Alpha7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor is emerging as a central regulator in inflammatory processes, as documented by increasing studies reported in the literature. For instance, the activation of this nicotinic receptor subtype in resident macrophages inhibits the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, thereby attenuating local inflammatory responses, and may open a new window in the treatment of chronic inflammatory disease, such as Crohn's disease, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, and asthma. In continuation of our ongoing research for the development of new cholinergic drug candidates, we selected the nicotine derivative CAP55, which was previously shown to exert anti-inflammatory effects via nicotinic stimulation, as a suitable compound for lead optimization. Through the isosteric replacement of its 3,5-disubstituted 4,5-dihydroisoxazole core with a 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazole ring, we could rapidly generate a small library of CAP55-related analogs via a one-pot copper(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition. Receptor binding assays at nAChRs led to the identification of two promising derivatives, compounds 4 and 10, worthy of further pharmacological studies.

Abstract: A procedure for the expedient synthesis of well-characterized Cu(I) oxide nanoparticles (Cu2ONPs) from Cu(II) salts by employing Rice (Oryza sativa) as a cheap and ready source of reducing as well as stabilizing agent has been demonstrated. The judicious choice of rice as a catalyst has helped in the symbiotic combination of two events: viz., acidic hydrolysis of starch to form glucose and the subsequent formal reduction of Cu2+ by the in-situ generated monosaccharide reducing sugar (glucose) under the alkaline condition to produce Cu2O. Further, rice was also found to be effectively stabilizing the nanoparticles from agglomeration. Optical and microscopic techniques were suitably employed for the characterization of the nanoparticles of approximately 10 nm size. Furthermore, the specifically generated nanoparticles were found to be active catalysts in an aqueous medium for Azide-alkyne Huisgen cycloaddition (Click reaction) under base free condition via one-pot multi-component addition for the synthesis of mono-, bis- and tris-1,2,3-triazoles in good to excellent yields.
