Investigations on the 4-Quinolone-3-carboxylic Acid Motif. 4. Identification of New Potent and Selective Ligands for the Cannabinoid Type 2 Receptor with Diverse Substitution Patterns and Antihyperalgesic Effects in Mice
摘要:
Experimental evidence suggests that selective CB2 receptor modulators may provide access to antihyperalgesic agents devoid of psychotropic effects. Talcing advantage of previous findings on structure-activity/selectivity relationships for a class of 4-quinolone-3-carboxamides, further structural modifications of the heterocyclic scaffold were explored, leading to the discovery of the 8-methoxy derivative 4a endowed with the highest affinity and selectivity ever reported for a CB2 ligand. The compound, evaluated in vivo in the formalin test, behaved as an inverse agonist by reducing at a dose of 6 mg/kg the second phase of the formalin-induced nocifensive response in mice.

The one-pot protocol by the dendritic copper powder-mediated Knoevenagel condensation/annelation is delineated here for the synthesis of 3-amido-2-quinolones. It is practical with moisture tolerance and easy setup, and is compatible with many functional groups under mild conditions. This method was applied for the preparation of the key intermediates of biologically relevant 3-amido-2-quinolones.
