A series of 17-cyclopropylmethyl-3,14β-dihydroxy-4,5α-epoxy-6α-(isoquinoline-3′-carboxamido)morphinan (NAQ) analogues were synthesized and pharmacologically characterized to study their structure-activity relationship at the mu opioid receptor (MOR). The competition binding assay showed two-atom spacer and aromatic side chain were optimal for MOR selectivity. Meanwhile, substitutions at the 1′- and/or 4′-position of the isoquinoline ring retained or improved MOR selectivity over the kappa opioid receptor while still possessing above 20-fold MOR selectivity over the delta opioid receptor. In contrast, substitutions at the 6′- and/or 7′-position of the isoquinoline ring reduced MOR selectivity as well as MOR efficacy. Among this series of ligands, compound 11 acted as an antagonist when challenged with morphine in warm-water tail immersion assay and produced less significant withdrawal symptoms compared to naltrexone in morphine-pelleted mice. Compound 11 also antagonized the intracellular Ca2+ increase induced by DAMGO. Molecular dynamics simulation studies of 11 in three opioid receptors indicated orientation of the 6′-nitro group varied significantly in the different 'address' domains of the receptors and played a crucial role in the observed binding affinities and selectivity. Collectively, the current findings provide valuable insights for future development of NAQ-based MOR selective ligands.

Quinoline, isoquinoline, quinoxaline, and quinazoline derivatives were synthesized using microwave-assisted synthesis and their CB1/CB2 receptor activities were determined using the [35S]GTPγS binding assay. Most of the prepared quinoline, isoquinoline, and quinoxalinyl phenyl amines showed low-potency partial CB2 receptor agonists activity. The most potent CB2 ligand was the 4-morpholinylmethanone derivative (compound 40e) (-log EC 50 = 7.8; Emax = 75%). The isoquinolin-1-yl(3- trifluoromethyl-phenyl)amine (compound 26c) was a high efficacy CB2 agonist (-log EC50 = 5.8; Emax = 128%). No significant CB1 receptor activation or inactivation was shown in these studies, except 40e, which showed weak CB1 agonist activity (CB1 -log EC50 = 5.0). These ligands serve as novel templates for the development of selective CB2 receptor agonist.

In connection with our research of new antitumor compounds, previously undescribed approaches to the 1-(2-chlorophenyl)isoquinoline-3-carboxylic acid 9 are reported here. Two related accesses from phenylethylamine or amphetamine were investigated and were found to be successful. A more robust synthesis, using Suzuki's cross-coupling between 2-chlorophenylboronic acid 15 and the previously unreported methyl-1-bromoisoquinoline-3-carboxylate 14 was also developed. This synthetic route provides the ground for a combinatorial approach to the core structure of new potential peripheral benzodiazepine receptor ligands.
