Potent, Selective Tetrahydro-β-carboline Antagonists of the Serotonin 2B (5HT2B) Contractile Receptor in the Rat Stomach Fundus
摘要:
A series of potent, selective 5HT(2B) receptor antagonists has been identified based upon yohimbine, with SAR studies resulting in a 1000-fold increase in 5HT(2B) receptor affinity relative to the starting structure (-log K(B)s > 10.0 have been obtained). These high-affinity tetrahydro-beta-carboline antagonists are able to discriminate among the 5HT(2) family of serotonin receptors, with members of the series showing selectivities of more than 100-fold versus both the 5HT(2A) and 5HT(2C) receptors based upon radioligand binding and functional assays. As the first compounds reported with such selectivity and enhanced receptor affinity, these tetrahydro-beta-carboline antagonists are useful tools for elucidating the role of serotonin acting at the 5HT(2B) receptor in normal and disease physiology.
