A series of substituted N-[3-(3-methoxyphenyl)propyl] amides were synthesized and their binding affinities towards human melatonin MT(1) and MT(2) receptors were evaluated. It was discovered that a benzyloxyl substituent incorporated at C6 position of the 3-methoxyphenyl ring dramatically enhanced the MT(2) binding affinity and at the same time decreased MT(1) binding affinity.
合成了一系列取代的N-[3-(3-甲氧基苯基)丙基]酰胺,并评估了它们对人褪黑素MT(1)和MT(2)受体的结合亲和力。发现3-甲氧基苯环C6位引入苄氧基取代基可显著增强MT(2)结合亲和力,同时降低MT(1)结合亲和力。
