    Abstract: A method is provided to label dopamine D2 receptors at striatum and areas outside of striatum. A radiosynthesized ligand of iodine(I)-123-Epidepride is used. The I-123-Epidepride can be strongly bonded to the D2 receptor and has a rare characteristic of non-specificity. Hence, it is suitable for developing a tracer for areas outside of striatum, where D2 receptor densities are low. Besides, I-123-Epidepride can be passed through blood brain barrier and has a high affinity to an animal's brain, so it can be used to develop medicines for diagnosing schizophrenia.

  • Publication number: 20100324046
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel class of 4-carboxybenzylamino derivatives. The 4-carboxybenzylamino compounds can be used to treat cancer. The 4-carboxybenzylamino compounds can also inhibit histone deacetylase and are suitable for use in selectively inducing terminal differentiation, and arresting cell growth and/or apoptosis of neoplastic cells, thereby inhibiting proliferation of such cells. Thus, the compounds of the present invention are useful in treating a patient having a tumor characterized by proliferation of neoplastic cells. The compounds of the invention may also be useful in the prevention and treatment of TRX-mediated diseases, such as autoimmune, allergic and inflammatory diseases, and in the prevention and/or treatment of diseases of the central nervous system (CNS), such as neurodegenerative diseases.

  • Publication number: 20100056805
    Abstract: An industrially advantageous process for the production of (3R,4S)-3-cyclopropylaminomethyl-4-fluoropyrrolidine or an enantiomer thereof that is useful as an intermediate for the production of novel antimicrobial agents 10-(3-cyclopropylaminomethyl-4-fluoropyrrolidinyl)pyridobenzoxazine carboxylic acid derivatives. Highly stereoselective asymmetric hydrogenation of 1-protected-4-alkoxycarbonyl-3-oxopyrrolidine, followed by ester hydrolysis, followed by amidation with cyclopropylamine gives crude crystals. The crude crystals are purified by recrystallization to give a novel compound (3R,4S)-1-protected-3-cyclopropylcarbamoyl-4-hydroxypyrrolidine or an enantiomer thereof at high optical purity. The use of these intermediates enables industrial production of high-quality products of (3R,4S)-3-cyclopropylaminomethyl-4-fluoropyrrolidine or an enantiomer thereof. The process is highly simple and can produce the desired products at high purity and stable yields.
