Novel ligands specific for mitochondrial benzodiazepine receptors: 6-arylpyrrolo[2,1-d][1,5]benzothiazepine derivatives. Synthesis, structure-activity relationships, and molecular modeling studies.

A novel class of ligands specific for MBR receptors has been identified: 6-arylpyrrolo[2,1-d][1,5]benzothiazepine derivatives. The majority of newly synthesized esters 37-64 as well as some intermediate ketones showed micro- or nanomolar affinity for [3H]PK 11195 binding inhibition. A SAR study on 42 compounds and a molecular modeling approach led to a preliminary structural selectivity profile: the 6,7-double bond, the carbamoyloxy, alcanoyloxy, and mesyloxy side chains at the 7-position, and the prospective chloro substitution at the 4-position seemed to be the most important structural features improving affinity. Therefore, 7-[(dimethylcarbamoyl)oxy]- and 7-acetoxy-4-chloro-6-phenylpyrrolo[2,1-d][1,5]benzothiazepine (43 and 57) were synthesized. With 7-[(dimethylcarbamoyl)oxy]-6-(p-methoxyphenyl)pyrrolo[2,1- d][1,5]benzothiazepine (65), these were the most promising compounds with IC50s of respectively 9, 8, and 9 nM, under conditions where PK 11195 had an IC50 of 2 nM.[1]
