Carbamoylcholine analogs as nicotinic acetylcholine receptor agonists—Structural modifications of 3-(dimethylamino)butyl dimethylcarbamate (DMABC)
摘要:
Compounds based on the 3-(dimethylamino)butyl dimethylcarbamate (DMABC) scaffold were synthesized and pharmacologically characterized at the alpha(4)beta(2), alpha(3)beta(4), alpha(4)beta(4) and alpha(7) neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs). The carbamate functionality and a small hydrophobic substituent in the C-3 position were found to be vital for the binding affinity to the nAChRs, whereas the carbamate nitrogen substituents were important for nAChR subtype selectivity. Finally, the compounds were found to be agonists at the alpha(3)beta(4) nAChR. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
Disclosed are compounds of general formula (I) that function as prodrugs, thereby increasing bioavailabilities of the linked therapeutic agents, wherein the LINKER is (i) substituted or unsubstituted alkyl, (ii) substituted or unsubstituted alkenyl, (iii) substituted or unsubstituted alkanoyl, (iv) substituted or unsubstituted alkenoyl wherein the double bond is cis, and (v) (ortho or para) carbonyl-substituted aryl; and wherein the substituent is each an independent group or linked together thereby forming a ring; and wherein X is one or more substituted or unsubstituted group containing one or more O, N, or S atom and wherein the substituent is each an independent group or linked together thereby forming a ring; and wherein the therapeutic agent is an alcohol-containing water-insoluble steroids or another alcohol containing compounds and methods to prepare such compounds.
