RESUMO
A series of 2-sulfonamidopyridine C-region derivatives of 2-(3-fluoro-4-methylsulfonamidophenyl)propanamide were investigated as hTRPV1 ligands. Systematic modification on the 2-sulfonamido group provided highly potent TRPV1 antagonists. The N-benzyl phenylsulfonamide derivatives 12 and 23 in particular showed higher affinities than that of lead compound 1. Compound 12 exhibited strong analgesic activity in the formalin pain model. Docking analysis of its chiral S-form 12S in our hTRPV1 homology model indicated that its high affinity might arise from additional hydrophobic interactions not present in lead compound 1S.

There has been much attention to discover mGluR1 antagonists for treating various central nervous system diseases such as seizures and neuropathic pain. Thienopyrimidinone derivatives were designed, synthesized, and biologically evaluated against mGluR1. Among the synthesized compounds, 3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-7-(o-tolyl)thienopyrimidin-4-one 30 exhibited the most potent inhibitory activity with an IC50 value of 45 nM and good selectivity over mGluR5. Also, the selective mGluR1 antagonist 30 showed marginal hERG channel activity (IC50 = 9.87 µM), good profiles to CYP isozymes, and a good pharmacokinetic profile. Overall, the compound 30 was identified as a selective mGluR1 antagonist with a good pharmacokinetic profile, which is probably devoid of cardiac side effect and drug-drug interactions. Therefore, the compound 30 can be expected to be broadly used as mGluR1 antagonistic chemical probe in in vitro and in vivo study for investigating CNS diseases.

The chiral isomers of the two potent simplified RTX-based vanilloids, compounds 2 and 3, were synthesized employing highly enantioselective PTC alkylation and evaluated as hTRPV1 ligands. The analysis indicated that the R-isomer was the eutomer in binding affinity and functional activity. The agonism of compound 2R was comparable to that of RTX. Docking analysis of the chiral isomers of 3 suggested the basis for its stereospecific activity and the binding mode of 3R.
