Biological properties oximes

Ivermectin is the catalytic reduction product of avermectin, a macroHde containing a spiroketal ring system. Two other related antibiotics having significantly different stmctural features and biological properties, moxidectin and milbemycin oxime, were more recentiy introduced into the market. Although these compounds have no antimicrobial activity, they are sometimes referred to as antibiotics because they are derived from fermentation products and have very selective toxicities. They have potent activity against worms or helminths and certain ectoparasites such as mites and ticks.

This protocol could be extended to a range of different ,/i-unsaturated carbonyl compounds and either activated or deactivated aryl iodides [22], An application of related Heck chemistry to the synthesis of methylated resveratrol (3,4, 5-trihydroxy-( )-stilbene) is shown in Scheme 6.4 [23]. The phytoalexin resveratrol exhibits a variety of interesting biological and therapeutic properties, among them activity against several human cancer cell lines. Botella and Najera have shown that the trimethyl ether of resveratrol (Scheme 6.4) can be rapidly prepared by microwave-assisted Heck reaction of the appropriate aryl iodide and styrene derivatives, using the same oxime-derived palladacycle as indicated in Scheme 6.3. 

Oxime reactivators (R-CH N0H) are weak acids that partly Ionize at biologic pH. This property allows them to function as nucleophiles and displace organophosphate moieties from inhibited acetylcholinesterase. It also makes them vulnerable to decomposition by other mechanisms in the body. 

In this work it was reported that the biological activity and residual properties of biphenyl-3-ylmethyl (1R,S)-cis-3-(2,2-di-chlorovinyl)-2,2-dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylate were about one-half that of the corresponding 3-phenoxybenzyl ester. The preparation of a series of substituted derivatives of biphenyl-3-ylmethyl (1R,S)-cis-3-(2,2-dichlorovinyl)-2,2-dimethylcyclopropane-carboxylates resulted in esters with significantly greater insecticidal activity and broader spectrum of biological activity than the conventional pyrethroid insecticides(7). The 2-monosubstituted derivatives were found to be the most active compounds in this series with the 2-methyl compound being the most active. This result encouraged us to combine these biphenyl-3-ylmethyl compounds with alkyl aryl methanone oximes.
