The neuropeptide galanin modulates several physiological functions such as cognition, learning, feeding behavior, and depression, probably via the galanin 1 receptor (GAL-R1). Using an HTS assay based on 125I-human galanin binding to the human galanin-1 receptor (hGAL-R1), we discovered a series of 1,4-dithiin and dithiipine-1,1,4,4-tetroxides that exhibited binding affinity IC50's to hGAL-R1 ranging from 190 to 2700 nM. Two of the dithiepin analogues, 7 and 23, behaved pharmacologically as hGAL-R1 antagonists in secondary assays involving adenylate cyclase activity and GTP binding to G-proteins. Analogues 7 and 23 were also active in functional assays involving galanin, reversing the inhibitory effect of galanin on acetylcholine (ACh) release in rat brain hippocampal slices and electrically-stimulated guinea pig ileum twitch.
神经肽甘丙肽可能通过甘丙肽1型受体(GAL-R1)调节多种生理功能,如认知、学习、摄食行为和抑郁。我们使用基于125I-人甘丙肽与人甘丙肽-1型受体(hGAL-R1)结合的高通量筛选试验,发现了一系列1,4-二硫杂环己二烯和二硫杂环己二烯-1,1,4,4-四氧化物,它们对hGAL-R1的结合亲和力IC50范围为190至2700 nM。在涉及腺苷酸环化酶活性和GTP与G蛋白结合的二级试验中,两种二硫杂环己二烯类似物7和23在药理上表现为hGAL-R1拮抗剂。类似物7和23在涉及甘丙肽的功能试验中也具有活性,可逆转甘丙肽对大鼠脑海马切片中乙酰胆碱(ACh)释放和电刺激豚鼠回肠抽搐的抑制作用。
