This Letter describes the continued optimization of the MLPCN probe molecule ML071. After introducing numerous cyclic constraints and novel substitutions throughout the parent structure, we produced a number of more highly potent agonists of the M(1) mACh receptor. While many novel agonists demonstrated a promising ability to increase soluble APPα release, further characterization indicated they may be functioning as bitopic agonists. These results and the implications of a bitopic mode of action are presented.
这封信描述了 MLPCN 探针分子 ML071 的持续优化。在对母体结构进行了大量的环状约束和新颖取代后,我们产生了一些更有效的 M1 毒蕈碱受体激动剂。虽然许多新型激动剂显示出有希望增加可溶性 APPα 释放的能力,但进一步的特征表明它们可能作为双位点激动剂发挥作用。这些结果和双位点作用模式的意义将被呈现。
