Abstract
The chiral isomers of the two potent simplified RTX-based vanilloids, compounds 2 and 3, were synthesized employing highly enantioselective PTC alkylation and evaluated as hTRPV1 ligands. The analysis indicated that the R-isomer was the eutomer in binding affinity and functional activity. The agonism of compound 2R was comparable to that of RTX. Docking analysis of the chiral isomers of 3 suggested the basis for its stereospecific activity and the binding mode of 3R.
