Abstract: Herein we report the synthesis, drug-likeness evaluation, and in vitro studies of new sigma (sigma) ligands based on arylalkenylaminic scaffold. For the most active olefin the corresponding arylalkylamine was studied. Novel arylalkenylamines generally possess high sigma(1) receptor affinity (K-i values <25 nM) and good sigma(1)/sigma(2) selectivity (K-i sigma(2) > 100). Particularly, the piperidine derivative (E)-17 and its arylalkylamine analog (R, S)-33 were observed to be excellent sigma(1) receptor ligands (K-i = 0.70 and 0.86 nM, respectively) and to display significantly high selectivity over sigma(2), mu-, and kappa-opioid receptors and phencyclidine (PCP) binding site of the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors. Moreover in PC12 cells (R, S)-33 promoted the nerve growth factor (NGF)-induced neurite outgrowth and elongation. Co-administration of the selective sigma(1) receptor antagonist BD-1063 totally counteracted this effect, confirming that sigma(1) receptors are involved in the (R,S)-33 modulation of the NGF effect in PC12 cells and suggesting a sigma(1) agonist profile. As a part of our work, a threedimensional sigma(1) pharmacophore model was also developed employing GALAHAD methodology. Only active compounds were used for deriving this model. The model included two hydrophobes and a positive nitrogen as relevant features and it was able to discriminate between molecules with and without affinity toward sigma(1) receptor subtype.
