Effect of ring-constrained phenylpropyloxyethylamines on sigma receptors.
2013
Abstract A series of ring-constrained phenylpropyloxyethylamines, partial opioid structure analogs and derivatives of a previously studied sigma (σ) receptor ligand, was synthesized and evaluated at σ and opioid receptors for receptor selectivity. The results of this study identified several compounds with nanomolar affinity at both σ receptor subtypes. Compounds 6 and 9 had the highest selectivity for both σ receptor subtypes, compared to μ opioid receptors. In addition, compounds 6 and 9 significantly reduced the convulsive effects of cocaine in mice, which would be consistent with antagonism of σ receptors.
