The effects of methoxy-substitution at the 1-, 2-, 3-, and 4-positions of 9-aminomethyl-9,10-dihydroanthracene (AMDA) on h5-HT(2A) receptor affinity were determined. Racemic mixtures of these compounds were found to show the following affinity trend: 3-MeO > 4-MeO > 1-MeO approximately 2-MeO. Comparison of the effects of these substitutions, with the aid of computational molecular modeling techniques, suggest that the various positional and stereochemical isomers of the methoxy-substituted AMDA compounds interact differently with the h5-HT(2A) receptor. It is predicted that for the compounds with higher affinities, the methoxy oxygen atom is able to interact with hydrogen bond-donating sidechains within alternative h5-HT(2A) receptor binding sites, whereas the lower-affinity isomers lack this ability.
测定了9-氨甲基-9,10-二氢蒽(AMDA)的1-、2-、3-和4-位甲氧基取代对h5-HT(2A)受体亲和力的影响。发现这些化合物的外消旋混合物呈现以下亲和力趋势:3-甲氧基>4-甲氧基>1-甲氧基≈2-甲氧基。借助计算分子建模技术对这些取代作用的影响进行比较,结果表明甲氧基取代的AMDA化合物的各种位置和立体化学异构体与h5-HT(2A)受体的相互作用方式不同。据预测,对于具有较高亲和力的化合物,甲氧基氧原子能够与h5-HT(2A)受体不同结合位点内的氢键供体侧链相互作用,而亲和力较低的异构体则缺乏这种能力。
