Syntheses of tetrahydrothiophenes and tetrahydrofurans and studies of their derivatives as melanocortin-4 receptor ligands
摘要:
Piperazinebenzylamine derivatives from trans-4-(4-chlorophenyl)tetrahydrothiophene-3-carboxylic acid 6 and its S-oxide 7 and sulfone 8, and the tetrahydrofuran 9 and its two regioisomers 11 and 13 were synthesized and studied for their binding affinities at the human melanocortin-4 receptor. These five-membered ring constrained compounds possessed similar or lower potency compared to the acyclic analogs. (C) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

A series of trans-4-phenylpyrrolidine-3-carboxamides were synthesized and characterized as potent ligands of the human melanocortin-4 receptor. Interestingly, a pair of diastereoisomers 13b displayed potent functional agonist and antagonist activity, respectively. Thus, the 3S,4R-pyrrolidine 13b-1 possessed a K-i of 1.0 nM and an EC50 of 3.8 nM while its 3R,4S-isomer 13b-2 exhibited a K-i of 4.7 and an IC50 of 64 nM. Both compounds were highly selective over other melanocortin receptor subtypes. The MC4R agonist 13b-1 also demonstrated efficacy in a diet-induced obesity model in rats. (C) 2007 Elsevier Ltd.
