Unique spirocyclopiperazinium salt III: further investigation of monospirocyclopiperazinium (MSPZ) salts as potential analgesics

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2007 Nov 15;17(22):6245-9. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2007.09.026. Epub 2007 Sep 8.

Abstract

Two novel classes of monospirocyclopiperazinium salts were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their in vivo analgesic activities. Some interesting structure-activity relationships are revealed: (1) Spirocyclopiperazinium moiety is favorable to improve the analgesic activity; (2) The size and conformation of spirocyclopiperazinium moiety significantly affects the analgesic activity; (3) Phenylethyl group of 3d is a crucial pharmacophore. Among the compounds synthesized, 3d exhibited the most potent activity with low toxicity. Further antinociceptive mechanism studies of 3d showed that these compounds will be a new kind of analgesics.
