We designed and synthesized a novel series of piperidine propionamide derivatives as potent sigma-1 (σ) receptor antagonists and mu (μ) opioid receptor agonists, and measured their affinity for σ and μ receptors in vitro through binding assays. The basic scaffold of the new compounds contained a 4-substituted piperidine ring and N-aryl propionamide. Compound 44, N-(2-(4-(4-fluorobenzyl) piperidin-1-yl) ethyl)-N-(4-methoxy-phenyl) propionamide, showed the highest affinity for σ receptor (K σ = 1.86 nM) and μ receptor (K μ = 2.1 nM). It exhibited potent analgesic activity in the formalin test (ED = 15.1 ± 1.67 mg/kg) and had equivalent analgesic effects to S1RA (σ antagonist) in a CCI model. Therefore, Compound 44, which has mixed σ/μ receptor profiles, may be a potential candidate for treating neuropathic pain.
我们设计并合成了一系列新型哌啶丙酰胺衍生物,作为有效的 sigma-1(σ)受体拮抗剂和μ(μ)阿片受体激动剂,并通过结合测定法在体外测量它们对 σ 和 μ 受体的亲和力。新化合物的基本骨架包含 4-取代的哌啶环和 N-芳基丙酰胺。化合物 44,N-(2-(4-(4-氟苄基)哌啶-1-基)乙基)-N-(4-甲氧基-苯基)丙酰胺,对 σ 受体(K σ = 1.86 nM)和 μ 受体(K μ = 2.1 nM)表现出最高的亲和力。它在福马林测试中表现出很强的镇痛活性(ED = 15.1 ± 1.67 mg/kg),并且在 CCI 模型中与 S1RA(σ 拮抗剂)具有等效的镇痛作用。因此,具有混合 σ/μ 受体特征的化合物 44 可能是治疗神经性疼痛的潜在候选药物。
