133 results about "Cholinergic" patented technology

Cholinergic agents are compounds which mimic the action of acetylcholine and/or butyrylcholine. In general, the word choline refers to the various quaternary ammonium salts containing the N,N,N-trimethylethanolammonium cation. Found in most animal tissues, choline is a primary component of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine and functions with inositol as a basic constituent of lecithin. Choline also prevents fat deposits in the liver and facilitates the movement of fats into cells. The richest nutritional sources of choline are liver, kidney, brain, wheat germ, brewer's yeast, and egg yolk. Neurologically, cholinergic is the abbreviated term referring to choline (the suffix -ergic means stimulating). The parasympathetic nervous system, which uses acetylcholine almost exclusively to send its messages, is said to be almost entirely cholinergic. Neuromuscular junctions, preganglionic neurons of the sympathetic nervous system, the basal forebrain, and brain stem complexes are also cholinergic. In addition, the receptor for the merocrine sweat glands are also cholinergic, since acetylcholine is released from postganglionic sympathetic neurons.

Cholinergic enhancers with improved blood-brain barrier permeability for the treatment of diseases accompanied by cognitive impairment

The present invention refers to compounds that, in addition to enhancing the sensitivity to acetylcholine and choline, and their exogenous agonists, of neuronal cholinergic receptors and / or acting as cholinesterase inhibitors and / or neuroprotective agents, have enhanced blood-brain barrier permeability in comparison to their parent compounds. The compounds are derived (either formally by their chemical structure or directly by chemical synthesis) from natural compounds belonging to the class of amaryllidaceae alkaloids e.g., galantamine, narwedine and lycoramine, or from metabolites of said compounds. The compounds of the present invention can either interact as such with their target molecules, or they can act as “pro-drugs”, in the sense that after reaching their target regions in the body they are converted by hydrolysis or enzymatic attack to the original parent compound and react as such with their target molecules, or both. The compounds of this invention may be used as medicaments.

Preparation method and application of glycopyrronium bromide chiral antipode

The invention belongs to the technical field of medicine, and discloses a preparation method of (3S,2'S), (3S,2'R), (3R,2'R) and (3R,2'S) four type chiral monomers of muscarine receptor antagonist racemic medicine glycopyrronium bromide. The method comprises the following steps: resolving racemic alpha-cyclopentylmandelic acid by a chemical resolution method by using L-Tyrosine methyl ester and (R)-alpha-phenylethylamine as resolution reagents to respectively prepare (S)-alpha-cyclopentylmandelic acid and (R)-alpha-cyclopentylmandelic acid; and carrying out esterification reaction to respectively obtain chiral intermediates (S) / (R)-alpha-cyclopentylmethyl mandelate. L / D-malic acid used as the raw material is subjected to four reaction steps, including condensation, carbonyl reduction, catalytic hydrogenation or transfer hydrogenation reduction debenzylation, and reduction alkylation or alkylogen alkylation, in a chiral synthesis mode to obtain another important chiral intermediate (S) / (R)-N-methyl-3-hydroxypyrrolidine. The chiral intermediate is subjected to ester exchange and quaterisation to respectively obtain the four (3S,2'S), (3S,2'R), (3R,2'R) and (3R,2'S) type glycopyrronium bromide chiral monomers. The result indicates that the (3R,2'S)-glycopyrronium bromide has the strongest cholinergic antagonistic action.
