Sigma (σ) receptors are unique non‐opioid binding sites that are associated with a broad range of disease states. Sigma‐2 receptors provide a promising target for diagnostic imaging and pharmacological interventions to curb tumor progression. Most recently, the progesterone receptor (PGRMC1, 25 kDa) has been shown to have σ2 receptor‐like binding properties, thus highlighting the need to understand the biological function of an 18 kDa protein that exhibits σ2‐like photoaffinity labeling (denoted here as σ2‐18k) but the amino acid sequence of which is not known. In order to provide new tools for the study of the σ2‐18k protein, we have developed bifunctional σ receptor ligands each bearing a benzophenone photo‐crosslinking moiety and an alkyne group to which an azide‐containing biotin affinity tag can be covalently attached through click chemistry after photo‐crosslinking. Although several compounds showed favorable σ2 binding properties, the highest affinity (2 nM) and the greatest potency in blocking photolabeling of σ2‐18k by a radioactive photoaffinity ligand was shown by compound22. These benzophenone‐alkyne σ receptor ligands might therefore be amenable for studying the σ2‐18k protein through chemical biology approaches. To the best of our knowledge, these compounds represent the first reported benzophenone‐containing clickable σ receptor ligands, which might potentially have broad applications based on the “plugging in” of various tags.
