Abstract
- We designed and synthesized a novel series of piperidine propionamide derivatives as potent sigma-1 (σ <subscript>1</subscript> ) receptor antagonists and mu (μ) opioid receptor agonists, and measured their affinity for σ <subscript>1</subscript> and μ receptors in vitro through binding assays. The basic scaffold of the new compounds contained a 4-substituted piperidine ring and N-aryl propionamide. Compound 44, N-(2-(4-(4-fluorobenzyl) piperidin-1-yl) ethyl)-N-(4-methoxy-phenyl) propionamide, showed the highest affinity for σ <subscript>1</subscript> receptor (K <subscript>i</subscript> σ <subscript>1</subscript>  = 1.86 nM) and μ receptor (K <subscript>i</subscript> μ = 2.1 nM). It exhibited potent analgesic activity in the formalin test (ED <subscript>50</subscript>  = 15.1 ± 1.67 mg/kg) and had equivalent analgesic effects to S1RA (σ <subscript>1</subscript> antagonist) in a CCI model. Therefore, Compound 44, which has mixed σ <subscript>1</subscript> /μ receptor profiles, may be a potential candidate for treating neuropathic pain.<br />Competing Interests: Declaration of competing interest The authors declare that they have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships that could have appeared to influence the work reported in this paper.<br /> (Copyright © 2020 Elsevier Masson SAS.
