Synthesis and evaluation of diazine containing bioisosteres of (−)-ferruginine as ligands for nicotinic acetylcholine receptors
摘要:
In this structure-affinity relationship (SAFIR) study, the bioisosteric potential of diazines in the field of ferruginine- type nAChR ligands was investigated. Novel enantiopure analogues of (-)-Ferruginine (3) such as 6 8 were synthesized utilizing enantiomerically pure N-protected (+)-2-tropanone 9 from the 'chiral pool' as versatile chiral building block and a palladium-catalyzed Stille cross-coupling of the tributylstannyl diazines 12, 14 and 16 with the vinyl triflate I I of ( +)-2-tropanone 9. The structures of the novel diazine analogues 6 8 of (-)-ferruginine (3) were assigned on the basis of spectral data, that of ligand 7 being additionally verified by X-ray crystallography. The bioisosteric replacement of the acetyl moiety as structural part of the lead compound 3 with the pyridazine, pyrimidine and pyrazine nucleus resulted in ligands with high to moderate affinity for the central alpha4 beta2 and remarkably low affinity for the alpha7* nAChR subtypes. Among the compounds synthesized and tested, 7 was the most active one with K-i = 3.7 nM (alpha4 beta2). Compared with the lead 3, this value represents a 30-fold improvement in the affinity for the alpha4 beta2 subtype combined with a substantially improved selectivity ratio between the alpha4 beta2 and alpha7* subtypes.
