Title: From dopamine 4 to sigma 1: Synthesis, SAR and biological characterization of a piperidine scaffold of σ1 modulators.
Authors: Tolentino KT, Mashinson V, Sharma MK, Chhonker YS, Murry DJ, Hopkins CR.
Abstract: The sigma 1 receptor is a multifunctional receptor with wide distribution in the nervous system and its function has been implicated with a number of neurological disorders including dementia and Alzheimer's disease (AD) and other neurodegenerative disorders. In addition, modulators of σ1 have been advanced into clinical trials for the treatment of pain. Starting from our previously disclosed piperidine scaffold, we have identified a class of potent sigma 1 modulators. This work highlights the key SAR components that lead to the divergence in D4 and σ1 activity. In addition, we further profile lead compounds in a panel of off-target receptors, in vitro and in vivo pharmacokinetic studies. This has culminated in the discovery of multiple σ1 receptor modulators with properties that will allow for study in animal models.
