A novel series of 1,3,5‑trioxazatriquinane with multiple effective residues (TriMER) derivatives with amino-methylene side chains was designed and synthesized based on the docking-simulation results between orexin receptors (OXRs) and TriMER-type OXR antagonists.In vitroscreening against orexin receptors identified six TriMER derivatives with acisside-chain configuration, and, among these,20dand28dshowed full agonist activity against OX2R at a concentration of 10 µM. To determine the absolute stereochemistry of these hit compounds, we also conducted the first asymmetric synthesis of a 1,3,5‑trioxazatriquinane skeleton using a Katsuki–Sharpless asymmetric epoxidation as the key reaction and obtained a set of the individual stereoisomers. After evaluating their activity, (+)-20d(EC50= 3.87 μM for OX2R) and (+)-28d(EC50= 1.62 μM for OX2R) were determined as eutomers for OX2R agonist activity. Our results provide a new class of skeleton consisting of an (R)-1,3,5‑trioxazatriquinane core with flexible methylene linkers and hydrophobic substituents at the terminals of the side chains via carbamates/sulfonamides as OX2R agonists.
