Benefits of technology

[0161]As used herein, and unless otherwise specified, a “therapeutically effective amount” of a compound is an amount sufficient to provide a therapeutic benefit in the treatment of a disease, disorder or condition, or to delay or minimize one or more symptoms associated with the disease, disorder or condition. A therapeutically effective amount of a compound means an amount of therapeutic agent, alone or in combination with other therapies, which provides a therapeutic benefit in the treatment of the disease, disorder or condition. The term “therapeutically effective amount” can encompass an amount that improves overall therapy, reduces or avoids symptoms or causes of disease or condition, or enhances the therapeutic efficacy of another therapeutic agent.

Problems solved by technology

However, progesterone is not consistently effective in the treatment of the aforementioned syndromes.

[0303]

[0304]To a suspension of A1 (170 mg, 0.4 mmol) in acetonitrile (3.5 mL) was added potassium carbonate (340 mg, 2.4 mmol) and morpholine (340 mg, 3.9 mmol) at 10° C. The mixture was stirred at 30° C. for 5 hours and then concentrated under vacuum, washed with water, purified by column chromatography on silica gel (eluent: petrol ether:ethyl acetate=2:1 to 1:2) to give 1 (94.1 mg, 55%) as white solid.

[0307]To a suspension of A1 (260 mg, 0.61 mmol) in acetonitrile (5 mL) was added potassium carbonate (500 mg, 3.6 mmol) and 1,2,3-triazole (500 mg, 7.2 mmol) at 10° C. The mixture was stirred at 30° C. for 5 hours and then concentrated under vacuum. To the residue was added washed, extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, purified by prep-HPLC to give 2 (38.1 mg, 15%) and 3 (71.5 mg, 28%) as white solid. 1H NMR (2): (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.68 (s, 2H), 5.32-5.15 (m, 2H), 4.01-3.91 (m, 1H), 3.41-3.29 (m, 4H), 2.62-2.50 (m, 1H), 2.28-2.14 (m, 1H), 2.13-2.04 (m, 1H), 1.95-1.88 (m, 1H), 1.88-1.62 (m, 5H), 1.56-1.19 (m, 11H), 1.02-0.95 (m, 1H), 0.93 (s, 3H), 0.81-0.72 (m, 1H), 0.69 (s, 3H).

Step 1. Synthesis of A3

[0310]To a solution of Ph3PCH2CH2Br (60.41 g, 163.16 mmol) in THF (40 mL) was added a solution of t-BuOK (18.31 g, 163.16 mmol) in THF (20 mL) under N2 atmosphere. The mixture was stirred at 15° C. for 1 h. Then the solution of A2 (10 g, 32.63 mmol) in THF (40 mL) was added and the mixture was stirred under reflux for 3 h. TLC (ethyl acetate / petroleum ether=l / l) showed that the starting material was consumed completely. The mixture was cooled and quenched with saturate NH4Cl aqueous (40 mL). The mixture was extracted with EtOAc (60 mL*3). The combined organic layers was washed with brine (50 mL), dried over anhydrous Na2SO4 and evaporated in vacuo to give crude, which was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (ethyl acetate / petroleum ether=1 / 10) to afford A3 (6.8 g, 65%) as a white solid.

[0311]1H NMR (A3): (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 5.11-5.02 (m, 1H), 4.39-4.35 (m, 1H), 4.07-4.02 (m, 1H), 2.41-2.32 (m, 2H), 2.21-2.09 (m, 2H), 1.91-1.71 (m, 4H...

Description

RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is a continuation of U.S. Ser. No. 15 / 519,480 filed Apr. 14, 2017, which is a U.S. National Stage Application filed under 35 U.S.C. § 371 of International Patent Application No. PCT / US2015 / 056054, filed Oct. 16, 2015, which claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 62 / 064,961, filed Oct. 16, 2014, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Brain excitability is defined as the level of arousal of an animal, a continuum that ranges from coma to convulsions, and is regulated by various neurotransmitters. In general, neurotransmitters are responsible for regulating the conductance of ions across neuronal membranes. At rest, the neuronal membrane possesses a potential (or membrane voltage) of approximately −70 mV, the cell interior being negative with respect to the cell exterior. The potential (voltage) is the result of ion (K+, Na+, Cl−, organic anions) balance across the neuron...
