The present study describes our continued efforts in the discovery and characterization of a series of 2-sulfonamidebenzamides as allosteric modulators of MrgX1. MrgX1 has been shown to be an attractive target as a nonopioid receptor for the potential treatment of chronic pain. Working from our original compound, ML382, and utilizing iterative medicinal chemistry, we have identified key halogen substituents
本研究描述了我们在发现和表征一系列作为 MrgX1 变构调节剂的 2-磺酰胺苯甲酰胺方面所做的持续努力。 MrgX1 已被证明是一个有吸引力的靶标,作为一种非阿片受体,可用于潜在治疗慢性疼痛。从我们的原始化合物 ML382 出发,并利用迭代药物化学,我们已经确定了关键的卤素取代基,可将 MrgX1 的效力提高约 8 倍。此外,我们还对一级药物代谢和药代动力学测定中的化合物进行了评估,并确定了可提高药效和微粒体稳定性的关键化合物。
