Selective Cannabinoid Receptor Type 2 (CB2) Agonists: Optimization of a Series of Purines Leading to the Identification of a Clinical Candidate for the Treatment of Osteoarthritic Pain
摘要:
A focused screening strategy identified thienopyrimidine 12 as a cannabinoid receptor type 2 agonist (hCB2) with moderate selectivity over the hCB1 receptor. This initial hit suffered from poor in vitro metabolic stability and high in vivo clearance. Structure-activity relationships describe the optimization and modification to a new more polar series of purine CB2 agonists. Examples from this novel scaffold were found to be highly potent and fully efficacious agonists of the human CB2 receptor with excellent selectivity against CBI, often having no CBI agonist activity at the highest concentration measured (>100 mu M). Compound 26 is a centrally penetrant molecule which possesses good biopharmaceutical properties, is highly water-soluble, and demonstrates robust oral activity in rodent models of joint pain. In addition, the peripherally restricted molecule 22 also demonstrated significant efficacy in the same analgesic model of rodent inflammatory pain.

The purpose of this study was to design a conditioning program that protected muscles in both adult and old mice from a protocol of contractions that previously caused a significant number of damaged fibers and a deficit in force, Hind-limb dorsiflexor muscles of adult (7 months) and old (22 months) female B6D2F1 mice were exposed once a week to a protocol of repeated forced stretches while maximally activated in vivo. By week 4, muscles of adult, but not old, mice showed no force deficit. Conditioning was continued for 6 weeks, when both age groups showed no force deficit for two consecutive weeks. Three days after the sixth contraction protocol, when morphological damage and force deficits are most severe, the numbers of damaged fibers in muscles of adult and old mice were not different from those in uninjured control muscles and the force deficits were reduced dramatically compared with unconditioned muscles. We conclude that muscles of both adult and old mice conditioned successfully, but muscles of old mice conditioned more slowly than those of adult mice.

A focused screening strategy identified thienopyrimidine 1 as a hCB2 cannabinoid receptor agonist with moderate selectivity over the hCB1 receptor. This initial hit suffered from poor in vitro metabolic stability and high in vivo clearance. Structure-activity relationships describe the optimization and modification to a less lipophilic purine core. Examples from this novel series were found to be highly potent and fully efficacious agonists of the human CB2 receptor with excellent selectivity against CB1. Compound 10 possesses good biopharmaceutical properties, is highly water soluble and demonstrates robust oral activity in rodent models of joint pain. (c) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
