Previous studies have shown that compound 1 displayed high affinity towards histamine H3 receptor (H3R), (human (h-H3R), K(i)=8.6 nM, rhesus monkey (rh-H3R), K(i)=1.2 nM, and rat (r-H3R), K(i)=16.5 nM), but exhibited high affinity for hERG channel. Herein, we report the discovery of a novel, potent, and highly selective H3R antagonist/inverse agonist 5a(SS) (SAR110068) with acceptable hERG channel selectivity and desirable pharmacological and pharmacokinetic properties through lead optimization sequence. The significant awakening effects of 5a(SS) on sleep-wake cycles studied by using EEG recording in rats during their light phase support its potential therapeutic utility in human sleep-wake disorders.
先前的研究表明,化合物 1 对组胺 H3 受体(H3R)具有高亲和力(人源(h-H3R),K(i)=8.6 nM,恒河猴(rh-H3R),K(i)=1.2 nM,大鼠(r-H3R),K(i)=16.5 nM),但对 hERG 通道具有高亲和力。在此,我们通过对先导化合物进行优化,报道了一种新型、强效、高选择性的 H3R 拮抗剂/反向激动剂 5a(SS)(SAR110068)的发现,该化合物具有可接受的 hERG 通道选择性以及理想的药理学和药代动力学特性。通过在大鼠的光照阶段使用 EEG 记录研究 5a(SS) 对睡眠-觉醒周期的显著唤醒作用,支持其在人类睡眠-觉醒障碍中的潜在治疗用途。
