Toward Biophysical Probes for the 5-HT3 Receptor: Structure−Activity Relationship Study of Granisetron Derivatives
نویسندگان
چکیده
This report describes the synthesis and biological characterization of novel granisetron derivatives that are antagonists of the human serotonin (5-HT(3)A) receptor. Some of these substituted granisetron derivatives showed low nanomolar binding affinity and allowed the identification of positions on the granisetron core that might be used as attachment points for biophysical tags. A BODIPY fluorophore was appended to one such position and specifically bound to 5-HT(3)A receptors in mammalian cells.

The binding orientations of structurally-related ligands can differ; A cautionary note
Crystal structures can identify ligand-receptor interactions and assist the development of novel therapeutics, but experimental challenges sometimes necessitate the use of homologous proteins. Tropisetron is an orthosteric ligand at both 5-HT3 and α7 nACh receptors and its binding orientation has been determined in the structural homologue AChBP (pdbid: 2WNC). Co-crystallisation with a structur...
متن کاملSynthesis and Characterization of Photoaffinity Probes that Target the 5-HT<sub>3</sub> Receptor
The 5-HT3 receptor is one of several ion channels responsible for the transmission of nerve impulses in the peripheral and central nervous systems. Until now, it has been difficult to characterize transmembrane receptors with classical structural biology approaches like X-ray crystallography. The use of photoaffinity probes is an alternative approach to identify regions in the protein where sma...
متن کاملMethod for individualized evaluation of antiemetic effect induced by 5-HT3 receptor antagonist.
5-HT3 receptor antagonists are widely used for prevention of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting, though their antiemetic effects vary among patients. We investigated a method for evaluation of antiemetic effects in individual patients. We used the 5-HT3 receptor occupancy of serotonin for our evaluation, which was estimated based on the plasma concentration of granisetron and concentratio...

Derivatives of 2-aminothiophene-3-carboxylic ester, -3-carboxamide, or 2-amino-3-cyanothiophene have been found to be important intermediates in the preparation of thienopyrimidines. Therefore they attracted much attention during recent years [1 – 9]. The obtained thienopyrimidine derivatives have found wide application in a variety of synthetic transformations as well as biological activities....
متن کاملThe effect of granisetron, a 5-HT3 receptor antagonist, in the treatment of chronic fatigue syndrome patients--a pilot study.
OBJECTIVE To explore the effect of granisetron, a 5-HT3 antagonist, on fatigue and functional impairment in patients with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). METHODS Five female patients were eligible to receive oral granisetron for one month (1 mg a day for the first two weeks and 2 mg a day for the second two weeks). The patients had to be between 18 and 65 years of age and suffering from CFS a...
