Development of a new type of allosteric modulator of muscarinic receptors: hybrids of the antagonist AF-DX 384 and the hexamethonio derivative W84

J Med Chem. 2004 Jun 3;47(12):3324-7. doi: 10.1021/jm031095t.

Abstract

Various fragments of the hexamethonio-type allosteric agent W84 were linked to the secondary amino group of the muscarinic M(2) acetylcholine receptor-preferring antagonist AF-DX 384 to increase the area of attachment with the allosteric site. Addition of only the phthalimido moiety of W84 gave an allosteric enhancer of NMS binding. Thus, a new lead structure for the development of allosteric enhancers of NMS binding has been discovered.
