New N-substituted 9-azabicyclo[3.3.1]nonan-3α-yl phenylcarbamate analogs as σ2 receptor ligands: Synthesis, in vitro characterization, and evaluation as PET imaging and chemosensitization agents
摘要:
A series of N-substituted 9-azabicyclo[3.3.1] nonan-3 alpha-yl phenylcarbamate analogs were synthesized. Among them, WC-26 and WC-59 were identified as the most potent sigma(2) receptor ligands (K-i = 2.58 and 0.82 nM, respectively) with high selectivity against sigma(1) (K-i of sigma(1)/sigma(2) ratio = 557 and 2087, respectively). [F-18] WC-59 was radiolabeled via a nucleophilic substitution of a mesylate precursor by [F-18]fluoride and in vitro direct binding studies of [F-18]WC-59 were conducted using membrane preparations from murine EMT-6 solid breast tumors. The results indicate that [F-18]WC-59 binds specifically to sigma(2) receptors in vitro (K-d = similar to 2 nM). Biodistribution studies of [F-18]WC-59 in EMT-6 tumor-bearing mice indicated that the tracer was a less suitable candidate for clinical imaging studies than existing F-18 labeled sigma(2) receptor ligands. The ability of WC-26 to enhance the cytotoxic effects of the chemotherapy drug, doxorubicin, was evaluated in cell culture using the mouse breast tumor EMT-6 and the human tumor MDA-MB435. WC-26 greatly increased the ability of doxorubicin to kill these two tumor cell lines in vitro. These results indicate that WC-26 is potentially a useful chemosensitizer for the treatment of cancer when combined with conventional chemotherapeutics. (c) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

A series of N-substituted 9-azabicyclo[3.3.1]nonan-3α-yl phenylcarbamate analogs are disclosed, as well as methods of their preparation. Their affinities for sigma (σ1 and σ2) receptors are described. Two new compounds, N-(9-(4-aminobutyl)-9-azabicyclo[3.3.1]nonan-3α-yl)-N′-(2-methoxy-5-methylphenyl)carbamate and N-(9-(6-aminohexyl)-9-azabicyclo[3.3.1]nonan-3α-yl)-N′-(2-methoxy-5-methylphenyl)carbamate, are shown to have a high affinity and selectivity for σ2 versus σ1 receptors. Among the disclosed compounds are biotinylated and fluorescent analogs. These compounds can serve as probes to the σ2 receptor. In addition, some disclosed compounds can induce apoptotic cell death by both caspase-dependent and caspase-independent mechanisms, and are effective for treatment of tumors. The compounds can be used as chemotherapeutics or chemosensitizers in the treatment of a wide variety of solid tumors.

value below 5 μM against human pancreatic cancer cells in vitro. Administration of this species promoted shrinkage of pancreatic cancer tumors in a murine model system in vivo, and led to 100% survival of experimental animals over a time course in which control therapies provided only 30% or 40% survival. Methods of synthesis of molecular species are also disclosed.
