Sippy KB, Anderson DJ, Bunnelle WH, Hutchins CW, Schrimpf MR: Preparation and characterization of N-(3-pyridinyl) spirocyclic diamines as ligands for nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. J Neurochem. 2009 Mar;108(6):1526-38. Epub 2009 Feb 16. Several N-pyridin-3-yl spirobicyclic diamines, designed as conformationally restricted analogs of tebanicline (ABT-594), were synthesized as novel ligands for nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChR). The spirocyclic compounds exhibited weaker binding affinity, than other constrained analogs in accord with a pharmacophore model. Nevertheless, some (1a, 1b) possessed (partial) agonist potencies comparable to nicotine at the alpha4beta2 subtype, but with greatly improved selectivity relative to the alpha3beta4* nAChR. |
