We report the optimisation of a series of novel amide-piperidine (piperazine) derivatives using the multiple ligand approach with dopamine and serotonin receptors. Of the derivatives, compound 11 exhibited high affinity for the D2, 5-HT1A, and 5-HT2A receptors, but low affinity for the 5-HT2C and histamine H1 receptors and human ether-a-go-go-related gene (hERG) channels. In vivo, compound 11 reduced apomorphine-induced climbing, MK-801-induced hyperactivity and DOI-induced head twitching without observable catalepsy, even at the highest dose tested. In addition, it exhibited suppression in a CAR test. Furthermore, in a novel object recognition task, it displayed procognition properties. Therefore, compound 11 is a promising candidate multi-target antipsychotic.

Proteasome-mediated degradation of proteins is a vital cellular process and is performed by the ubiquitin-dependent proteasome system (UPS) and the ubiquitin-independent proteasome system (UIPS). While both systems are necessary to maintain healthy cell function, many disease states are characterized by reduced activity of the UPS, and the UIPS cannot by itself maintain proper protein levels. It has been suggested that the 20S core particle (20S CP), the isoform of the proteasome in the UIPS that can degrade proteins without a ubiquitin tag, can be stimulated with a small molecule to assist the 20S CP to accept and hydrolyze substrates more rapidly. Several small molecule stimulators of the 20S CP have since been discovered, including AM-404, an arachidonic acid derivative. AM-404 has previously been shown to inhibit fatty acid amide hydrolase activity. We wished to evaluate what structural components of AM-404 are required to stimulate the 20S CP with the long-term goal of using this information to design a stimulator with better drug-like qualities. We synthesized numerous derivatives of AM-404, varying the chain length, substitutions, and degree of unsaturation. Through this endeavor, we obtained several molecules capable of stimulating the 20S CP to various degrees. We discovered that though chain length is important, the presence of a cis-alkene in a specific location in the aliphatic chain has the greatest impact on the ability to stimulate the 20S CP. Two of the derivatives maintain modest stimulatory activity, and have improved toxicity over AM-404.

A facile and efficient reductive acylation of aromatic nitro compounds to corresponding anilides using a sodium sulfite-carboxylic acid system for the first time has been reported. The sodium sulfite reagent provides the colorless reductant in combination with stoichiometric amounts of carboxylic acid and enables the formation of anilides from nitroarenes without any additives in good to excellent yields with high purities and simple work-up. Furthermore, this protocol provides a novel and complementary access to some industrially important chemicals in kilogram scale under mild conditions.
