Abstract
Hodgkinsine, a trimeric pyrrolidinoindoline type alkaloid, present as a major constituent of Psychotria spp. (Rubiaceae), has shown to produce dose-dependent, naloxone reversible, analgesic effect in thermal models of nociception and the capsaicin-induced pain. SAR studies have been initiated by synthesizing the three diastereomeric dimers (chimonanthines) (11-13) which were evaluated in vitro and in vivo along with the synthetic intermediates. Strong binding affinities for mu opioid receptors were found for (-)- and (+)-chimonanthine monourethanes (9 and 10), whereas (-)-, (+)- and (meso)-chimonanthine (11-13) and hodgkinsine displayed low affinity. In vivo data have shown that only (+)-chimonanthine (12) and calycosidine resemble the analgesic profile found for hodgkinsine.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
