Page/Page column 96-97, (2014/10/04)
The invention provides modulators of the nociceptin receptor (NOP), including both agonists and antagonists. A compound of the invention can be a selective modulator of NOP with respect to the μ- and κ- opioid receptors (MOP and KOP), thus providing a therapeutic method for the treatment of conditions wherein selective NOP modulation is medically indicated and MOP or KOP modulation may be less desirable. A compound of the invention can be a NOP full agonist, partial agonist, inverse agonist, positive or negative allosteric modulator, or a functionally biased agonist. A compound of the invention can be used for the treatment of an anxiety state, post-traumatic stress disorder, addictive disorders (including overuse of alcohol, tobacco, and drugs of abuse such as cocaine, amphetamines, and opitates), misregulated food intake and/or energy expenditure, cough, sleep disorders, migraine, pain, depression, or neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinsons disease or Alzheimers disease.

Compound 1 obtained by random screening and displaying a micromolar activity on the μ opiate receptor was chosen as a starting point for optimization. Two complementary concepts of similarity were used for the design of analogues and compared. These are based, respectively, on a computer-aided comparison of pharmacophoric patterns and on topological similarity. The structure-activity relationships are discussed in light of both similarity concepts. Compound 40, an N-methyl-3-(4-oxo-1-phenyl-1,3,8-triazaspiro[4.5]decyl)acetamide derivative, designed by combining the structure-activity relationships enlightened by each method, has a subnanomolar affinity for μ (h) receptor (IC50=0.9 nM). It is a promising lead, allowing the design of a new series of analogues substituted at the N-3 of the spirocycle moiety.
