type-2 receptor (CB2R) ligands. With the aim to improve their physicochemical properties, basically aqueous solubility, two different approaches were followed, entailing the substitution of the alkyl chain with a basic replacement or scaffold modification to 4-hydroxy-2-quinolone structure. According to the first approach, compound 6d was obtained, showing slightly reduced receptor affinity (Ki = 60
长期以来,人们公认4-喹诺酮-3-羧酰胺衍生物是有效的选择性大麻素2型受体(CB2R)配体。为了改善其理化性质,基本上是水溶性,采用了两种不同的方法,即用对4-羟基-2-喹诺酮结构的碱性取代或支架修饰来取代烷基链。根据第一种方法,获得化合物6d,与先导化合物4相比,其受体亲和力略有降低(K i = 60 nM)(0.8 nM),但溶解度大大提高(取决于培养基的pH值,为400-3400倍)。另一方面,从4-喹诺酮结构转变为4-羟基-2-喹诺酮结构使得能够发现一类新型的CB2R配体,例如7b和7c,其特征在于K i <1 nM和选择性指数[SI = K i(CB1R)/ K i(CB2R)]>1300。在pH 7.4下,化合物7c的溶解度比4高100倍。
