The potency and physical properties of a previously reported 7-oxo-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-c]pyridine series of human eosinophil phosphodiesterase inhibitors were improved by tying the lactam moiety into a triazolo ring. The resulting
A series of 2,3-disubstituted pyridines were synthesized as potential non-emetic PDE4 inhibitors. To decrease brain exposure and minimize emesis, we modified the lipophilic moiety of a series of emetic PDE4 inhibitors and found that introduction of a hydroxy group into the pyridine moiety of the
A series of (fluorobenzyl)triazolo[4,5-c]pyridines was synthesized and tested for activity against maximal electroshock-induced seizures in rodents. The most promising compound, 14 (BW 534U87), which is a carbon-nitrogen isoster of a purine anticonvulsant, has a profile in rodents that suggests 14
Metoclopramide (1) is a gastric motility stimulant and a weak dopamine and 5-HT3 receptor antagonist. Conformational restriction of the (diethylamino)ethyl side chain of 1 in the form of the azabicyclic tropane gave 3, a very potent gastric motility stimulant and 5-HT3 receptor antagonist but devoid
The pharmacological properties of AD-5423 [2-(4-ethyl-1-piper-azinyl)-4- (4-fluorophenyl)-5,6,7,8,9,10-hexahydrocycloocta[b]pyridine] were studied in biochemical and behavioral tests. In vitro, AD-5423 bound preferentially to dopamine (DA)-D2 (Ki, 14.8 nM; cf. haloperidol, 8.79 nM; and clozapine,
Pyrazine diazohydroxide (NSC-361456) was identified as an active congener of pyridine 2-diazohydroxide with enhanced stability under physiologic conditions. In this phase I study, 35 patients with advanced cancer received 62 courses of PZDH administered intravenously every 3 weeks at doses ranging
We prepared a novel series of conformationally restricted fused imidazole derivatives 4b, 4c and 4d (possessing 4,5,6,7-tetrahydroimidazo[4,5-c] pyridine and substituted 4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1H-benzimidazole for 4b, 5,6,7,8-tetrahydroimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine for 4c and
Neuronal acetylcholine nicotinic receptors (nAChRs) are targets for the development of novel treatments of brain diseases. However, adverse effects (for example, emesis or nausea) associated with high drug maximal exposures or C(max) at nAChRs often hinder the advancement of experimental compounds
A total of 14 patients, 7 male and 7 female, received in all 21 evaluable courses of cyclophosphamide administered by 5-day continuous infusion. Cyclophosphamide doses were escalated from 300 to 400 mg/m2 per day for 5 days and repeated every 21-28 days. The patient population had a median age of 55
Pyridoxine-dependent seizure is a rare autosomal recessive disorder that usually presents with neonatal intractable seizures. This syndrome results from an inborn abnormality of the enzyme glutamic acid decarboxylase, which results in reduced pyridazine-dependent synthesis of the inhibitory
We present two cases of rare human poisoning in one family following ingestion of cooked leaves from the tobacco tree plant, Nicotiana glauca. The toxic principle of N. glauca, anabasine (C10H14N2), is a small pyridine alkaloid, similar in both structure and effects to nicotine, but appears to be
3,5-Dichloro-2,4-dimethoxy-6-(trichloromethyl)pyridine (penclomedine, NSC 338720, CRC 88-04) is an alpha-picoline derivative with anti-tumour activity in preclinical models. Penclomedine administration by 1-h intravenous infusion on 5 consecutive days was repeated 3 weekly in the absence of
The sodium salt of pyrazine-2-diazohydroxide (PZDH; NSC 361456) was identified as an active congener of the antitumor lead pyridine-2-diazotate with enhanced chemical stability under physiological conditions. In a phase I trial of PZDH administered as a single i.v. bolus injection, 19 patients with
CHF6001 [(S)-3,5-dichloro-4-(2-(3-(cyclopropylmethoxy)-4-(difluoromethoxy)phenyl)-2-(3-(cyclopropylmethoxy)-4-(methylsulfonamido)benzoyloxy)ethyl)pyridine 1-oxide] is a novel phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4) inhibitor designed for use in pulmonary diseases by inhaled administration. Intratracheal
