RESUMO
Several novel N-type voltage sensitive calcium channel blockers showed high affinity in the IMR32 assay and efficacy in the anti-writhing model. Herein, we describe the design, synthesis, SAR studies, biological data, physicochemical properties and pharmacokinetics of this 4-piperidinylaniline series.

Our drug discovery efforts for N-type calcium channel blockers in the 4-piperidinylaniline series led to the discovery of an orally active analgesic agent 26.1-[4-Dimethylamino-benzyl)-piperidin-4-yl]-[4-(3,3-dimethyl-but yl)-phenyl]-(3-methyl-but-2-enyl)amine (26) showed high affinity to functionally block N-type calcium channels (IC50=0.7 microM in the IMR32 assay) and exhibited high efficacy in the anti-writhing analgesia test with mice (ED50=12 mg/kg by po and 4 mg/kg by iv). In this report, the rationale for the design, synthesis, biological evaluation, and pharmacokinetics of this series of blockers is described.
