New prenylamine analogues: synthesis and Ca2+-entry blocking activity
摘要:
The synthesis of a series of diphenylalkylamine derivatives related to prenylamine is reported. The amphetamine group in the prenylamine structure was replaced by other moieties. In addition to substitutions in the aromatic rings, heteroatoms such as sulphur and oxygen were introduced in the chain. The calcium-entry blocking activity was assayed in binding experiments on a guinea-pig brain membrane preparation by displacing [H-3]-nitrendipine.
Elucidation of Structural Elements for Selectivity across Monoamine Transporters: Novel 2-[(Diphenylmethyl)sulfinyl]acetamide (Modafinil) Analogues
摘要:
2-[(Diphenylmethyl)sulfinyl]acetamide (modafinil, (+/-)-1) is a unique dopamine uptake inhibitor that binds the dopamine transporter (DAT) differently than cocaine and may have potential for the treatment of psychostimulant abuse. To further investigate structural requirements for this divergent binding mode, novel thio- and sulfinylacetamide and ethanamine analogues of (+/-)-1 were synthesized wherein (1) the diphenyl rings were substituted with methyl, trifluoromethyl, and halogen substituents and (2) substituents were added to the terminal amide/amine nitrogen. Halogen substitution of the diphenyl rings of (+/-)-1 gave several amide analogues with improved binding affinity for DAT and robust selectivity over the serotonin transporter (SERT), whereas affinity improved at SERT over DAT for the p-halo-substituted amine analogues. Molecular docking studies, using a subset of analogues with DAT and SEAT homology models, and functional data obtained with DAT (A480T) and SERT (T497A) mutants defined a role for TM10 in the substrate/inhibitor S1 binding sites of DAT and SERT.
