Abstract

Per-6-substituted- and A,C,E(F)-tri-6-substituted-6-deoxy-beta-cyclodextrin (beta-CD) libraries were generated using solution-phase combinatorial chemistry techniques starting from the corresponding iodo precursors and different combinations of individual amine nucleophiles. Using a high throughput electrospray mass spectrometry (ESMS) screen to monitor the hydrolysis of cocaine, certain libraries showed the ability to specifically hydrolyze the methyl ester of cocaine, with the most active per-6-substituted beta-CD library I producing complete hydrolysis in 24h. The cocaine hydrolytic activity in this series showed structure-activity relationships which appeared to involve specific interaction between the amine side chains and the cocaine molecule. Comparison of the composition of the most active per-6-substiuted beta-CD libraries and A,C,E(F)-tri-6-substituted-6-deoxy-beta-CD libraries (I and XV) showed three common side chains (3, 4, and 5), suggesting that active side chains in the tri-substituted beta-CD library might be predicted from evaluation of the more easily prepared per-6-substituted-6-deoxy-beta-CD series.

['Pharmacologic interventions in drug addiction': an advisory report from the Health Council of the Netherlands].

Addiction is a relapsing brain disease with a tendency towards chronicity. Biological, psychological and socio-cultural factors play a role in the onset and course of this disease. The Health Council of the Netherlands has issued a report on pharmacotherapeutic interventions. The treatment of addiction should be regarded as a medical intervention. A growing number of effective pharmacotherapies are becoming available for the treatment of heroin addiction, although not all of those are available in the Netherlands. Currently, no effective pharmacotherapies are available for the treatment of cocaine addiction. In polydrug addicts, pharmacotherapeutic interventions should be directed at the various separate addictions. In the majority of cases pharmacotherapy is part of an integrated treatment approach in which supportive psychosocial interventions are also important. The long-term continuation of treatment is usually indicated. The Health Council recommends that addiction physicians be put in charge of the multidisciplinary treatment. Medical schools should pay attention to the practical aspects of the treatment and management of addicts. The organisation and workforce of addiction treatment services should comply with the demands that are placed upon healthcare services. Public information campaigns about addiction and the treatment options for addicts can contribute to the destigmatisation of this patient category.

Serotonin and cocaine-sensitive inactivation of human serotonin transporters by methanethiosulfonates targeted to transmembrane domain I.

To explore aqueous accessibility and functional contributions of transmembrane domain (TM) 1 in human serotonin transporter (hSERT) proteins, we utilized the largely methanethiosulfonate (MTS) insensitive hSERT C109A mutant and mutated individual residues of hSERT TM1 to Cys followed by tests of MTS inactivation of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) transport. Residues in TM1 cytoplasmic to Gly-94 were largely unaffected by Cys substitution, whereas the mutation of residues extracellular to Ile-93 variably diminished transport activity. TM1 Cys substitutions displayed differential sensitivity to MTS reagents, with residues more cytoplasmic to Asp-98 being largely insensitive to MTS inactivation. Aminoethylmethanethiosulfonate (MTSEA), [2-(trimethylammonium) ethyl]methanethiosulfonate bromide (MTSET), and sodium (2-sulfonatoethyl)-methanethiosulfonate (MTSES) similarly and profoundly inactivated 5-HT transport by SERT mutants D98C, G100C, W103C, and Y107C. MTSEA uniquely inactivated transport activity of S91C, G94C, Y95C but increased activity at I108C. MTSEA and MTSET, but not MTSES, inactivated transport function at N101C. Notably, 5-HT provided partial to complete protection from MTSET inactivation for D98C, G100C, N101C, and Y107C. Equivalent blockade of MTSET inactivation at N101C was observed with 5-HT at both room temperature and at 4 degrees C, inconsistent with major conformational changes leading to protection. Notably, cocaine also protected MTSET inactivation of G100C and N101C, although MTS incubations with N101C that eliminate 5-HT transport do not preclude cocaine analog binding nor its inhibition by 5-HT. 5-HT modestly enhanced the inactivation by MTSET at I93C and Y95C, whereas cocaine significantly enhanced MTSET sensitivity at Y107C and I108C. In summary, our studies reveal physical differences in TM1 accessibility to externally applied MTS reagents and reveal sites supporting substrate and antagonist modulation of MTS inactivation. Moreover, we identify a limit to accessibility for membrane-impermeant MTS reagents that may reflect aspects of an occluded permeation pathway.
