Novel 3-Pyridyl Ethers with Subnanomolar Affinity for Central Neuronal Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors
Abstract
Recent evidence indicating the therapeutic potential of cholinergic channel modulators for the treatment of central nervous system (CNS) disorders as well as the diversity of brain neuronal nicotine acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) have suggested an opportunity to develop subtype-selective nAChR ligands for the treatment of specific CNS disorders with reduced side effect liabilities. We report a novel series of 3-pyridyl ether compounds which possess subnanomolar affinity for brain nAChRs and differentially activate subtypes of neuronal nAChRs. The synthesis and structure-activity relationships for the leading members of the series are described, including A-85380 (4a), which possesses ca.50 pM affinity for rat brain [(3)H]-(-)-cytisine binding sites and 163% efficacy compared to nicotine to stimulate ion flux at human alpha4beta2 nAChR subtype, and A-84543 (2a), which exhibits 84-fold selectivity to stimulate ion flux at human alpha4beta2 nAchR subtype compared to human ganglionic type nAChRs. Computational studies indicate that a reasonable superposition of a low energy conformer of 4A with (S)-nicotine and (-)-epibatidine can be achieved.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
