The pharmacological effects of Salvia species on the central nervous system
Mohsen Imanshahidi, Hossein Hosseinzadeh
Phytotherapy Research
Volume 20, Issue 6, pages 427–437, June 2006
DOI: 10.1002/ptr.1898

abstract:
Salvia is an important genus consisting of about 900 species in the family Lamiaceae. Some species of Salvia have been cultivated world wide for use in folk medicine and for culinary purposes. The dried root of Salvia miltiorrhiza, for example, has been used extensively for the treatment of coronary and cerebrovascular disease, sleep disorders, hepatitis, hepatocirrhosis, chronic renal failure, dysmenorrhea, amenorrhea, carbuncles and ulcers. S. officinalis, S. leriifolia, S. haematodes, S. triloba and S. divinorum are other species with important pharmacological effects. In this review, the pharmacological effects of Salvia species on the central nervous system will be reviewed. These include sedative and hypnotic, hallucinogenic, skeletal muscle relaxant, analgesic, memory enhancing, anticonvulsant, neuroprotective and antiparkinsonian activity, as well as the inhibition of ethanol and morphine withdrawal.

THE INFLUENCE OF dl-, d-, AND l-AMPHETAMINE AND d-METHAMPHETAMINE ON A FIXED-RATIO SCHEDULE
John E. Owen Jr.
J. Experimental Analysis of Behavior
Vol.3(4), 1960, pp.293-310
DOI: 10.1901/jeab.1960.3-293

Abstract

In 1910, a systematic pharmacological investigation of a series of aliphatic and aromatic amines (Barger & Dale, 1910) revealed that a number of compounds had properties similar to that of epinephrine. These compounds elicited physiological responses of varying degree to functional stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system. From this work the term sympathomimetic amine was coined. Prior to this (in the 1880's), ephedrine, the active principle of the Chinese herb Ma Huang, had been studied and was discarded as being too toxic. Upon reinvestigation by Chen and Schmidt (1924), the pharmacological importance of ephedrine as a sympathomimetic was recognized. Publication of this work stimulated new interest in these amine compounds, especially the phenyl-ethylamines and the phenylisopropylamines, the chemical nucleas structure of epinephrine and ephedrine respectively.

I'm very interested in how he rates 3-chloroamphetamine and 3-chloromethamphetamine compared to the other amphetamines. He obviously spent quite some time working with them and there is a kind of simple rout to the raw material if it works well enough.

The Aqueous Stability of Bupropion
Paul M O'Byrne, Robert Williams, John J Walsh & John F Gilmer
J. Pharmaceutical & Biomedical Analysis
Vol.53(3) 2010, pp.376-381
DOI: 10.1016/j.jpba.2010.04.024

Abstract

In this study the aqueous stability of bupropion was determined and the pH-degradation profile was obtained. The effects of hydrogen ion, solvent and hydroxide ion concentration are discussed with particular emphasis on the kinetics of degradation of bupropion. Kinetics and degradation of bupropion were determined by HPLC-UV and LC–MS analysis both utilising high pH chromatographic methods. Degradation of bupropion in aqueous solutions follows first-order reaction kinetics. The pH-degradation profile was determined using non-linear regression analysis. The micro- and macro-reaction constants for degradation are presented. Bupropion was most stable in aqueous solutions below pH 5. Degradation was catalyzed by water but mainly by hydroxide ion on the unionised form of bupropion. The energy of activation for decomposition in aqueous solution pH 10.7 I = 0.055 was determined to be 53 kJ mol-1 with a frequency factor of 6.43 × 1010 s-1. The degradants of bupropion were positively identified and a mechanism of degradation is proposed. The inherent instability of bupropion above pH 5 has implications for its therapeutic use, formulation, pharmacokinetics and use during analysis and storage.

Extension of Bischler-Napieralski reaction—I : Synthesis of isoquinoline derivatives: A synthesis of rac.-apomorphine dimethyl ether

Shigehiko Sugasawa, Ryuji Tachikawa

Tetrahedron
Vol.4(3-4), 1958, pp.205-212
http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/0040-4020(58)80042-3

Abstract

The scope of Bischler-Napieralski reaction has now been extended to include acyl cyclo-hexa-1:4-dienylethylamide types, which cyclise smoothly to yield various isoquinolines after dehydrogenation. 1-(2-Nitro-3:4-dimethoxybenzyl)-3:4-dihydroisoquinoline, hitherto difficultly accessible, could be prepared and converted to rac.-apomorphine dimethyl ether.

Abstract

Acyl derivatives of 5-phenylpent-4-enylamine were cyclized to give 2-substituted 3-benzal-3,4,5,6,-tetrahydropyridines in good yield. This is a new synthesis of pyridine derivatives.

These papers are the ones everyone was trying to find on the hive (http://about.mdma.ch/000462981.html) at one point, dealing with the reduction of phenethylamine(s) directly via a Birch reduction for use in the Bischler-Napieralski Reaction with phenacyl chlorides. I'd kind of like to access them and have them for future reference. I found them by searching high and low for the authors mentioned in the Morphinans paper (http://files.rushim.ru/books/lekarstva/synthetic-analgesics2.pdf, p.23). They are also the same author's (Sugasawa & Tachikawa) for the cyclization of p-methoxyphenacyl chloride and 2(1,4-cyclohexenyl)phenethylamine to 1-p-methoxybenzyl-1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8-octahydroisoquinoline found some time ago in yet another journal.
