Histamine H1 and serotonin 5-HT2A receptors present in the CNS have been implicated in various neuropsychiatric disorders. 9-Aminomethyl-9,10-dihydroanthracene (AMDA), a conformationally constrained diarylalkyl amine derivative, has affinity for both of these receptors. A structure-affinity relationship (SAFIR) study was carried out studying the effects of N-methylation, varying the linker chain length and constraint of the aromatic rings on the binding affinities of the compounds with the 5-HT2A and H1 receptors. Homology modeling of the 5-HT2A and H1 receptors suggests that AMDA and its analogs, the parent of which is a 5-HT2A antagonist, can bind in a fashion analogous to that of classical H1 antagonists whose ring systems are oriented toward the fifth and sixth transmembrane helices. The modeled orientation of the ligands are consistent with the reported site-directed mutagenesis data for 5-HT2A and H1 receptors and provide a potential explanation for the selectivity of ligands acting at both receptors.
An Iodine-Catalyzed Hofmann-L?ffler Reaction

Iodine reagents have been identified as economically and ecologically benign alternatives to transition metals, although their application as molecular catalysts in challenging C-H oxidation reactions has remained elusive. An attractive iodine oxidation catalysis is now shown to promote the convenient conversion of carbon-hydrogen bonds into carbon-nitrogen bonds with unprecedented complete selectivity. The reaction proceeds by two interlocked catalytic cycles comprising a radical chain reaction, which is initiated by visible light as energy source. This unorthodox synthetic strategy for the direct oxidative amination of alkyl groups has no biosynthetic precedence and provides an efficient and straightforward access to a general class of saturated nitrogenated heterocycles.

1,5-Disubstituted and 5-monosubstituted aminomethyltetrazole derivatives derived from glycine were synthesized employing a TMSN3-modified variant of the Ugi reaction as a key step. All compounds were evaluated regarding their inhibitory potency and subtype selectivity at the four murine GABA transporter subtypes mGAT1-mGAT4. Though none of the 5-monosubstituted tetrazoles turned out to inhibit [3H]GABA uptake to a significant extent, the 1,5-disubstituted tetrazole derivatives displayed a distinct activity, especially at the GABA transport proteins mGAT2-mGAT4. Thus, a reasonable potent and selective inhibitor of mGAT3 was found. Additionally, two more compounds were identified as potent inhibitors of mGAT2. This is especially relevant, as up to date only few potent inhibitors of mGAT2 that do not affect mGAT1 are known.
