    In accordance with the title of my lecture, I am going to briefly illustrate our researches on pyridazine derivatives active in different biological areas

    Non peptidic ligands at the opioid receptor like-1 (ORL-1)

    No full text
    Opioid receptor like-1 (ORL-1) has recently been indicated as a potentially useful target for the treatment of a number of central disorders and several other diseases. This review deals with non peptidic ligands at the ORL-1 receptor, focusing on their structural and binding properties. Agonism or antagonism evidenced from functional experiments is also commented. For some compounds, possible therapeutic applications are considered

    Synthesis of a new series of N-substituted-3(1-alkyl/aryl-4-piperidyl)azetidin-2-ones as possible muscarinic agents

    A new series of N-substituted-3-[1-alkyl(aryl)-4-piperidyl]azetidin-2- ones 2a-j structurally related to the previously reported 2,7- diazaspiro[3,5]nonan-1-ones 1 have been synthesized and tested for their activity as muscarinic agents, both in vitro and in vivo. Preliminary pharmacological results showed that compounds 2 are devoid of significant cholinergic properties

    Synthesis and pharmacological evaluation of a new class of 2-oxo-8-azaspiro(4,5)decan-1-ones as analogues of the muscarinic agonist RS-86

    A new series of 8-substituted-2-oxo-8-azapsiro (4,5)decan-1-ones has been synthesized and compounds tested for their cholinergic properties in comparison with the muscarinic agonist RS-86. Preliminary in vitro and in vivo pharmacological data indicate that none of them is provided with significant cholinergic effects either at central or peripheral level. A possible explanation for the lack of activity is given on the basis of conformational studies

    Conformationally constrained congeners of 6-aryl-5-methyl-4,5-dihydro-3(2H)-pyridazinones active on the cardiovascular system: conformational studies by molecular mechanics calculations and proton NMR spectroscopy

    Unsubstituted phenylpyridazinones 1a and 2a and their tricyclic analogues indenopyridazinone 3a, benzocinnolinone 4a, and benzocycloheptapyridazinone 5a were submitted to conformational analysis with Allinger's MM2(85) program in order to better define the relationship between the cardiovascular properties of some derivatives and their preferred conformations. Structures 1-4, giving rise to highly active compounds, were found to exist in a conformation showing a near-planar arrangement of the phenyl and the pyridazinone ring. On the contrary, 5, whose derivatives were inactive, shows two significantly populated conformations both markedly deviated from planarity. 1H NMR analysis of the tricyclic systems 3-5 was in full agreement with the molecular mechanics calculations
