Deoxymorphines: role of the phenolic hydroxyl in antinociception and opiate receptor interactions
摘要:
Several 3-deoxy opioids and 3,6-dideoxydihydromorphine was synthesized to ascertain the effect of the phenolic hydroxyl group on antinociceptive potency and receptor binding affinity. Catalytic reduction of the 3-tetrazolyl ether derivatives of dihydromorphine provided the entry into the 3-deoxydihydro series. The prototype, 3-deoxymorphine, was prepared by lithium aluminum hydride reduction of 3-deoxy-N-carbethoxymorphinone, obtained via its 7-(phenylseleno) derivative. 3-Deoxydihydromorphinone and 3,6-dideoxydihydromorphine were found to be about as potent as, or more potent than, morphine in standard antiociceptive assays. Each of them, however, was less potent than the comparable 3-hydroxy analogue, and their binding affinity to the opiate receptor was substantially decreased. The epoxy ring in 3.6-dideoxydihydromorphine was found to increase the antinociceptive potency of the compound.

The N-demethylation of 3-deoxymorphine (1) was investigated using methyl chloroformate and hydrazine. 3-Deoxynormorphine (2) was obtained in 70% yield, and 3-deoxydihydronormorphine (3) was also obtained as a side product. The mu, delta, and kappa receptor binding affinity of a series of N-substituted 3-deoxynormorphines 6 and 7 and N-substituted 3-deoxydihydronormorphines 8-11 was also determined.
