Title: Synthesis of substituted N-[3-(3-methoxyphenyl)propyl] amides as highly potent MT(2)-selective melatonin ligands.
Authors: Hu Y, Ho MK, Chan KH, New DC, Wong YH.
Abstract: A series of substituted N-[3-(3-methoxyphenyl)propyl] amides were synthesized and their binding affinities towards human melatonin MT(1) and MT(2) receptors were evaluated. It was discovered that a benzyloxyl substituent incorporated at C6 position of the 3-methoxyphenyl ring dramatically enhanced the MT(2) binding affinity and at the same time decreased MT(1) binding affinity.
