Abstract
A series of 2-alkyl/alkenyl pyridine C-region derivatives of 2-(3-fluoro-4-methylsulfonylaminophenyl)propanamides were investigated as hTRPV1 antagonists. Multiple compounds showed excellent and stereospecific TRPV1 antagonism with better potency than previous lead 2. Among them, compound 15f demonstrated a strong analgesic profile in a rat neuropathic pain model and blocked capsaicin-induced hypothermia in a dose-dependent manner. Docking analysis of (S)-15f with our hTRPV1 homology model provided insight into its specific binding mode.
