| Abstract: | The vanilloid receptor represents a promising target for drug development. Building on our previous strategies which have generated potent agonists for VR1, we now describe a series of novel N-(3-acyloxy-2-benzylpropyl)-N'-dihydroxytetrahydrobenzazepine and tetrahydroisoquinoline thiourea analogues, several of which are potent VR1 antagonists. We report here the rationale for the design, the synthesis, and the in vitro characterization of activity in assays for [(3)H]resiniferatoxin binding and (45)Ca influx using heterologously expressed rat VR1. |
