Mixed κ agonists and μ agonists/Antagonists as potential pharmacotherapeutics for cocaine abuse: synthesis and opioid receptor binding affinity of N-substituted derivatives of morphinan
摘要:
A series of new N-substituted derivatives of morphinan was synthesized and their binding affinity for the three opioid receptors (mu, delta, and kappa) was determined. A paradoxical effect of N-propargyl (MCL-117) and N-(3-iodoprop-(2E)-enyl) (MCL-118) substituents on the binding affinities for the mu and kappa opioid receptors was observed. All of these novel derivatives showed a preference for the mu and kappa versus delta binding. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

A series of homo- and heterodimeric ligands containing kappa agonist and mu agonist/antagonist pharmacophores joined by a linker chain of varying lengths was synthesized and evaluated in vitro by their binding affinity at mu, delta, and kappa opioid receptors. The functional activities of these compounds were measured in the [S-35]- GTP gamma S binding assay. The data suggest that the stereochemistry of the pharmacophores, the N-substituents of the pharmacophore, ester linkages, and the spacer length were crucial factors for optimum interactions of such ligands at opioid receptor binding sites. These novel ligands as well as their pharmacological properties will serve as the basis for our continuing investigation of such bivalent ligands as probes of the opioid receptor oligomerization phenomena and for in vivo studies as analgesics.
