JNJ-7925476 is a TRI antidepressant currently under development by Johnson & Johnson.[1]

These molecules were first prepared by Bruce E. Maryanoff, et al. during the late 1970s – 1980's.[2][3][4] and is known as a pyrroloisoquinoline, that is benzhydryl-containing.

Incorporating the pyrrolidino ring onto the THIQ scaffolding markedly improves potency, although this only works for one of the available diastereo/enantiomers. JNJ-7925476 is a racemic preparation of the more potent diastereomer. The eutomer, JNJ-39836966 has (6R,10bS)-stereochemistry whereas the distomer JNJ-39836732 will have (6S,10bR)-stereochemistry.

The compounds depicted appear to be cis but Maryanoff and coworkers are of the opinion that it is trans.[1] (see abstract)

The reason for this is not known because it was referred to as "cis" to begin with, only reassigning it later.

In-vitro characterization

Ki values (nM) for JNJ-7925476 and its constituent enantiomers (JNJ-39836966 and JNJ-39836732)
JNJ rSERT hSERT hDAT hNET
7925476 0.4 0.9 5.2 16.6
39836966 0.33 0.27 1.6 15.8
39836732 17.0 4.1 74.3 227

In vitro, JNJ-7925476 is ~18-fold selective for the hSERT (0.9 nM) over the hNET (16.6 nM).

Ex vivo transporter occupancy of JNJ-7925476 (in rat brain) followed the ordering priority: NET > SERT > DAT.

This is consistent with the results cited earlier for rat brains (see SAR table dated 1987).

However, there is relatively poor correlation between the in vitro data presented for rats brains vs what was reported at the human transporters.

μ-Dialysis

Elevations in extracellular DA in vivo was higher than expected on the basis of the in vitro transporter affinities.

The authors speculate that this could be because in the PFC where DATs are low in number, DA is predominantly transported via the NET.[5]

  • ~ 1 mg/kg of JNJ-7925476 caused concentrations of NE, 5-HT and DA to all be elevated by just under 500%, respectively.

Ex vivo occupancy of the DAT was much lower (<50%) at this dose though, whereas the NET and SERT were similar (~90%).

It took a much higher dose (c.f. 10 mg/kg) for the DAT occupancy to approach the same as the NET and SERT (i.e. saturation).

At saturation, the elevation in synaptic DA was extremely prolific (15 × baseline), whereas SER and NE was ≈ ½ this amount (i.e. 750%).

This is a collection of all of the analogs that had favorable biological activity or an interesting substitution pattern.

All compounds are racemic preparations with the exception that brackets are for pure (+) enantiomer.

Ring size structure activity relationships

Expanding the ring size from pyrrolidino to piperidinyl resulted in compounds that were impotent, although contracting the ring size from 5 → 4 did not have negative repercussions on the resultant potency.

Chemistry

The N-acyliminium cyclization route; and the mandelic acid and styrene oxide route were employed for most of the target compounds.

Pyrroloisoquinoline Synthesis

The SS/RR diastereomers as the principle products if one follows the above steps.[6][7]

It is possible to epimerize the product to the desired RS/SR diastereomers, but the equilibrium is only 50/50.

Hence, alternative synthetic methods needed to be sought to obtain the desired isomer/s in diastereochemical excess.

If instead of an "aryl" group, a tert-butyl or a cyclohexyl was used, then it was possible to alter the stereochemical discourse of the reaction.[8]

Stereoselective reaction

U.S. Patent 4,837,328

Hydrogenation of an appropriately positioned olefin might be expected to work.[9][10]

But the ketone cannot be reduced to an alcohol because it is part of an amide.
