The orexin 1 receptor (OXR) antagonists carrying a morphinan skeleton such as YNT-707 (2) and YNT-1310 (3) showed potent and extremely high selective antagonistic activity against OXR. In the course of our study of the essential structure of YNT-707 for high binding affinity against OXR, we prepared derivatives of 2 without the D- and 4,5-epoxy rings to clarify the roles of these structural determinants toward OXR antagonistic activity. The D- and 4,5-epoxy rings played important roles for the active orientation of the 17-sulfonamide and 6-amide side chains. Finally, we identified the simple structure required for selective OXR antagonistic activity in the complex morphinan skeleton, which is expected to be a useful scaffold for further design of OXR ligands.
携带吗啡烷骨架的食欲素 1 受体(OXR)拮抗剂,如 YNT-707(2)和 YNT-1310(3),对 OXR 表现出强大且极高的选择性拮抗活性。在研究 YNT-707 对 OXR 高结合亲和力的基本结构的过程中,我们制备了没有 D-和 4,5-环氧环的 2 的衍生物,以阐明这些结构决定因素对 OXR 拮抗活性的作用。D-和 4,5-环氧环对于 17-磺酰胺和 6-酰胺侧链的活性取向起着重要作用。最后,我们确定了在复杂的吗啡烷骨架中选择性 OXR 拮抗活性所需的简单结构,这有望成为进一步设计 OXR 配体的有用支架。
