted of an initial rise and a slow decay. External Ca2+ removal partly inhibited the Ca2+ signals induced by 25-100 microM fendiline by reducing both the initial rise and the decay phase. This suggests that fendiline triggered external Ca2+ influx and internal Ca2+ release. In Ca(2+)-free medium, pretreatment with 50 microM fendiline nearly abolished the [Ca2+]i rise induced by 1 microM thapsigargin, an endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ pump inhibitor, and vice versa, pretreatment with thapsigargin prevented fendiline from releasing internal Ca2+. This indicates that the internal Ca2+ source for fendiline overlaps with that for thapsigargin. At a concentration of 50 microM, fendiline caused Mn2+ quench of fura-2 fluorescence at the 360 nm excitation wavelenghth, which was inhibited by 0.1 mM La3+ by 50%, implying that fendiline-induced Ca2+ influx has two components separable by La3+. Consistently, 0.1 mM La3+ pretreatment suppressed fendiline-induced [Ca2+]i rise, and adding La3+ during the rising phase immediately inhibited the signal. Addition of 3 mM Ca2+ increased [Ca2+]i after preincubation with 50-100 microM fendiline in Ca(2+)-free medium. However, 50-100 microM fendiline inhibited 1 microM thapsigargin-induced capacitative Ca2+ entry. Pretreatment with 40 microM aristolochic acid to inhibit phospholipase A2 inhibited 50 microM fendiline-induced internal Ca2+ release by 48%, but inhibition of phospholipase C with 2 microM U73122 or inhibition of phospholipase D with 0.1 mM propranolol had no effect. Collectively, we have found that fendiline increased [Ca2+]i in MDCK cells by releasing internal Ca2+ in a manner independent of inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3), followed by external Ca2+ influx.

Abstract
The effects of fendiline on the transient outward current (Ito) were investigated in rat ventricular cardiomyocytes. Extracellularly applied fendiline reduced peak and steady-state current amplitude of Ito; the inactivation of Ito was accelerated by the drug, which reflects onset of block. The described effects were concentration dependent: half-maximal effects were achieved at approximately 3 microM fendiline. Intracellularly applied fendiline (3 microM) did not affect Ito within 5 min. The steady-state current amplitude of Ito was more efficiently suppressed by the drug at 22 +/- 1 degrees C than at 36 +/- 1 degrees C. The recovery of Ito was analyzed by the application of twin depolarizing voltage pulses, interrupted by variable pulse intervals. In the presence of fendiline, recovery of Ito was about twofold slower than that under control conditions, independent of the drug concentration used, which reflects offset from block. Concentration-dependent onset but concentration-independent offset of block suggest that the described time constants correspond to voltage-dependent net binding and unbinding, respectively, of fendiline at its receptor sites. It is proposed that fendiline binds extracellularly at positive potentials to Ito channels in their open state and dissociates from the channels at rest.
