Benzodiazepine calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) receptor antagonists: Optimization of the 4-substituted piperidine
摘要:
In our continuing effort to identify CGRP receptor antagonists for the acute treatment of migraine, we have undertaken a study to evaluate alternative 4-substituted piperidines to the lead dihydroquinazolinone 1. In this regard, we have identified the piperidinyl-azabenzimidazolone and phenylimidazolinone structures which, when incorporated into the benzodiazepine core, afford potent CGRP receptor antagonists (e.g., 18 and 29). These studies produced a potent analog (18) which overcomes the instability issues associated with the lead structure 1. A general pharmacophore for the 4-substituted piperidine component of these CGRP receptor antagonists is also presented. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
Synthesis and neuroleptic activity of a series of 1-[1-(benzo-1,4-dioxan-2-ylmethyl)-4-piperidinyl]benzimidazolone derivatives
摘要:
A series of 1-[1-(benzo-1,4-dioxan-2-ylmethyl)-4-piperidinyl]benzimid azolones with various substituents in both aromatic rings have been synthesized and tested for neuroleptic activity (antiapomorphine effects and [3H]spiroperidol binding) as well as extrapyramidal effects (cataleptogenic effect). A strong dependence of activity on the 5-substituent in the benzimidazolone moiety could be demonstrated. Some compounds show a large split between the desired antiapomorphine and the undesired extrapyramidal effect. From these, 1-[1-(benzo-1,4-dioxan-2-ylmethyl)-4-piperidinyl]-5-chlor obenzimidazol-2-one hydrochloride (HR 723), 12, has been selected for further preclinical and toxicological profiling.
Neuroleptically active compounds of the formula ##STR1## wherein R.sup.6 and R.sup.10 are --H or CH.sub.3 ; R.sup.7 and R.sup.8 are independently --H, --F, --Cl, or --CH.sub.3 ; and R.sup.9 is --F, --Cl, --CH.sub.3, or --OCH.sub.3.
