α2 Adrenoceptor Agonists as Potential Analgesic Agents. 1. (Imidazolylmethyl)oxazoles and -thiazoles
摘要:
A series of (imidazolylmethyl)oxazoles and -thiazoles were prepared and evaluated as alpha(2) adrenoceptor agonists. These compounds were also tested in in vivo paradigms that are predictive of analgesic activity. Variations in both the imidazole and thiazole portions of the molecule were investigated. Some of the more potent compounds such as 22, 26, 45, and 53 displayed at receptor binding in the 10-20 nM range and also had significant, antinociceptive activity in the mouse abdominal irritant test (MAIT).
Modulating the Serotonin Receptor Spectrum of Pulicatin Natural Products
摘要:
Serotonin (5-HT) receptors are important in health and disease, but the existence of 14 subtypes necessitates selective ligands. Previously, the pulicatins were identified as ligands that specifically bound to the subtype 5-HT2B in the 500 nM to 10 mu M range and that exhibited in vitro effects on cultured mouse neurons. Here, we examined the structure activity relationship of 30 synthetic and natural pulicatin derivatives using binding, receptor functionality, and in vivo assays. The results reveal the 2-arylthiazoline scaffold as a tunable serotonin receptor-targeting pharmacophore. Tests in mice show potential antiseizure and antinociceptive activities at high doses without motor impairment.
