Cannabinoid receptor agonists have gained attention as potential therapeutic targets of inflammatory and neuropathic pain.

Abstract

Cannabinoid receptor agonists have gained attention as potential therapeutic targets of inflammatory and neuropathic pain. Here, we report the identification and optimization of a series of 7-oxo- [1,4]oxazino[2,3,4-ij]quinoline-6-carboxamide derivatives as a novel chemotype of selective cannabinoid CB2 receptor agonists. Structural modifications led to the identification of several compounds as potent and selective cannabinoid receptor agonists (20: hCB2 Ki = 2.5 nM, SI = 166; 21: hCB2 Ki = 0.81 nM, SI = 383; 38: hCB2 Ki = 15.8 nM, SI > 633; 56: hCB2 Ki = 8.12 nM, SI > 1231; (R)-58: hCB2 Ki = 9.24 nM, SI > 1082). The effect of a chiral center on the biological activity was also investigated and it was found that the (R)-enantiomers exhibited greater affinity at the CB2 receptor than the (S)-enantiomers. In 3,5-cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) assays, the novel series behaved as agonists, exhibiting functional activity at the human CB2 receptor.
