Further Studies on the Interaction of the 5-Hydroxytryptamine3 (5-HT3) Receptor with Arylpiperazine Ligands. Development of a New 5-HT3 Receptor Ligand Showing Potent Acetylcholinesterase Inhibitory Properties
摘要:
Novel arylpiperazine derivatives bearing lipophilic probes were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their potential ability to interact with the 5-hydroxytryptamine(3) (5-HT3) receptor. Most of the new compounds show subnanomolar 5-HT3 receptor affinity. Ester 6bc showing a picomolar K-i value is one of the most potent 5-HT3 receptor ligands so far synthesized. The structure-affinity relationship study suggests the existence of a certain degree of conformational freedom of the amino acid residues interacting with the substituents in positions 3 and 4 of the quipazine quinoline nucleus. Thus, the tacrine-related heterobivalent ligand 6o was designed in an attempt to capitalize on the evidence of such a steric tolerance. Compound 6o shows a nanomolar potency for both the 5-HT3 receptor and the human AChE and represents the first example of a rationally designed high-affinity 5-HT3 receptor ligand showing nanomolar AChE inhibitory activity. Finally, the computational analysis performed on compound 6o allowed the rationalization of the structure-energy determinants for AChE versus BuChE selectivity and revealed the existence of a subsite at the boundary of the 5-HT3 receptor extracellular domain, which could represent a "peripheral" site similar to that evidenced in the AChE gorge.
