Structure-activity relationships of diphenylpiperazine N-type calcium channel inhibitors

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2010 Feb 15;20(4):1378-83. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2010.01.008. Epub 2010 Jan 7.

Abstract

A novel series of compounds derived from the previously reported N-type calcium channel blocker NP118809 (1-(4-benzhydrylpiperazin-1-yl)-3,3-diphenylpropan-1-one) is described. Extensive SAR studies resulted in compounds with IC(50) values in the range of 10-150 nM and selectivity over the L-type channels up to nearly 1200-fold. Orally administered compounds 5 and 21 exhibited both anti-allodynic and anti-hyperalgesic activity in the spinal nerve ligation model of neuropathic pain.
