Analogues of the P2X(7) receptor antagonist KN-62, modified at the piperazine and arylsulfonyl groups, were synthesized and assayed at the human P2X(7) receptor for inhibition of BzATP-induced effects, that is, uptake of a fluorescent dye (ethidium bromide) in stably transfected HEK293 cells and IL-1beta release in differentiated THP-1 cells. Substitution of the arylsulfonyl moiety with a nitro group increased antagonistic potency relative to methyl substitution, such that compound 21 was slightly more potent than KN-62. Substitution with D-tyrosine in 36 and sterically bulky tyrosyl 2,6-dimethyl groups [corrected] in 9 enhanced antagonistic potency.
合成了在哌嗪和芳基磺酰基上进行修饰的P2X(7)受体拮抗剂KN-62类似物,并在人P2X(7)受体上进行检测,以抑制BzATP诱导的效应,即稳定转染的HEK293细胞中荧光染料(溴化乙锭)的摄取以及分化的THP-1细胞中IL-1β的释放。相对于甲基取代,用硝基取代芳基磺酰基部分可提高拮抗效力,使得化合物21的效力略高于KN-62。在36位用D-酪氨酸取代以及在9位用空间位阻较大的酪氨酰2,6-二甲基取代可增强拮抗效力。
