Novel ORL1-selective antagonists with oral bioavailability and brain penetrability
摘要:
Following the discovery of 5-chloro-6-[piperazin-1-yl]-1H-benzimidazole as a novel pharmacophore for potent and selective ORL1 antagonist activity, optimization of this new lead by introduction of a methyl substitution on the piperazine ring resulted in a highly potent and selective, orally available, and brain penetrable ORL1 antagonist, 2-(tert-butylthio)-5-chloro-6-[(2R)-4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-2-methylpiperazin-1-yl]-1 H-benzimidazole. Stereochemistry of the methyl substituent on the piperazine ring to control the functional activity of other opioid receptors is also described. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Optimization of benzimidazole series as opioid receptor-like 1 (ORL1) antagonists: SAR study directed toward improvement of selectivity over hERG activity
A structure-activity relationship (SAR) study on the benzimidazole series of opioid receptor-like 1 (ORL1) antagonists related to 1 is described. Optimization of 1 by introduction of a hydrophilic substituent into the thioether part resulted in identification of potent ORL1 antagonists with high selectivity over binding affinity for hERG and other opioid receptors.
