Synthesis and in vitro evaluation of salvinorin A analogues: Effect of configuration at C(2) and substitution at C(18)
摘要:
kappa-opioid receptor ligands have raised interest for their apparent effects on mood. The potent and selective kappa-agonist salvinorin A has short-lasting (15 min) depressive-like effects in rats in behavioral models used to study mood disorders. Two series of salvinorin derivatives modified at C(2) and C(18), respectively, were synthesized and their kappa-opioid receptor affinities, potencies, and efficacies were evaluated using in vitro receptor binding and biochemical functional assays. Modification at C(2) yielded potent kappa-agonists that are predicted to have improved metabolic stability (14a, 15a) or increased water solubility (10b). Our preliminary SAR study at C(18) suggested that this part of the molecule interacts with a tight lipophilic pocket of the K-receptor. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Salvinorin A (1), from the sage Salvia divinorum, is a potent and selective K opioid receptor (KOR) agonist. We screened other salvinorins and derivatives for binding affinity and functional activity at opioid receptors. Our results suggest that the methyl ester and furan ring are required for activity but that the lactone and ketone functionalities are not. Other salvinorins showed negligible binding affinity at the KOR. None of the compounds bound to mu or delta opioid receptors.
