A library of compounds targeted to the vasopressin/oxytocin family of receptors was screened for activity at a cloned human oxytocin receptor using a reporter gene assay. Potency and selectivity were optimised to afford compound 39, EC50 = 33 nM. This series of compounds represents the first disclosed, non-peptide, low molecular weight agonists of the hormone oxytocin (OT). (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
Pyrazolo[1,4]diazepines as non-peptidic probes of the oxytocin and vasopressin receptors
摘要:
An improved synthesis of differently substituted pyrazolo[1,4]diazepine compounds is reported. In addition, we have used this methodology to obtain non-peptidic compounds to probe the oxytocin and vasopressin receptors. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
