Tolperisone (2-methyl-1-(4-methylphenyl)-3-piperidin-1-ylpropan-1-one hydro-chloride) was introduced in the clinical practice more than forty years ago and is still evaluated as a widely applicable compound in pathologically elevated skeletal muscle tone (spasticity) and related pains of different origin. In the present review, basic pharmacodynamic effects measured on whole animals, analyses o...

Ir complexes of chiral phosphine-diamine ligands catalyse the hydrogenation and transfer hydrogenation of aryl-piperidin-4-yl methanones, and ketones bearing both an aryl group and secondary alkyl substituent with up to 98% e.e., and with substrate to catalyst ratios of up to 4000.

We describe in this study the asymmetric synthesis of radioisotope (RI)-labeled selective glucocorticoid receptor modulator. This synthesis is based on optimization of the cinchona alkaloid catalyzed addition of 6-bromoindole to ethyl trifluoropyruvate and Negishi coupling of zinc cyanide to the 6-bromoindole moiety. [¹⁴C] Labeled (-)-{4-[(1-{2-[6-cyano-1-(cyclohexylmethyl)-1H-indol-3-yl]-3,3,3...

Diarylpyrazoles are a group of 1,5-diphenylpyrazole analogs of which several have been found to exhibit antagonist properties toward the cannabinoid receptors. SR141716A [N-(piperidin-1-yl)-5-(4-chlorophenyl)-1-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-4-methyl-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxamide], the first reported antagonist, is a highly potent and selective CB1 receptor ligand that prevents or reverses CB1-mediated effec...

In the title compound, C30H27ClN4O, the central pyrrolidine ring adopts an envelope conformation with the methyl-ene C atom being the flap. The quinoxaline and indane rings are each essentially planar, with r.m.s. deviations of 0.027 (1) and 0.0417 (1) Å, respectively. The pyrrolidine ring forms dihedral angles of 88.25 (1) and 83.76 (1)° with the quinoxaline and indane rings, respectively. A w...

During the synthesis of the bulk drug Raloxifene hydrochloride, eight impurities were observed, four of which were found to be new. All of the impurities were detected using the gradient high performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method, whose area percentages ranged from 0.05 to 0.1%. LCMS was performed to identify the mass number of these impurities, and a systematic study was carried out...

The title compound, C(42)H(72)N(2)O(5), a hindered amine light stabiliser (HALS) with the trade name Tinuvin 144 was prepared from bis-(1,2,2,6,6-penta-methyl-piperidin-4-yl) 2-butyl-malonate and 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-[(dimethyl-amino)meth-yl]phenol using lithium amide as a catalyst. In the mol-ecule, both piperidine rings adopt chair conformations. In the crystal, inversion dimers linked by pair...
