Reactivity and regioselectivity of magnesium phenolates towards isatins: One-step synthesis of 3-(2-hydroxyaryl)-3-hydroxyindolones

, p. 3981 - 3984 (1998)
A variety of aryloxymagnesium bromides react with isatins under extremely mild conditions to provide 3-(2-hydroxyaryl)-3-hydroxyindolones in good yield. The main features of this protocol consist of exceptionally selective ortho-C-alkylation of the ambident phenolate anion and the lack of diarylated products. Moreover, aryloxymagnesium bromides derived from meta- substituted phenols react with isatins exclusively at the sterically less hindered ortho-position of the phenol.
Synthesis and structure-activity relationships of 3-aryloxindoles: A new class of calcium-dependent, large conductance potassium (maxi-K) channel openers with neuroprotective properties

A series of 3-aryloxindole derivatives were synthesized and evaluated as activators of the cloned maxi-K channel mSlo expressed in Xenopus laevis oocytes using electrophysiological methods. The most promising maxi-K openers to emerge from this study were

This invention provides methods and pharmaceutical compositions for maintaining bladder control or treating urinary incontinence in a mammal utilizing agonists of KCNQ potassium channels, including KCNQ2, KCNQ3, KCNQ4 and KCNQ5 potassium channels, alone or in combination. Compounds useful in these methods include the 1,2,4-triamino-benzene derivatives described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,384,330 (Dieter et al.) and the substituted 3-phenyl oxindole compounds described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,565,483 (Hewawasam et al.). Among the preferred compounds of this invention is N-[2-amino-4-(4-fluorobenzylamino)-phenyl]carbamic acid ethyl ester, also referred to as retigabine.
