Abstract:
:In order to determine the function of epinephrine (Epi) in the central nervous system, we have targeted the enzyme that catalyzes the final step in the biosynthesis of Epi, phenylethanolamine N-methyltransferase (PNMT; EC 2.1.1.28). 1,2,3,4-Tetrahydroisoquinolines (THIQs) are inhibitors of this enzyme, but also display affinity for the alpha2-adrenoceptor. To gain further understanding about how THIQs bind at the PNMT active site and in an attempt to further increase the selectivity of THIQ-type inhibitors versus the alpha2-adrenoceptor, a series of cis- and trans-1,3-dimethyl-7-substituted-THIQs were synthesized. Evaluation of these compounds suggests that THIQs bind in two different orientations at the PNMT active site, based on the lipophilicity of the 7-substituent. However, no significant increases in selectivity versus the alpha2-adrenoceptor were observed for these compounds.
