Heteroarylaminoethyl and heteroarylthioethyl imidazoles. Synthesis and H3-receptor affinity
摘要:
The synthesis of new H-3-receptor antagonists, 4-(2-heteroarylaminoethyl) and 4-(2-heteroarylthioethyl) imidazoles and their H-3-receptor affinity obtained from competitive binding curves vs [H-3]-N-alpha-methylhistamine ([H-3]NAMHA) on rat brain cortex membranes are described. These compounds are derived from structural modulations of thioperamide and were synthesized in order to study binding interactions with H-3-receptors and find alternative lead compounds with H-3-receptor antagonist activity. The new compounds differ from thioperamide by the following features: 1) the N-cyclohexylcarbothioamide moiety of thioperamide has been replaced by a benzothiazole (1); 2) the piperidine ring has been replaced by more flexible aminoethyl and thioethyl chains, in order to lower the excessive rigidity of 1 and to test the importance of the tertiary piperidine nitrogen; and 3) the benzothiazole moiety of 1 has been replaced by other heterocyclic nuclei, endowed with different lipophilic, steric and hydrogen-bonding features. Some of the compounds tested showed good affinity for central H-3-receptors (pK(i) range: 5.89-7.96) and can be considered as lead compounds for further optimization studies. The most lipophilic compounds showed higher affinities among benzo-condensed compounds, while imidazolylthioethyl imidazoles were more potent in displacing [H-3]NAMHA than thiazolylthioethyl and thiazolylaminoethyl imidazoles which suggests an interaction between the annular NH of the imidazolylthioethyl moiety and the binding site.

Starting from thioperamide, the first potent and selective H3-receptorhistamineantagonist, analogues have been synthesized and tested in vitro on rat cerebral cortex to explore structure-activity relationships. The aim has been to design potent compounds which do not possess the thiourea group of thioperamide and which may have improved brain penetration. In a short series of open chain thiourea
