Four-membered rings remain underexplored motifs despite offering attractive physicochemical properties for medicinal chemistry. Arylacetic acids bearing oxetanes, azetidines, and cyclobutanes are prepared in two steps: a catalytic Friedel-Crafts reaction from four-membered ring alcohol substrates, followed by mild oxidative cleavage. The suitability of the products as building blocks is reflected in their facile purification and amenability to derivatization. Examples include heteroaromatics and aryltriflates, as well as oxetane-derived profen drug analogues and a new endomorphin derivative containing an azetidine amino acid residue.

Recently we reported the synthesis and structure-activity study of endomorphin-1 (EM-1) analogues containing novel, unnatural α-methylene- β-aminopropanoic acids (Map). In the present study, we describe new EM-1 analogues containing Dmt1, (R/S)-βPro2, and (ph)Map4/(2-furyl)Map4. All of the analogues showed a high affinity for the μ-opioid receptor (MOR) and increased stability in mouse brain homogenates. Of the new compounds, Dmt1-(R)-βPro 2-Trp3-(2-furyl)Map4 (analogue 12) displayed the highest affinity toward MOR, in the picomolar range (Ki μ = 3.72 pM). Forskolin-induced cAMP accumulation assays indicated that this analogue displayed an extremely high agonistic potency, in the subpicomolar range (EC50 = 0.0421 pM, Emax = 99.5%). This compound also displayed stronger in vivo antinociceptive activity after iv administration when compared to morphine in the tail-flick test, which indicates that this analogue was able to cross the blood-brain barrier.

Endomorphin-1 (Tyr-Pro-Trp-Phe-NH2, EM-1), an effective analgesic, was efficiently synthesized by a combination of enzymatic and chemical methods. Peptide Boc-Trp-Phe-NH2 was synthesized with a high yield of 97.1% by the solvent-stab
