Abstract

We recently described a novel series of diacylpiperazine antagonists of the human neurokinin (NK)-1 receptor. The diacylpiperazine compounds are structurally dissimilar from previously described NK-1 antagonists. L-161,664 [1-(N,N-diphenylaminocarbonyl)-4-(N',N'-di-n-pentylaminocarbony l) piperazine-2-diethylaminopropylcarboxamide] inhibits 125I-substance P binding to the human NK-1 receptor with an IC50 of 43 +/- 21 nM but has 50-fold and 200-fold lower affinity for the human NK-2 and NK-3 receptors, respectively. L-161,664 inhibits substance P-stimulated inositol monophosphate accumulation in Chinese hamster ovary cells expressing the human NK-1 receptor by increasing the EC50 for substance P but not its maximal effect. The compound decreases the apparent affinity of the NK-1 receptor for 125I-substance P and does not alter the rate of dissociation of 125I-substance P from the receptor. These data indicate that L-161,664 is a potent and selective competitive antagonist of the human NK-1 receptor. L-161,664 has reduced affinity for mutants of the NK-1 receptor in which alanine has replaced Gln-165 in transmembrane helix 4, His-197 in helix 5, His-265 in helix 6, or Tyr-287 in helix 7. Similarly, a novel series of acyclic 2-benzhydryl-2-aminoethyl ethers that we have recently shown to be competitive NK-1 receptor antagonists have reduced affinity for the Q165A. H197A, and H265A mutant receptors. These residues have been shown to be important for binding of quinuclidine, tryptophan benzyl ester, and perhydroisoindole antagonists to the receptor. Analysis of the interaction of structural analogs of L-161,664 with the Q165A mutant receptor suggests that this residue interacts with the 2-diethylaminopropylcarboxamide side chain of L-161,664. Thus, even though the diacylpiperazine antagonists are structurally dissimilar from other classes of antagonists described to date, these data suggest that a common antagonist binding site that accomodates much structural diversity is present in the human NK-1 receptor. Furthermore, these data, combined with those obtained from medicinal chemistry approaches, suggest a minimum pharmacophore map for the interaction of these diverse ligands with the NK-1 binding site.
