title: Improving the affinity and selectivity of a nonpeptide series of cholecystokinin-B/gastrin receptor antagonists based on the dibenzobicyclo[2.2.2]octane skeleton.
abstract: We have recently described a novel series of nonpeptidic cholecystokinin-B (CCKB)/gastrin receptor antagonists based on a dibenzobicyclo[2.2.2]octane skeleton. We wish now to report on compounds arising out of our earlier work which have substantially greater affinity as antagonists for the CCKB/gastrin receptor system and which maintain, or improve on, the already high selectivity with respect to CCKA receptors. Thus, cis-7-[[[(1S)-[[3,5-dicarboxy-phenyl)amino]carbonyl]-2- phenylethyl]amino]carbonyl]-8-[[(1-adamantylmethyl)amino]- carbonyl]-2,3:5,6-dibenzobicyclo[2.2.2]octane expressed a pKi of 8.80 in mouse cortical membranes at CCKB/gastrin receptors. The selectivity for these receptors over CCKA receptors was in the order of 1000-fold.
