[摘要]：Bivalent histamine H-2 receptor (H2R) agonists were synthesized by connecting pharmacophoric 3-(2-amino-4-methylthiazol-5-yl)-, 3-(2-aminothiazol-5-yl)-, 3-(imidazol-4-yl)-, or 3-(1,2,4-triazol-5-yl)propylguanidine moieties by N-G-acylation with alkanedioic acids of various chain lengths. The compounds were investigated for H2R agonism in GTPase and [S-35]GTP gamma S binding assays at guinea pig (gp) and human (h) H2R-Gs alpha(s) fusion proteins including various H2R mutants, at the isolated gp right atrium, and in GTPase assays for activity on recombinant H-1, H-3, and H-4 receptors. The bivalent ligands are H2R partial or full agonists, up to 2 orders of magnitude more potent than monovalent acylguanidines and, with octanedioyl or decanedioyl spacers, up to 4000 times more potent than histamine at the gpH(2)R In contrast to their imidazole analogues, the aminothiazoles are highly selective for H2R vs other HR subtypes. Compounds with (theoretically) sufficient spacer length (20 CH2 groups) to simultaneously occupy two orthosteric binding sites in H2R dimers are nearly inactive, whereas the highest potency resides in compounds with considerably shorter spacers. Thus, there is no evidence for interaction with H2R dimers. The high agonistic potency may result from interaction with an accessory binding site at the same receptor protomer. |
