1,2,3,4-Tetrahydroisoquinoline (THIQ) and aryl-substituted derivatives of THIQ are potent inhibitors of the enzyme that catalyzes the formation of epinephrine - phenylethanolamine N-methyltransferase (PNMT, E.C. 2.1.1.28).In previous studies, we found that substitution of the 3-position of THIQ with a methyl group resulted in enhanced activity as an inhibitor for 3-methyl-THIQ (8) with respect to THIQ itself.To more fully delineate this region of the PNMT active site, we have synthesized and evaluated other 3-substituted THIQ analogues that vary in both steric and electronic character.Extension of the methyl side chain in 8 by a single methylene unit results in diminished potency for 3-ethyl-THIQ (13), suggesting that this zone of the active site is spatially compact; furthermore, the region of steric intolerance may be located principally on only "one side" of the 3-position of bound THIQs, since the carbonyl containing (bent) analogues 3-(methoxycarbonyl)-THIQ (10) and 3-(aminocarbonyl)-THIQ (12) are much less capable of forming a strong enzyme-inhibitor dissociable complex compared to straight-chain derivatives possessing a similar steric component.The good activity of 3-(hydroxymethyl)-THIQ (11) as a PNMT inhibitor cannot be explained solely by steric tolerance for this side chain.We believe that an active-site amino acid residue capable of specific (i.e., hydrogen bond) interactions is located in close proximity to the 3-position of bound THIQs and that association of the OH functionality with this active-site residue results in the enhanced in vitro potency of this analogue (Ki = 2.4 μM) compared to that of THIQ (Ki = 10.3 μM).Incorporation of a hydroxymethyl substituent onto the 3-position of the potent PNMT inhibitor 7,8-dichloro-THIQ (SKF 64139, Ki = 0.24 μM) did not result in the same enhancement in inhibitor potency for 17 (Ki = 0.38 μM).This result suggests that simultaneous binding in an optional orientation of the aromatic halogens, secondary amine, and side-chain hydroxyl functionalities to the PNMT active site is not allowed in this analogue.
