Discovery of Benzopyridone-Based Transient Receptor Potential Vanilloid 1 Agonists and Antagonists and the Structural Elucidation of Their Activity Shift

초록/요약

Among a series of benzopyridone-based scaffolds investigated as human transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) ligands, two isomeric benzopyridone scaffolds demonstrated a consistent and distinctive functional profile in which 2-oxo-1,2-dihydroquinolin-5-yl analogues (e.g., 2) displayed high affinity and potent antagonism, whereas 1-oxo-1,2-dihydroisoquinolin-5-yl analogues (e.g., 3) showed full agonism with high potency. Our computational models provide insight into the agonist-antagonist boundary of the analogues suggesting that the Arg557 residue in the S4-S5 linker might be important for sensing the agonist binding and transmitting signals. These results provide structural insights into the TRPV1 and the protein-ligand interactions at a molecular level. ©
