Targeting 5-HT receptor (5-HTR) as a strategy for CNS disorders and pain control.
A series of 1,3-dioxolane-based 2-heteroaryl-phenoxyethylamines was synthesized by a convergent approach and evaluated at α-adrenoceptors and 5-HTR by binding and functional experiments. Absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion and toxicity prediction studies were performed to explore the drug-likeness of the compounds.
RESULTS & CONCLUSION: The most promising compound, the pyridin-4-yl derivative, emerged as a potent and selective 5-HTR agonist (pKi = 9.2; pD2 = 8.83; 5-HT/α1 = 135). In vitro it was able to permeate by passive diffusion MDCKII-MDR1 monolayer mimicking the blood-brain barrier and showed promising neuroprotective activity.
将 5-羟色胺受体(5-HTR)作为治疗中枢神经系统疾病和疼痛的靶点。
通过会聚方法合成了一系列基于 1,3-二氧戊环的 2-杂芳基苯氧乙胺,并通过结合和功能实验在 α-肾上腺素能受体和 5-HTR 上进行了评估。进行了吸收、分布、代谢、排泄和毒性预测研究,以探索化合物的类药性。
最有前途的化合物,吡啶-4-基衍生物,作为一种有效的、选择性的 5-HTR 激动剂出现(pKi=9.2;pD2=8.83;5-HT/α1=135)。它在体外能够通过模拟血脑屏障的 MDCKII-MDR1 单层的被动扩散渗透,并且表现出有希望的神经保护活性。
