J. Lee et al., 3-acyloxy-2-phenalkylpropyl amides and esters of homovanillic acid as novel vanilloid receptor agonists, BIOORG MED, 9(20), 1999, pp. 2909-2914
A series of 3-acyloxy-2-phenalkylpropyl amides and eaters of homovanillic a
cid were designed and synthesized as vanilloid receptor agonists containing
the three principal pharmacophores of resiniferatoxin. Amide analogues 23,
5 and II were found to be potent agonists in vanilloid receptor assay both
for ligand binding and for activation. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All
