Derivatives of N-(1-phenethyl-4-piperidyl)propanamides incorporating guanidinium and 2-aminoimidazolinium groups have been prepared by a synthetic approach involving first introduction of a spacer between the piperidine and the functional group by reductive amination of piperidinone. The formation of each of these functional groups was carried out using N-N'-di(tert-butoxycarbonyl)thiourca and 2-methylthioimidazolinium iodide, respectively. These structures have been designed to incorporate two pharmacologic goals into one entity. Radioligand binding assays have been used to study their affinity for opioid (A, 5 and K) and 1(2)-imidazoline receptors. Two of them, 10 and 16, showed high affinity for mu opioid receptors and functionally they had moderate analgesic properties in the hot plate and writhing tests. The in vitro studies on guinea pig ileum (GPI) indicated that both compounds are mu opioid agonists. In what concerns 12-imidazoline receptor activity, these derivatives showed low affinity around 6 to 7 times less than idazoxan. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
