Abstract:
At least two different types of sigma
(
1 and
2) receptors have been identified. A structural feature common to high-affinity (Ki <10 nM)
1 ligands is: C-N(R)-X-Ph; both C and Ph are associated with regions of bulk tolerance. Numerous other ligands bind, but typically do so with lower affinity.
Keywords: sigma receptors; arylalkylamines; arylpentylamines piperazines; piperidines; pharmacophore
