Abstract
The structural modifications on the B-region of the potent and high affinity vanilloid receptor (VR1) lead ligand N-(3-acyloxy-2-benzylpropyl)- N′-[4-(methylsulfonylamino)benzyl]thiourea were investigated by the replacement of the thiourea with diverse isosteric functional groups. Structure-activity analysis indicated that the A-region in this series was the primary factor in determining the agonistic/antagonistic activities regardless of the B-region. The NC-hydroxy thiourea analogues (12, 13) showed excellent analgesic activities in the acetic acid writhing assay compared to the parent thiourea analogues.
