The opioid receptors modulate a variety of biological functions, including pain, mood, and reward. As a result, opioid ligands are being explored as potential therapeutics for a variety of indications. Multifunctional opioid ligands, which act simultaneously at more than one type of opioid receptor, show promise for use in the treatment of addiction, pain, and other conditions. Previously, we reported the creation of bifunctional kappa opioid receptor (KOR) agonist/mu opioid receptor (MOR) partial agonist ligands from the classically delta opioid receptor (DOR) antagonist selective dimethyltyrosine-tetrahydroisoquinoline (Dmt-Tiq) scaffold through the addition of a 7-benzyl pendant on the tetrahydroisoquinoline ring. This study further explores the structure-activity relationships surrounding 7-position pendants on the Dmt-Tiq scaffold. Some analogues maintain a KOR agonist/MOR partial agonist profile, which is being explored in the development of a treatment for cocaine addiction. Others display a MOR agonist/DOR antagonist profile, which has potential to be used in the creation of a less addictive pain medication. Ultimately, we report the synthesis and in vitro evaluation of novel opioid ligands with a variety of multifunctional profiles.

A novel series of GPR40 agonists is designed by introducing nitrogen-containing heterocyclic ring at the terminal phenyl ring of TAK-875 with the aim of decreasing its lipophilicity. Three different β-substituted phenylpropionic acids were investigated as the acidic components. A total of 34 compounds have been synthesized, among which, compound 30 exhibited comparable GPR40 agonistic activity in vitro with TAK-875 and relatively lower lipophilicity through calculation (30, EC50 = 1.2 μM, cLogP = 1.3; TAK-875: EC50 = 5.1 μM, cLogP = 3.4). Moreover, compound 30 was able to enhance the insulin secretion of primary islets isolated from normal ICR mice and showed no obvious inhibition against cytochromes P450 in vitro. In vivo, compound 30 exhibited efficacy in oral glucose tolerance test (oGTT) in normal ICR mice.
