Abstract:
Anisodamine was isolated from the medicinal herb, it was used in the treatment of gastrointestinal smooth muscle spasm, infective toxic shock and organophosphorus intoxication. But there is no report about anisodamine with α-glucosidase inhibitory activity. In order to find novel α-glucosidase inhibitors, a series of α-substituted arylacetates derivatives have been synthesized based on the active unit of anisodamine. In α-glucosidase assay, compound 9 in Schiff base form and compound 22 in ester form show strong inhibition against α-glucosidase with IC50 value of 46.81μM and 83.76μM, respectively. Compounds 9 and 22 exhibit comparable good antidiabetic activities as commercial drug Glimepiride. In addition, Schiff bases of α-substituted arylacetates show antitumor activities against human cancer cell lines, where compound 9 with thiourea moiety performs the best antitumor activity. We anticipate that our research will provide potential candidate scaffolds for antidiabetic drug design.

Aromatic ring substitutions: Substituting the aromatic ring with –OH groups at positions 3 and 4 yields catecholamines (e.g., epinephrine), which have a high affinity for adrenoceptors. Hydrogen bonding between –OH groups and receptors enhances adrenergic activity.

Alkylation of terminal alkynes with primary alkyl halides in the presence of a strong base like sodium amide is one of the common methods for the synthesis of longer carbon-chain alkynes. For example, treatment of 1-propyne with sodium amide followed by reaction with ethyl bromide yields 2-pentyne.
