Discovery of μ-opioid selective ligands derived from 1-aminotetralin scaffolds made via metal-catalyzed ring-opening reactions
摘要:
A series of 1-aminotetralin scaffolds was synthesized via metal-catalyzed ring-opening reactions of heterobicyclic alkenes. Small libraries of amides and amines were made using the amino group of each scaffold as a handle. Screening of these libraries against human opioid receptors led to the identification of (S)-(S)-5.2a as a high-affinity selective mu ligand (IC50 mu = 5 nM, kappa = 707 nM, delta = 3,795 nM) displaying mu-agonist/antagonist properties due to its partial agonism (EC50 = 2.6 mu M; E-max = 18%).
