J-104129, a novel muscarinic M3 receptor antagonist with high selectivity for M3 over M2 receptors
摘要:
A new class of 4-acetamidopiperidine derivatives has been synthesized and investigated for human muscarinic receptor subtype selectivity. Introduction of a hydrocarbon chain of appropriate length into the piperidine nitrogen of the racemic N-(piperidin-4-yl)-2-cyclobutyl-2-hydroxy-2-phenylacetamide platform conferred up to 70-fold selectivity for human muscarinic M-3 receptors over M-2 receptors. Subsequent synthetic derivatizations resulted in highly potent M-3 receptor antagonists with selectivity greater than two orders of magnitude for M-3 over M-2 receptors, from which the analogue 4r was selected. Preparation of both enantiomers of 4r led to the identification of (2R)-N-[1-(4-methyl-3-pentenyl)piperidin-4-yl]-2-cyclopentyl-2-hydroxy-2-phenylacetamide (J-104129, (R)-4r), which exhibited 120-fold selectivity for Mg receptors (K-i = 4.2 nM) over M-2 receptors (K-i = 490 nM). In isolated rat trachea, (R)-4r potently and specifically antagonized acetylcholine (ACh)-induced responses with a K-B value of 3.3 nM. The highly subtype-selective profile was also seen in isolated rat tissue assays (50-fold) and in anesthetized rats (> 250-fold). Oral administration of J-104129 ((R)-4r) antagonized ACh-induced bronchoconstriction with an ED50 value of 0.58 mg/kg in rats. Thus, J-104129 ((R)-4r) may effectively facilitate bronchodilation in the treatment of obstructive airway disease. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
This invention provides novel 1,4-di-substituted piperidine derivatives of the general formula \x9bI! ##STR1## and the pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, wherein: Ar represents a phenyl group or a five- or six-membered heteroaromatic group having one or two hetero atoms selected from the group consisting of an oxygen atom, a sulfur atom and a nitrogen atom in which one or two optional hydrogen atoms on the ring may be replaced by substituent groups selected from the group consisting of a halogen atom and a lower alkyl group; R.sup.1 represents a cycloalkyl group of 3 to 6 carbon atoms or a cycloalkenyl group of 3 to 6 carbon atoms; R.sup.2 represents a saturated or unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbon radical of 5 to 15 carbon atoms; and X represents O or NH. These compounds have selective antagonistic activity against the muscarinic M.sub.3 receptors and can hence be used safely with a minimum of side effects.
