Derivatives of the lead compound N-BPE-8-CAC (1) where each CH of the biphenyl group was individually replaced by N were prepared in hopes of identifying high affinity ligands with improved aqueous solubility. Compared to 1, binding affinities of the five possible pyridinyl derivatives for the mu opioid receptor were between threefold lower to fivefold higher with the K-i of the most potent compound being 0.064 nM. Docking of 8-CAC (2) into the unliganded binding site of the mouse mu opioid receptor (pdb: 4DKL) revealed that 8-CAC and beta-FNA (from 4DKL) make nearly identical interactions with the receptor. However, for 1 and the new pyridinyl derivatives 4-8, binding is not tolerated in the 8-CAC binding mode due to the steric constraints of the large N-substituents. Either an alternative binding mode or rearrangement of the protein to accommodate these modifications may account for their high binding affinity. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
