Even today, the role of the histamine H2 receptor (H2R) in the central nervous system (CNS) is widely unknown. In previous research, many dimeric, high-affinity and subtype-selective carbamoylguanidine-type ligands such as UR-NK22 (5, pKi = 8.07) were reported as H2R agonists. However, their applicability to the study of the H2R in the CNS is compromised by their molecular and pharmacokinetic properties, such as high molecular weight and, consequently, a limited bioavailability. To address the need for more drug-like H2R agonists with high affinity, we synthesized a series of monomeric (thio)carbamoylguanidine-type ligands containing various spacers and side-chain moieties. This structural simplification resulted in potent (partial) agonists (guinea pig right atrium, [35S]GTPγS and β-arrestin2 recruitment assays) with human (h) H2R affinities in the one-digit nanomolar range (pKi (139, UR-KAT523): 8.35; pKi (157, UR-MB-69): 8.69). Most of the compounds presented here exhibited an excellent selectivity profile towards the hH2R, e.g. 157 being at least 3800-fold selective within the histamine receptor family. The structural similarities of our monomeric ligands to pramipexole (6), a dopamine receptor agonist, suggested an investigation of the binding behavior at those receptors. The target compounds were (partial) agonists with moderate affinity at the hD2longR and agonists with high affinity at the hD3R (e.g. pKi (139, UR-KAT523): 7.80; pKi (157, UR-MB-69): 8.06). In summary, we developed a series of novel, more drug-like H2R and D3R agonists for the application in recombinant systems in which either the H2R or the D3R is solely expressed. Furthermore, our ligands are promising lead compounds in the development of selective H2R agonists for future in vivo studies or experiments utilizing primary tissue to unravel the role and function of the H2R in the CNS.

An efficient method has been developed for the synthesis of seven-membered biaryl lactams involving Pd-catalyzed, native amine-directed, ortho-arylation of benzylamines followed by in situ lactamization. This cascade sequence is enabled by the use of 2-iodobenzoates, which facilitates C-H arylation from the free amine under conditions that typically require an improved directing group approach. This reaction is characterized by a broad substrate scope with good functional group tolerance. The need for an ester versus carboxylic acid-functionalized coupling partner is also explored, as is the potential for synthesizing eight-membered biaryl lactams. Various applications are also investigated, including access to the aza-brassinolide core.

The Rh(III)-catalyzed coupling of N-chloroimines with alkynes for the efficient synthesis of isoquinolines is reported. This represents the first use of the N-Cl bond of N-chloroimines as an internal oxidant for construction of the isoquinoline skeleton. The synthesis features atom and step economy, a green solvent (EtOH), mild reaction conditions, and a broad substrate scope.
