Syntheses and anticholinesterase activities of (3aS)-N1, N8-bisnorphenserine, (3aS)-N1,N8-bisnorphysostigmine, their antipodal isomers, and other potential metabolites of phenserine.
    Journal of medicinal chemistry, 1998, Jun-18, Volume: 41, Issue:13

    Hydrolysis of the carbamate side chains in phenserine [(-)1] and physostigmine [(-)2] yields the metabolite (-)-eseroline (3), and the red dye rubreserine (4) on air oxidation of the former compound. Both compounds lacked anticholinesterase activity in concentrations up to 30 mM, which would be unachievable in vivo. A second group of potential metabolites of 1 and 2 are the N1,N8-bisnorcarbamates (-)9 and (-)10, prepared from (3aS)-N8-benzylnoresermethole (-)12 by the carbinolamine route. These entirely novel compounds proved to be highly potent inhibitors of acetylcholinesterase [(-)9] and of acetyl- and butyrylcholinesterase (AChE and BChE) [(-)10], respectively. To elucidate further the structure/anticholinesterase activity relationship of the described compounds, the antipodal isomers (3aR)-N1,N8-bisnorcarbamates (+)9 and (+)10 were likewise synthesized from (3aR)-N8-benzylnoresermethole (+)12 and assessed. The compounds possessed moderate but less potent anticholinesterase activity, with the same selectivity as their 3aS enantiomers. Finally, the anticholinesterase activities of intermediates N1, N8-bisnorbenzylcarbamates (-)18, (-) 19, (+)18, and (+)19, also novel compounds, were additionally measured. The 3aS enantiomers proved to be potent and selective inhibitors of BChE, particularly (-)19, whereas the antipodal isomers lacked activity.

Comparison of (-)-eseroline with (+)-eseroline and dihydroseco analogues in antinociceptive assays: confirmation of rubreserine structure by X-ray analysis.
    Journal of medicinal chemistry, 1986, Volume: 29, Issue:11

    The enantiomers of eseroline bind to opiate receptors of rat brain membranes with equal affinities and show opiate agonist properties as inhibitors of adenylate cyclase in vitro. However, only (-)-eseroline shows potent narcotic agonist activity in vivo, similar to that of morphine. Neither (-)-noreseroline, (+)-eseroline, nor the open dihydroseco analogue (-)-8 shows analgetic effects in vivo. The structure of rubreserine being a resonance hybrid of an o-quinone with its zwitterionic mesomer is confirmed by solid-state X-ray diffraction analysis.
