Since beta-tryptase is considered a critical mediator of asthma, potent tryptase inhibitors may be useful as new agents for the treatment of asthma. We investigated 4-substituted benzylamine derivatives and obtained M58539 (15h) as a potent inhibitor of beta-tryptase (IC50 = 5.0 nM) with high selectivity against other serine proteases, low molecular weight, clog P value less than 5, lack of amidino and guanidino groups, and independence of Zn2+ ion.

Since several decades oximes have been used as part of treatment of nerve agent intoxication with the aim to restore the biological function of the enzyme acetylcholinesterase after its covalent inhibition by organophosphorus compounds such as pesticides and nerve agents. Recent findings have illustrated that, besides oximes, certain Mannich phenols can reactivate the inhibited enzyme very effectively, and may therefore represent an attractive complementary class of reactivators. In this paper we further probe the effect of structural variation on the in vitro efficacy of Mannich phenol based reactivators.

The various p-substituted benzenesulfonyl chlorides (2a-e) were treated with (3,4-methylenedioxy) benzylamine (1) in the presence of aqueous NaCO solution to synthesize N-(3,4-methylenedioxybenzyl)-4-substitutedbenzenesulfonamides (3a-e). The synthesized molecules were further converted into corresponding N-ethyl/benzyl/4-flourobenzyl-N-(3,4-methylenedioxybenzyl)-4-substitutedbenzenesulfonamides (7a-e, 8a-e, 9a-e) on reaction with ethyl iodide (4), benzyl chloride (5) and 4-flourobenzyl chloride (6) in the presence of sodium hydride using N,N-dimethylformamide as solvent. The structure elucidation was processed through different spectral techniques including IR, H-NMR and EIMS.

The extent of internal energy deposition upon ion formation by low temperature plasma and atmospheric pressure chemical ionization was investigated using novel benzylammonium thermometer ions. C-N heterolytic bond dissociation enthalpies of nine 4-substituted benzylammoniums were calculated using CAM-B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p), which was significantly more accurate than B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p), MP2/6-311++G(d,p), and CBS-QB3 for calculating the enthalpies of 20 heterolytic dissociation reactions that were used to benchmark theory. All 4-substituted benzylammonium thermometer ions fragmented by a single pathway with comparable dissociation entropies, except 4-nitrobenzylammonium.

As part of our studies focused on the design of 1-[((hetero)aryl- and piperidinylmethyl)amino]-2-phenyl-3-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)propan-2-ols as antifungal agents, we report the development of new extended benzylamine derivatives substituted at the para position by sulfonamide or retrosulfonamide groups linked to alkyl or aryl chains. These molecules have broad-spectrum antifungal activities not only against Candida spp., including fluconazole-resistant strains, but also against a filamentous species (A.
