High-Affinity Mu Opioid Receptor Ligands Discovered by the Screening of an Exhaustively Stereodiversified Library of 1,5-Enediols
摘要:
In this communication, we report the synthesis of an exhaustively stereodiversified library of 16 1,5-enediols (2) and the screening of these compounds for mu opioid receptor (MOR) binding. The stereochemical configuration of 2 strongly impacted the binding affinity, and (S,S,S,R)-2 exhibited a Ki of 8.8 nM for MOR, comparable to that of endomorphin-2 (Ki = 1.2 nM). Moreover, compounds 2 exhibited 5-86-fold selectivity for MOR over delta opioid receptor (DOR) and 16-150-fold selectivity for MOR over kappa opioid receptor (KOR). Additionally, analogues of 2 were synthesized which showed the importance of the trans olefin for receptor binding but that modifications of the C-terminal amino acid were well tolerated. Ligand 11 is noteworthy because it retains only one of the amide bonds present in 1, but binds MOR with an affinity of 10 nM and 110- and 600-fold selectivity for MOR over DOR and KOR. These results demonstrate the utility of stereochemical diversity in the discovery of bioactive small molecules.

Novel compounds and compositions including those compounds, as well as methods of using and making the compounds are herein described. The compounds are useful in therapeutic applications, including modulation of disease or disease symptoms in a subject (e.g., mammal, human, dog, cat, horse). The compounds are useful as modulators of the mu opioid receptor (MOR) through their binding affinity with that receptor.

[GRAPHICS]Using olefin cross-metathesis, we synthesized a novel stereodiversified library of compounds 3 containing a trans-1,4-enediol. Screening this library for mu opioid receptor (MOR) affinity identified multiple high-affinity ligands and revealed that the stereochemical configuration varied widely among those ligands having the highest affinity. It was not possible to predict the configurations of the most active compounds 3 on the basis of the configuration of endomorphin-2, a known MOR peptide ligand, validating the diversity-based approach to ligand discovery.

We recently reported the use of an exhaustively stereodiversified library based on endomorphin-2 (1) to discovery opioid receptor (MOR) ligands of type 2-4. Here, we report the synthesis and evaluation of 2,6-dimethyltyrosine analogues 5-10. These analogues showed improved affinity for MOR relative to 2-4. In the cases of 5 and 6, we synthesized and evaluated five stereoisomers of each, thereby discovering stereoisomers with unexpected potency, selectivity, and efficacy. These results illustrate the utility of acyclic, stereodiverse libraries.
