‘Biased’ ligands of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) represent a type of promising analgesic with reduced on-target side effects. PZM21, a potent μ-opioid-receptor (μOR)-biased agonist with a new chemical scaffold compared to classic opioids, has been identified as a therapeutic lead molecule for treating pain. In the current study, novel PZM21 analogues were synthesized and evaluated for their in vitro and in vivo efficacy. Novel compound 7a and PZM21 demonstrated undetectable β-arrestin-2 recruitment, however, their analgesic effects need to be further confirmed. Compounds 7b, 7d, and 7g were stronger analgesics than PZM21 in both the mouse formalin injection assay and the writhing test. Compound 7d was the most potent analogue, requiring a dose that was 1/16th to 1/4th of that of PZM21 for its analgesic activity in the two assays, respectively. Therefore, compound 7d could serve as a lead to develop new biased μOR agonists for treating pain.

G protein-biased mu-opioid receptor (MOR) agonists have been developed as promising new potent analgesic drugs with fewer adverse side effects than standard MOR agonists. PZM21 represents a unique chemotype unrelated to known opioids, which makes it a desirable lead for modification to find analgesics with new chemical entities. In the present study, we synthesized and tested novel PZM21 derivatives as potent biased MOR agonists by introducing a benzodioxolane group to replace the hydroxybenzene of PZM21. The new compounds displayed more potent analgesic activities in vivo and greater bias toward G protein signaling in vitro than did PZM21. These results suggest that the benzodioxolane group is essential for the maintenance of bias. Compounds 7 i ((S)-1-(3-(benzo[d][1,3]dioxol-4-yl)-2-(dimethylamino)propyl)-3-phenethylurea) and 7 j ((S)-1-(3-(benzo[d][1,3]dioxol-4-yl)-2-(dimethylamino)propyl)-3-benzylurea) could serve as new leads for further modifications to find novel biased MOR agonists with greater G protein signaling potency and less β-arrestin-2 recruitment.

This invention relates to thieno tetrahydropyridine and isoquinoline derivative compounds which are useful as antiarrhythmic agents, pharmaceutical compositions comprising such compounds, novel intermediates for their preparation and their methods of use. More particularly these thieno tetrahydropyridine and isoquinoline derivative compounds have been demonstrated to increase the effective refractory period (ERP) of isolated perfused cardiac tissue in vitro.
