- Design of potent, orally available antagonists of the transient receptor potential vanilloid 1. Structure-activity relationships of 2-piperazin-1-yl-1H- benzimidazoles
-
The vanilloid receptor-1 (VR1 or TRPV1) is a membrane-bound, nonselective cation channel that is predominantly expressed by peripheral neurons sensing painful stimuli. TRPV1 antagonists produce antihyperalgesic effects in animal models of inflammatory and neuropathic pain. Herein, we describe the synthesis and the structure-activity relationships of a series of 2-(4-pyridin-2- ylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzo-[d]imidazoles as novel TRPV1 antagonists. Compound 46ad was among the most potent analogues in this series. This compound was orally bioavailable in rats and was efficacious in blocking capsaicin-induced flinch in rats in a dose-dependent manner. Compound 46ad also reversed thermal hyperalgesia in a model of inflammatory pain, which was induced by complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA).

- 4-(2-Pyridyl)piperazine-1-benzimidazoles as potent TRPV1 antagonists
-
A series of 4-(2-pyridyl)piperazine-1-benzimidazole analogues based on compound 1 was synthesized and evaluated for TRPV1 antagonist activity in capsaicin-induced (CAP) and pH 5.5-induced (pH) FLIPR assays in a human TRPV1-expressing HEK293 cell line. Potent TRPV1 antagonists were identified through SAR studies. From these studies, several antagonists were found, with IC50 values ranging from 32 nM to ~5000 nM. Among these, 11 [IC50 = 90 nM (CAP) and 104 nM (pH)] was further evaluated and found to be orally available in rats (F% = 19.7).
