Chemistry:Tebanicline

From HandWiki

Tebanicline (ebanicline, ABT-594) is a potent synthetic nicotinic (non-opioid) analgesic drug developed by Abbott. It was developed as a less toxic analog of the potent poison dart frog-derived compound epibatidine, which is about 200 times stronger than morphine as an analgesic, but produces extremely dangerous toxic side effects.[1][2] Like epibatidine, tebanicline showed potent analgesic activity against neuropathic pain in both animal and human trials, but with far less toxicity than its parent compound.[3][4][5][6][7][8] It acts as a partial agonist at neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, binding to both the α3β4 and the α4β2 subtypes.[9]

Tebanicline progressed to Phase II clinical trials in humans,[10] but was dropped from further development due to unacceptable incidence of gastrointestinal side effects.[11] However, further research in this area is ongoing,[12][13][14][15] and the development of nicotinic acetylcholine receptor agonists is ongoing.[16][17][18][19] No agents from this class have successfully completed human clinical trials due to their unacceptable side effect profiles.

Alan Kozikowski directed research that resulted in such compounds as Sazetidine A (Saz-A) & LF-3-88.[21][22][23] More recently, an additional codename was identified that has been called VMY-2-95 [1434047-61-6].

Niodene & Nifene are the names of two pyridyl ethers that were recently discovered. Niodene is chemically similar to an agent that was explored by Frank Ivy Carroll at RTI called 5-iodo-A-85380 [213550-82-4] .[24][25] It is credit-worthy in making the observation that in the case of nicotine, the azetidine is the optimal ring size and not the natural pyrrolidine.[26] It was reasoned that because of the increased conformational rigidity of the azetidine ring relative to the pyrrolidine, a secondary amine can be well-tolerated. Although this discovery was considered important, it was further discovered that dimerization of the azetidine ring is possible.[27] This prompted a move away from the azetidine rings back to the more conventional N-methyl-pyrrolidines.

Goldstein reported a series of agents that are based on a cyclopropane ring.[28]
