Design, Synthesis, and Optimization of Balanced Dual NK1/NK3Receptor Antagonists
摘要:
In connection with a program directed at potent and balanced dual NK1/NK3 receptor ligands, a focused exploration of an original class of peptidomimetic derivatives was performed. The rational design and molecular hybridization of a novel phenylalanine core series was achieved to maximize the in vitro affinity and antagonism at both human NK1 and NK3 receptors. This study led to the identification of a new potent dual NK1/NK3 antagonist with pK(i) values of 8.6 and 8.1, respectively.
