Optimization of triaryl bis-sulfones as cannabinoid-2 receptor ligands
摘要:
Structure-activity relationship on our recently reported triaryl bis-sulfone class of cannabinoid-2 (C132) receptor selective inverse agonists was explored. Modifications to the methane sulfonamide, substitutions to B and C phenyl rings, and replacements of the C-ring were investigated. A compound with excellent C132 activity, selectivity for C132 over CB I, and in vivo plasma levels was identified. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
Triaryl bis-sulfones as cannabinoid-2 receptor ligands: SAR studies
摘要:
We recently reported that compound 1 is a potent inhibitor of the CB2 receptor with high selectivity over CB1. This paper describes the SAR development for this class of compounds. Variation of the substitution pattern on the aromatic rings, as well as the groups linking them together, led to sub-nanomolar inhibitors of the CB2 receptor, with high selectivity over CB1.
