Synthesis and in vitro evaluation of salvinorin A analogues: Effect of configuration at C(2) and substitution at C(18)
摘要:
kappa-opioid receptor ligands have raised interest for their apparent effects on mood. The potent and selective kappa-agonist salvinorin A has short-lasting (15 min) depressive-like effects in rats in behavioral models used to study mood disorders. Two series of salvinorin derivatives modified at C(2) and C(18), respectively, were synthesized and their kappa-opioid receptor affinities, potencies, and efficacies were evaluated using in vitro receptor binding and biochemical functional assays. Modification at C(2) yielded potent kappa-agonists that are predicted to have improved metabolic stability (14a, 15a) or increased water solubility (10b). Our preliminary SAR study at C(18) suggested that this part of the molecule interacts with a tight lipophilic pocket of the K-receptor. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
Synthesis and in vitro pharmacological evaluation of salvinorin A analogues modified at C(2)
摘要:
Salvinorin A is the only known non-nitrogenous and specific K-opioid agonist. A series of salvinorin A derivatives were prepared and tested for in vitro activity at the K-opioid receptor. Unsubstituted carbamate 9 was a potent K-agonist (EC50 = 6.2 nM) and should be more stable than salvinorin A toward metabolic transformations. Compound 10, containing an N-methyl carbamate at C(2), showed partial agonist activity with 81% efficacy when compared with the full agonist U50,488H. No antagonist ligands were observed.
