Design and Synthesis of Novel α1a Adrenoceptor-Selective Antagonists. 1. Structure−Activity Relationship in Dihydropyrimidinones
摘要:
Dihydropyrimidinones such as compound 12 exhibited high binding affinity and subtype selectivity for the cloned human alpha(1a) receptor. Systematic modifications of 12 led to identification of highly potent and subtype-selective compounds such as (+)-30 and (+)-103, with high binding affinity (K-i = 0.2 nM) for alpha(1a) receptor and greater than 1500-fold selectivity over alpha(1b) and alpha(1d) adrenoceptors. The compounds were found to be functional antagonists in human, rat, and dog prostate tissues. Compound (+)-103 exhibited excellent selectively to inhibit intraurethral pressure (IUP) as compared to lowering diastolic blood pressure (DBP) in mongrel dogs (K-b(DBP)/K-b(IUP) = 40) suggesting uroselectivity for alpha(1a)-selective compounds.
