Sanofi Recherche, SR 142948A,
2-{[5-(2,6-dimethoxyphenyl)-1-(4-(N-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-N-methylcarbamoyl)-2-isopropylphenyl)-1H-pyrazole-3-carbonyl]amino}adamantane-2-carboxylic acid, hydrochloride, a new and extremely potent neurotensin (NT) receptor antagonist, has been characterized in comparison with SR
48692. This selective compound possesses nanomolar affinities for NT
receptors, recognizes the two binding sites described for the NT
receptor and fully displaces [3H]SR 48692 specific
binding. SR 142948A antagonizes the classical in vitro
NT effects, i.e., inositol monophosphate formation in HT
29 cells (IC50 = 3.9 nM) or intracellular calcium
mobilization in Chinese hamster ovary cells transfected with the human
receptor. It dose-dependently (0.04-640 × 10
3
mg/kg p.o.) inhibits the turning behavior induced by unilateral intrastriatal injection of NT in mice, with the biphasic profile previously seen for SR 48692. At 0.1 mg/kg (i.p.), it completely antagonizes NT-evoked acetylcholine release in the rat striatum. In
contrast to SR 48692, SR 142948A (p.o.) blocks both hypothermia and
analgesia induced by i.c.v. injection of NT (mice and/or rats) but is
unable to modify the dopamine release evoked by NT injection into the
ventral tegmental area. In summary, SR 142948A retains the properties
of the lead compound SR 48692 (no intrinsic agonist activity, oral
bioavailability, long duration of action and good brain access),
reveals a wider spectrum of activity than SR 48692 (probably due to the
inhibition of NT receptor subtypes) and represents an additional tool
for further exploration of the therapeutic potential of this class of
compounds.
