Abstract:
:Here we report the new drug design and synthesis of a series of 6,14-endoethenomorphinan-7-carboxamide derivatives as a putative epsilon opioid receptor agonist. One of these compounds, 17-(cyclopropylmethyl)-4,5alpha-epoxy-3,6beta-dihydroxy-6,14-endoethenomorphinan-7alpha-(N-methyl-N-phenethyl)carboxamide (TAN-821), showed agonistic activity for a putative epsilon opioid receptor (IC(50) = 71.71nM) in the rat vas deferens (RVD) preparations. TAN-821 stimulated the binding of the nonhydrolyzable guanosine 5'-triphosphate analog, guanosine 5'-(gamma-thio)-triphosphate (GTPgammaS), to the mouse pons/medulla membrane via the activation of putative epsilon opioid receptor. Moreover, TAN-821 given intracerebroventricularly (i.c.v.) produced a marked antinociception in the tail-flick test (ED(50) = 1.73 microg) and the hot-plate test (ED(50) = 2.05 microg) in a dose-dependent manner. The antinociception induced by TAN-821 administered i.c.v. was blocked by the i.c.v.-pretreatment with a putative epsilon opioid receptor partial agonist beta-endorphin [1-27], but not a mu opioid receptor antagonist beta-FNA, a delta opioid receptor antagonist NTI, or a kappa opioid receptor antagonist nor-BNI. The present results suggest that TAN-821 may be a useful tool for the investigation on the pharmacological properties of the putative epsilon opioid receptor.
