Different synthetic routes to the enantiomerically pure octahydrobenzo[g]quinoline derivative JNZ092 were evaluated for their suitability to rapidly prepare a first clinical batch on a kilogram scale. On the basis of the experience of previous octahydrobenzo[g]quinoline projects a new linear synthesis of JNZ092 was established and scaled up successfully. The overall yield was increased by a factor 10 and the preparation time shortened significantly as compared to those of the medicinal chemistry route. As the key strategy all atoms of the octahydrobenzo[g]quinoline skeleton were introduced early by the reaction of the 6-lithiated 1,7-dimethoxynaphthalene with ethyl-2-cyano-3-ethoxyacrylate. As a valuable technological refinement the practicability of a chromatographic technique with repetitive feed injection for the problematic separation of the enantiomers was demonstrated.

Novel 2-aminotetralin derivatives were synthesized as antifungal agents. The 2-aminotetralin scaffold was chemically designed to mimic the tetrahydroisoquinoline ring of the lead molecule described before. Their antifungal activities were evaluated in vitro by measuring the minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs). Compounds 10a, 12a, 12c, 13b, and 13d are more potent than fluconazole against seven testing human fungal pathogens. Compound 10b exhibits much higher antifungal activities against all of the four fluconazole-resistant clinic Candida albicans strains than the control drugs including amphotericin B, terbinafine, ketoconazole, and itraconazole. The mode of action of some compounds to the potential receptor lanosterol 14α-demethylase (CYP51) was investigated by molecular docking. The studies presented here provide a new structural type for the development of novel antifungal compounds. Furthermore, 10b was evaluated in vivo by a rat vaginal candidiasis model, and it was found that 10b significantly decreases the number of fungal colony counts.

2-Tetralones mono- and disubstituted with methoxy or hydroxy groups in the aromatic ring are hydrogenated to 2-tetralols in good yields by non-fermenting baker's yeast.The prevalent enantioform of the reduction product and its e.e. were found to depend on the substitution pattern.In one case, i.e. the biotransformation of 5-methoxy-2-tetralone into the corresponding 2-tetralol, an e.e. >/= 98percent was observed.A simple abstract model for explaining and predicting the stereochemical outcome in the yeast-mediated carbonyl reduction of 2-tetralones is proposed.
