Aim: To study the metabolites of penehyclidine hydrochloride (PH) raceme, a new anticholinerigic drug invented by the Institute of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Academy of Military Medical Sciences.
Methods: Three healthy rat urine samples were collected within 24 h after a single i.m. dose of PH raceme and PH-d5 [(5 + 5) mg.kg-1] simultaneously. The eight metabolites of PH raceme were identified by the methods of LC-MS/MS, GC-MS, FAB-MS and the stable isotope ion cluster. Mass spectrometry was operated in the positive mode for the method of LC-MS/MS.
Results: M1 and M1* were identified as the oxygenated products of PH in the cyclopentyl group; M2 and M2* were as the hydroxylated products of PH in the cyclopentyl group; M3 and M3* were as the oxygented and hydroxylated products of PH at the meta-position of cyclopentyl group; M4 and M4* were identified as the dihydroxylated metabolites of PH, the hydroxylated position were at the cyclopentyl group and quiniuclidinol ring of PH. Among them, M1 and M1*, M2 and M2*, M3 and M3*, M4 and M4* were the isomers of each other.
Conclusion: These characteristics can be used for future structure elucidation in studies of the metabolites of PH optical isomers. The structure data of PH metabolites provide important information for the clinical use and for developing better anticholinerigic drug.

Rigidified nucleoside derivatives with (N)-methanocarba replacement of ribose have been repurposed as peripheral subtype-selective 5-HT serotonin receptor antagonists for heart and lung fibrosis and intestinal/vascular conditions. 4'-Cyano derivative (MRS8209; , 4.27 nM) was 47-fold (human binding, but not rat and mouse) and 724-fold (functionally) selective at 5-HTR, compared to antitarget 5-HTR, and predicted to form a stable receptor complex using docking and molecular dynamics.

We present a detailed investigation of the coordination chemistry toward [Cu/Cu]copper of a series of HDEDPA derivatives (HDEDPA = 6,6'-((ethane-1,2-diylbis(azanediyl))bis(methylene))dipicolinic acid) containing cyclohexyl (HCHXDEDPA), cyclopentyl (HCpDEDPA) or cyclobutyl (HCBuDEDPA) spacers. Furthermore, we also developed a strategy that allowed the synthesis of a HCBuDEDPA analogue containing an additional NHBoc group at the cyclobutyl ring, which can be used for conjugation to targeting units. The X-ray structures of the Cu(II) complexes evidence distorted octahedral coordination around the metal ion in all cases.

Fully substituted divinyl ketones (fsDVKs) have long been regarded as resistant to Nazarov cyclization (NC) unless they contain strategically positioned electronically activating substituents. Here, however, we show that fsDVKs bearing only electronically neutral alkyl or aryl groups actually undergo facile NC due to steric crowding in the pentadienyl cation intermediate, which raises its energy and reduces the barrier height to cyclization. Strongly ionizing and suitably bulky acid moieties further increase the energy of this intermediate cation, favoring cyclization.

1,1-Di(alkoxycarbonyl)-4-cyclopentyl-2-azabuta-1,3-dienes react with DBU to form two types of heterocyclic products: 1-cyclopenta[]pyrid-1-ones and 3-hydroxy-1-pyrroles. These previously unobserved transformations proceed through the formation of 1-azapentadienyl anion which undergoes 1,6-shift of the alkoxycarbonyl group to the cyclopentyl moiety followed by 1,6-cyclization to form the cyclopentapyridone (path ) and 1,5-cyclization accompanied by 1,3-shift of the methoxy group followed by dialkyl carbonate elimination to afford the hydroxypyrrole (path ). The mechanisms of the reactions were studied using DFT calculations.

Aim: We aimed to explore whether the combination of CLP290 and bumetanide maximally improves neuropathic pain following spinal cord injury (SCI) and its possible molecular mechanism.
Methods: Rats were randomly divided into five groups: Sham, SCI + vehicle, SCI + CLP290, SCI + bumetanide, and SCI + combination (CLP290 + bumetanide). Drug administration commenced on the 7th day post-injury (7 dpi) and continued for 14 days.
