Discovery of novel, orally active dual NK1/NK2 antagonists.
2001
Abstract Exploration of the SAR around selective NK 2 antagonists, SR48968 and ZD7944, led to the discovery that naphth-1-amide analogues provide potent dual NK 1 and NK 2 antagonists. ZD6021 inhibited binding of [ 3 H]-NKA or [ 3 H]-SP to human NK 1 and NK 2 receptors, with high-affinity ( K i =0.12 and 0.62 nM, respectively). In functional assays ZD6021 had, at 10 −7 M, in human pulmonary artery p K B =8.9 and in human bronchus p K B =7.3, for NK 1 and NK 2 , respectively. Oral administration of ZD6021 to guinea pigs dose-dependently attenuated ASMSP induced extravasation of plasma proteins, ED 50 =0.5 mg/kg, and NK 2 mediated bronchoconstriction, ED 50 =13 mg/kg.
