Synthesis and evaluation of pyridazinylpiperazines as vanilloid receptor 1 antagonists.
A structurally biased chemical library of pyridazinylpiperazine analogs was prepared in an effort to improve the pharmaceutical and pharmacological profile of the lead compound N-(4-tertiarybutylphenyl)-4-(3-chloropyridin-2-yl)tetrahydropyrazine-1(2H)-carboxamide (BCTC). The library was evaluated for VR1 antagonist activity in capsaicin-induced (CAP) and pH5.5-induced (pH) FLIPR assays in a human VR1-expressing HEK293 cell line. The most potent VR1 antagonists were found to have IC(50) values in the range of 9-200nM with improved pharmaceutical and pharmacological profiles versus the lead BCTC. These compounds represent possible second-generation BCTC analogs.
