A Potent, Long-Acting, Orally Active (2R)-2-[(1R)-3,3-Difluorocyclopentyl]-2-hydroxy-2-phenylacetamide: A Novel Muscarinic M3 Receptor Antagonist with High Selectivity for M3 over M2 Receptors
摘要:
A novel series of (2R)-2-[(1R)-3,3-difluorocyclopentyl]-2-hydroxy-2-phenylacetamides was designed and synthesized based on the structure and biological profiles of an active metabolite 2 of our prototype muscarinic M-3 receptor selective antagonist 1, to develop a potent, long-acting, orally active M-3 antagonist for the treatment of urinary tract disorders, irritable bowel syndrome, and respiratory disorders. Investigation of (2R)-2-[(IR)-3,3-difluorocyclopentyl] -2-hydroxy-2-phenylacetamides containing a phenyl or heterocyclic ring as the piperidinyl side chain in place of the 4-methyl-3-pentenyl moiety of 15a revealed that this acid moiety was a versatile template for improving the selectivity for M-3 over M-2 receptors in comparison With the corresponding cyclopentylphenylacetic acid group: However, since the in vitro metabolic stability of these analogues was insufficient compared with that of 2, further derivatization was performed by introducing an appropriate hydrophilic group into the phenyl or 2-pyridyl ring. Thus, the 1;(6-aminopyridin-2-ylmethyl)piperidine analogue 15y exhibiting 190-fold selectivity for M-3 receptors (K-i = 2.8 nM) over M-2 receptors (K-i = 530 nM) in a human binding assay and-good in vitro metabolic stability in dog and human hepatic microsomes:was identified; This compound has excellent oral activity at 4 h after oral dosing (1 mg/kg), inhibiting methacholine-induced : bronchoconstriction in dogs, and may be useful in clinical situations in which M-3 over M-2 selectivity is desirable.
