Abstract

Structure-activity relationships for the A-region in a series of N-4-t-butylbenzyl 2-(4-methylsulfonylaminophenyl) propanamides as TRPV1 antagonists have been investigated. Among them, the 3-fluoro analogue 54 showed high binding affinity and potent antagonism for both rTRPV1 and hTRPV1 in CHO cells. Its stereospecific activity was demonstrated with marked selectivity for the (S)-configuration (54S versus 54R). A docking study of 54S with our hTRPV1 homology model highlighted crucial hydrogen bonds between the ligand and the receptor contributing to its potency.
