Abstract

Diazaspirocyclic ligands have been synthesized in four steps as selective α4β2 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor antagonists. Structural assignment of 1-(pyridin-3-yl)-2-spiropyrrolidino-3,2′-1-azabiclo[2.2.1]heptane 2, was confirmed using a combination of NMR experiments on a key intermediate, spirolactam 9. All three target compounds synthesized in this diazaspirocyclic series exhibited high affinity (Ki <35 nM) at the human α4β2 nAChR subtype, and very low affinity for the human α7, α3β4 (ganglion) and α1β1γδ (muscle) subtypes (Ki >500 nM).
