Structural Analysis and Optimization of NK1 Receptor Antagonists through Modulation of Atropisomer Interconversion Properties
摘要:
We have previously described a series of antagonists that showed high potency and selectivity for the NK1 receptor. However, these compounds also had the undesirable property of existing as a mixture of interconverting rotational isomers. Here we show that alteration of the 2-naphthyl substituent can modulate the rate of isomer exchange. Comparisons of the NK1 receptor affinity for the various conformational. forms has facilitated the development of a detailed NK1 pharmacophore model.
