Endomorphin-1 Analogues Containing β-Proline Are μ-Opioid Receptor Agonists and Display Enhanced Enzymatic Hydrolysis Resistance
摘要:
In this paper we describe the synthesis and affinity toward the mu-opioid receptor of some tetrapeptides obtained from endomorphin-1, H-Tyr-Pro-Trp-Phe-NH2 (1), by substituting each amino acid in turn with its homologue. The ability to bind p-opioid receptors depends on the beta-amino acid, and in particular 4, which contains beta-L-Pro, has a K-1 in the nanomolar range. The peptides 4 and 5 are significantly more resistant to enzymatic hydrolysis than 1. The same compounds, as well as they-opioid receptor agonist DAMGO, produced a concentration-dependent inhibition of forskolin-stimulated cyclic AMP formation, thus behaving as mu-opioid agonists. These features suggest that this novel class of endomorphin-1 analogues may represent suitable candidates for the in vivo investigation as potential mu-opioid receptor agonists.

appropriate cyclic D- or L-amino acids by the Amdt-Eistert homologation followed by reduction of the resulting esters. Incorporation of these pharmacophores was achieved via a novel Mitsunobu alkylation of 4-hydroxyquinolones. The key amine pharmacophore for binding to the rat GnRH receptor was most active in the S-configuration. Ring size was not important for potency with 4, 5, 6, and 7-memberedring amines
The aldol reactions of α-keto phosphonates and aldehydes were facilitated by an axially chiral biphenylprolinamide under mild conditions, affording the synthetically and pharmaceutically useful products in high yields and excellent enantioselectivities.

With increasing π acidity of the formally trifunctional catalysts, rate and enantioselectivity of the reaction increase. Mismatched and more flexiblecontrols reveal that the importance of rigidified, precisely sculpted architectures increases

A lead compound which had sub-micromolar affinity for the rabbit NK1 receptor but negligible affinity for rat NK1 receptors, 3a, was discovered by directed screening. 2-Substitution in the ring of the benzylthiourea substituent in the initial lead was found to be important, and halogens (Cl, Br) in this position were found to improve affinity for the human receptor. The activity of a series of 2-halo-substituted benzylthioureas was then optimized by modification of the proline diphenylmethyl amide, guided by a simple conceptual model based on structural overlay between these early antagonists and NK1 selective peptides. In this way, aromatic amino acid amides were identified which had improved affinity with respect to the starting diphenylmethyl (DPM) amides. The first sub-nanomolar ligand for the human NK1 receptor which arose from this series, 4af, combined a 2-chlorobenzylthiourea unit with a 2-naphthylalanine amide. Contemporaneously it was discovered that the benzylthiourea unit could be simplified to a phenylthiourea providing that an appropriate 2-substituent was also incorporated. Combination of these two series gave 2-NO2 phenylthiourea analogues which led directly to the analogous urea, 5f(2-nitrophenylcarbamoyl-(S)-prolyl-(S)-3-(2-naphthyl)alanyl-N-benzyl-N-methylamide, SDZ NKT 343), a highly potent ligand for the human NK1 receptor (K-i = 0.16 nM). In addition to its high in vitro potency, 5f proved to be a potent orally active analgesic in guinea pig models of chronic inflammatory and neuropathic pain. The nature of the 2-aryl substituent was found to be critical for oral activity in this series. Clinical evaluation of 5f as a novel analgesic agent is currently underway.
