RESUMO
The present investigation examined two features of arylbiguanide and arylguanidine 5-HT(3) ligands: conformation and partition coefficients. Several conformationally-constrained analogues of mCPBG (2) and mCPG (11; K(i)=32 nM) were prepared and of these only 2-amino-5-chloro-3,4-dihydroquinazoline (14; K(i)=34 nM) retained high affinity. The partition coefficient of compound 11 (LogP(app)=-0.64) was less than that of its corresponding arylbiguanide 2 (LogP(app)=-0.38). The quinazoline structure may represent a pharmacologically-active conformation of these agents, and the arylbiguanides were found more lipid soluble than their arylguanidine counterparts at physiological pH.
