A series of N-methylbenzamide analogues (2-18) that is structurally derived from SR 48,968, a potent neurokinin-2 (NK(2)) receptor antagonist (pK(b)9.1), has been obtained using asymmetric synthesis. Isothiocyanato-N-methylbenzamide (10-12) and bromoacetamido-N-methylbenzamide derivatives (16-18) have been designed to serve as potential electrophilic affinity labels. Nitro-N-methylbenzamide (4-6) and acetamido-N-methylbenzamide (13-15) were designed to serve as the nonelectrophilic controls for these ligands. Functional assay results using guinea pig trachea indicate that electrophilic N-methylbenzamide analogues exhibit potent but surmountable NK(2) receptor antagonist activity. Several members of this series (2, 3, 7-9) exhibit potent NK(2) receptor antagonist potencies with pK(b) values in the range of 9.1-9.7. para-Fluoro substituted analogue 3 was found to be highly potent with a pK(b) of 9.7.

Chemical screening efforts recently found that 3-phenoxybenzaldehyde, a breakdown product of alpha-cyano pyrethroids, was a potent spatial repellent against mosquitoes in a glass tube repellency assay. In order to characterize this molecule further and identify structure-activity relationships, a set of 12 benzaldehyde analogues were screened for their repellency and toxicity in vapor phase exposures at 100 μg/cm. Dose-response analyses were performed for the most active compounds in order to better characterize their repellent potency and toxicity compared to those of other commercially available toxicants.

The recreational use of opioid drugs is a global threat to public health and safety. In particular, an epidemic of opioid overdose fatalities is being driven by illicitly manufactured fentanyl, while novel synthetic opioids (NSOs) are appearing on recreational drug markets as standalone products, adulterants in heroin, or ingredients in counterfeit drug preparations. -3,4-dichloro--[2-(dimethylamino)cyclohexyl]--methylbenzamide (U-47700) is a prime example of a non-fentanyl NSO that is associated with numerous intoxications and fatalities.

New psychoactive substances have been rapidly growing in popularity in the drug market as non-illegal drugs. In the last few years, an increment has been reported on the use of synthetic alternatives to heroin, the synthetic opioids. Based on the information provided by the European Monitoring Centre for Drug and Drug Addiction, these synthetic opioids have been related to overdoses and deaths in Europe and North America.

Following series of synthetic cannabinoid and synthetic cathinone derivatives, the illicit drug market has begun to see increased incidence of synthetic opioids including fentanyl and its derivatives, and other chemically unrelated opioid agonists including AH-7921 and MT-45. Among the most frequently encountered compounds in postmortem casework have been furanyl fentanyl (N-(1-(2-phenylethyl)-4-piperidinyl)-N-phenylfuran-2-carboxamide, Fu-F) and U-47700 (trans-3,4-dichloro-N-(2-(dimethylamino)cyclohexyl)-N-methylbenzamide). Both drugs have been reported to be present in the heroin supply and to be gaining popularity among recreational opioid users, but were initially developed by pharmaceutical companies in the 1970s as candidates for development as potential analgesic therapeutic agents.

In the present study, a series of benzamides, endowed with potent dopamine D2, serotonin 5-HT1A and 5-HT2A receptors properties, was synthesized and evaluated as potential antipsychotics. Among them, 3-(4-(4-(6-fluorobenzo[d]isoxazol-3-yl)-piperidin-1-yl)butoxy)-N-methylbenzamide (21) and its fluoro-substituted analogue (22) held the best pharmacological binding profiles. They not only presented potent activities for D2, 5-HT1A, and 5-HT2A receptors, but were also endowed with low activities for 5-HT2C, H1 receptors and hERG channels, suggesting a low propensity of inducing weight gain and QT prolongation.
