Synthesis and pharmacological evaluation of potent and enantioselective sigma 1, and sigma 2 ligands. |

Abstract | In a previous study we found that substitutions of the (+)-cis-N-normetazocine nucleus of (+)-MPCB with 1-adamantanamine provide the compound (+/-)-10 with high affinity and selectivity for sigma receptors. Starting with this result we have synthesized a new series of eight 1-phenyl-2-cyclopropylmethylamines structurally related to (+/-)-10, and binding affinities, with respect to sigma 1, sigma 2, opioid and dopaminergic D2 receptors, have been reported. All compounds showed a negligible opioid and dopaminergic affinity and high selectivity for sigma receptors. Modifications on the amino moiety and methylcarboxyester group of 10 provide compounds with different sigma 1 and sigma 2 binding affinity and selectivity. Moreover, we have also synthesized the respective enantiomers of componds (+/-)-10 and (+/-)-18 in order to evaluate the enantioselectivity for sigma 1 and sigma 2 receptors. The binding data showed that carboxymethylester on the cyclopropane ring was more critical for enantioselectivity than the hydroxymethylenic group. In fact, the (-)-10 enantiomer showed a preference for sigma 1 whereas (+)-10 showed a preference for sigma 2 | ||||
