piperidines and 3-methylpiperidine

The FT-IR and FT-Raman spectra of 4-Aminomethylpiperidine have been recorded using Perkin Elmer Spectrophotometer and Nexus 670 spectrophotometer. The equilibrium geometrical parameters, various bonding features, the vibrational wavenumbers, the infrared intensities and the Raman scattering activities were calculated using Hartree-Fock and density functional method (B3LYP) with 6-311+G(d,p) basis set. Detailed interpretations of the vibrational spectra have been carried out with the aid of the normal coordinate analysis. The spectroscopic and natural bonds orbital (NBO) analysis confirms the occurrence of intra molecular hydrogen bonds, electron delocalization and steric effects. The changes in electron density in the global minimum and in the energy of hyperconjugative interactions of 4-Aminomethylpiperidine (4AMP) were calculated. The theoretical UV-Visible spectrum of the compound was computed in the region 200-400nm by time-dependent TD-DFT approach. The calculated HOMO and LUMO energies show that charge transfer occur within the molecule. The dipole moment (μ) and polarizability (α), anisotropy polarizability (Δα) and hyperpolarizability (β) of the molecule have been reported.

Positive allosteric modulators of the ionotropic glutamate receptor A2 (GluA2) can serve as lead compounds for the development of cognitive enhancers. Several benzamide-type (S)-2-amino-3-(3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolyl)propionic acid (AMPA) receptor modulators such as aniracetam, CX516 and CX614 have been shown to inhibit the deactivation of AMPA receptors with a less pronounced effect on desensitization. Despite CX516 being an extensively investigated AMPA receptor modulator and one of the few clinically evaluated compounds, the binding mode of CX516 to AMPA receptors has not been reported. Here, the structures of a GluA2 ligand-binding domain mutant in complex with CX516 and the 3-methylpiperidine analogue of CX516 (Me-CX516) are reported. The structures show that the binding modes of CX516 and Me-CX516 are similar to those of aniracetam and CX614 and that there is limited space for substitution at the piperidine ring of CX516. The results therefore support that CX516, like aniracetam and CX614, modulates deactivation of AMPA receptors.

The experimental and theoretical vibrational spectra of 2 and 3-methylpiperidine (abbreviated as 2-MP and 3-MP) were studied. The FT-Infrared spectra of 2-MP and 3-MP molecules were recorded in the liquid phase. The structural and spectroscopic analysis of the title molecules were made by using density functional harmonic calculations. For the title molecules, only one form was found most stable structure by using B3LYP level with the 6-311G (d,p) basis set. Selected experimental bands were assigned and characterized based on the scaled theoretical wave numbers by their total energy distribution (TED).
