To delineate the differences between the structural requirements necessary for recognition at sigma-1 and sigma-2 receptors, a range of phenethyl- and phenylpropylpiperidines were evaluated in binding assays. Phenethylpiperidines were found to favor sigma-1 receptors, whereas phenylpropylpiperidines tend to favor sigma-2 receptors. It appears that phenylpropylamine is a potential pharmacophore for selective sigma-2 ligands. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
New .MU.-Opioid Receptor Agonists with Piperazine Moiety.
New μ-opioid receptor (MOR) agonists containing piperazine and homopiperazine moieties in the structures were synthesized and their affinities to and agonist potencies on MOR were evaluated. Among the synthesized compounds, 4-[4-(2-methoxyphenyl)piperazin-1-yl]-N,N-dimethyl-2,2-diphenylbutanamide (20Aa) showed the highest affinity to the human MOR expressed in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO)-K1 cells, and the highest agonist potency on the MOR in isolated guinea-pig ileum preparation.
