4-Aryl-azetidin-2-ones (β-lactams) undergo ring opening with triflic acid to give cinnamamides which, in benzene, react further to give 3-aryl-3-phenyl-propionamides. Prolonged reaction times in benzene give 3,3-diphenyl-propionamide via an aryl/phenyl ex

We recently reported that N-(4-t-butylbenzyl)-N′-[4- (methylsulfonylamino)benzyl] thiourea (2) was a high affinity antagonist of the vanilloid receptor with a binding affinity of Ki=63 nM and an antagonism of Ki=53.9 nM in rat VR1 heterologously expressed in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells (Mol. Pharmacol. 2002, 62, 947-956). In an effort to further improve binding affinity and antagonistic potency, we have modified the C-region of the lead 4-t-butylbenzyl group with diverse surrogates, such as araalkyl, alkyl, 4-alkynylbenzyl, indanyl, 3,3-diarylpropyl, 4-alkoxybenzyl, 4-substituted piperazine and piperidine. The lipophilic surrogates, arylalkyl and alkyl, conferred modest decreases in binding affinities and antagonistic potencies; the groups having heteroatoms resulted in dramatic decreases. Our findings indicate that 4-t-butylbenzyl is one of the most favorable groups for high receptor binding and potent antagonism to VR1 in this structural series.
