Structure−Activity Relationships for a Novel Series of Dopamine D2-like Receptor Ligands Based on N-Substituted 3-Aryl-8-azabicyclo[3.2.1]octan-3-ol
摘要:
Discovering dopamine D2-like receptor subtype-selective ligands has been a focus of significant investigation. The D2R-selective antagonist 3-[4-(4-chlorophenyl)-4-hydroxypiperidinyl]methylindole (1, L741,626; K-i(D2R/MR) = 11.2:163 nM) has previously provided a lead template for chemical modification. Herein, analogues have been synthesized where the piperidine was replaced by a tropane ring that reversed the selectivity seen in the parent compound, in human hD2(L)R- or hD3R-transfected HEK 293 cells (31, K-i(D2R/D3R) = 33.4: 15.5 nM). Further exploration of both N-substituted and aryl ring-substituted analogues resulted in the discovery of several high affinity D2R/D3R ligands with 3-benzofurylmethyl-substituents (e.g., 45, K-i(D2R/D3R) = 1.7:0.34 nM) that induced high affinity not achieved in similarly N-substituted piperidine analogues and significantly (470-fold) improved D3R binding affinity compared to the parent ligand 1. X-ray crystallographic data revealed a distinctive spatial arrangement of pharmacophoric elements in the piperidinol vs tropine analogues, providing clues for the diversity in SAR at the D2 and D3 receptor subtypes.
An efficient and facile method for the synthesis of a broad series of benzofurans and naphthofurans is described. The direct intramolecular cyclodehydration of aryloxyketones in the presence of titaniumtetrachloride affords the corresponding benzofurans and naphthofurans with good regioselectivity and yields.
An approach to the synthesis of naphtho[b]furans from allyl bromonaphthyl ethers employing sequential photoinduced radical cyclization and dehydrohalogenation reactions
A simple method has been developed for the efficient synthesis of naphtho[b]furans from allyl bromonaphthyl ethers. The approach utilizes a novel photochemical process involving sequential radicalcyclization and dehydrohalogenation. Because light is a readily available, environmentally friendly reagent that produces no by-products, the new process serves as a green synthetic method.
