    Abstract:
    A series of 1- and 2-naphthyloxy derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for histamine H3 receptor affinity. Most compounds showed high affinities with Ki values below 100 nM. The most potent ligand, 1-(5-(naphthalen-1-yloxy)pentyl)azepane (11) displayed high affinity for the histamine H3 receptor with a Ki value of 21.9 nM. The antagonist behaviour of 11 was confirmed both in vitro in the cAMP assay (IC50 = 312 nM) and in vivo in the rat dipsogenia model (ED50 = 3.68 nM). Moreover, compound 11 showed positive effects on scopolamine induced-memory deficits in mice (at doses of 10 and 15 mg/kg) and an analgesic effect in the formalin test in mice with ED50 = 30.6 mg/kg (early phase) and ED50 = 20.8 mg/kg (late phase). Another interesting compound, 1-(5-(Naphthalen-1-yloxy)pentyl)piperidine (13; H3R Ki = 53.9 nM), was accepted for Anticonvulsant Screening Program at the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke/National Institute of Health (Rockville, USA). The screening was performed in the maximal electroshock seizure (MES), the subcutaneous pentylenetetrazole (scPTZ) and the 6-Hz psychomotor animal models of epilepsy. Neurologic deficit was evaluated by the rotarod test. Compound 13 inhibited convulsions induced by the MES with ED50 of 19.2 mg/kg (mice, i.p.), 17.8 (rats, i.p.), and 78.1 (rats, p.o.). Moreover, 13 displayed protection against the 6-Hz psychomotor seizures (32 mA) in mice (i.p.) with ED50 of 33.1 mg/kg and (44 mA) ED50 of 57.2 mg/kg. Furthermore, compounds 11 and 13 showed in vitro weak influence on viability of tested cell lines (normal HEK293, neuroblastoma IMR-32, hepatoma HEPG2), weak inhibition of CYP3A4 activity, and no mutagenicity. Thus, these compounds may be used as leads in a further search for histamine H3 receptor ligands with promising in vitro and in vivo activity.
