摘要:
Two novel classes of monospirocyclopiperazinium salts were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their in vivo analgesic activities. Some interesting structure-activity relationships are revealed: (1) Spirocyclopiperazinium moiety is favorable to improve the analgesic activity; (2) The size and conformation of spirocyclopiperazinium moiety significantly affects the analgesic activity; (3) Phenylethyl group of 3d is a crucial pharmacophore. Among the compounds synthesized, 3d exhibited the most potent activity with low toxicity. Further antinociceptive mechanism studies of 3d showed that these compounds will be a new kind of analgesics.
