AI Article Synopsis
- The study assessed how structural changes at the 8alpha-amino position of 8alpha-amino-6-methyl-ergoline affect its lipophilicity and binding affinity to the D2 receptor.
- Derivatives of the original compound were created to facilitate the formation of rhenium and technetium complexes, which showed varying binding affinities in comparison to the parent compound.
- Biodistribution experiments using Wistar rats indicated that these complexes had slow blood clearance, accumulating in the liver and kidneys, with minimal presence in the brain.
Article Abstract
The influence of structural changes at the 8alpha-amino position of 8alpha-amino-6-methyl-ergoline on the lipophilicity and affinity to the D2 receptor was studied. 8alpha-amino-6-methyl-ergoline (1) was converted into the derivatives (2a-f) by mercaptoacetylation of the amino group to make it possible to prepare the rhenium and technetium complexes (3, 4a,b). Binding tests on cloned human dopamine D2 receptors show that the affinities of the coordination compounds (IC50 values between 50 and 240 nM) are less than those of the derivatives 2a-f (IC50=3-50 nM) but more than those of the parent compound 1. Biodistribution studies of the Tc complexes 4a,b performed on Wistar rats show a slow blood clearance with substantial accumulation and retention in the liver and kidneys and low brain uptake.

The rising levels of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and the poor medical effects of the commercially available antidiabetic drugs necessitate the development of potent analogs to treat this multifactorial metabolic disorder. It has been demonstrated that targeting two or more biochemical targets associated with the onset and progression of diabetes along with oxidative stress and/or cancer could be a significant strategy for treating complications related to this metabolic disorder. The 3,5-dibromo-4,6-dimethoxychalcones (-) and the corresponding flavone derivatives (-) were synthesized and characterized using spectroscopic (NMR, HR-MS and FT-IR) techniques.

Dengue is an important arboviral infection worldwide for which presently there is no specific medicine. Evidence suggests there are four serotypes of dengue virus (DENV1-4), of which DENV 2 is considered to cause the most sever dengue. Therefore, this study was aimed to develop the new uridine derivatives (NUDs) against dengue virus (DENV 2).

In this article, novel thiazol-indolin-2-one derivatives 4a-f have been synthesized via treatment of thiosemicarbazide (1) with some isatin derivative 2a-f and N-(4-(2-bromoacetyl)phenyl)-4-tolyl-sulfonamide (3) under reflux in ethanol in the presence of triethyl amine (TEA). The structures of new products were elucidated by elemental and spectral analyses. Moreover, all compounds were investigated for their in vivo anti-inflammatory activity using celecoxib as a reference drug.
