title = "Essential structure of orexin 1 receptor antagonist YNT-707, Part IV: The role of D-ring in 4,5-epoxymorphinan on the orexin 1 receptor antagonistic activity",
abstract = "The orexin 1 receptor (OX1R) antagonists carrying a morphinan skeleton such as YNT-707 (2) and YNT-1310 (3) showed potent and extremely high selective antagonistic activity against OX1R. In the course of our study of the essential structure of YNT-707 for high binding affinity against OX1R, we prepared derivatives of 2 without the D- and 4,5-epoxy rings to clarify the roles of these structural determinants toward OX1R antagonistic activity. The D- and 4,5-epoxy rings played important roles for the active orientation of the 17-sulfonamide and 6-amide side chains. Finally, we identified the simple structure required for selective OX1R antagonistic activity in the complex morphinan skeleton, which is expected to be a useful scaffold for further design of OX1R ligands.",
