N,N-dialkyl-dipeptidylamines as novel N-type calcium channel blockers

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 1999 Mar 22;9(6):907-12. doi: 10.1016/s0960-894x(99)00100-6.

Abstract

Selective N-type voltage sensitive calcium channel (VSCC) blockers have shown utility in several models of stroke and pain. We are especially interested in small molecule N-type calcium channel blockers for therapeutic use. Herein, we report a series of N,N-dialkyl-dipeptidylamines with potent functional activity at N-type VSCCs and in vivo efficacy. The synthesis, SAR, and pharmacological evaluation of this series are discussed.
