Title: A potent nonpeptide antagonist of the substance P (NK sub 1 ) receptor

Journal Article · · Science (Washington, D.C.); (United States)

CP-96,345 ((2S, 3S)-cis-2-(diphenylmethyl)-N-((2-methoxyphenyl)-methyl)-1-azabicyclo(2.2.2)octan-3-amine) is a potent nonpeptide antagonist of the substance P (NK{sub 1}) receptor. CP-96,345 inhibited {sup 3}H-labeled substance P binding and was a classical competitive antagonist in the NK{sub 1} monoreceptor dog carotid artery preparation. CP-96,345 inhibited substance P-induced salivation in the rat, a classical in vivo bioassay, but did not inhibit NK{sub 2}, NK{sub 3}, or numerous other receptors; it is thus a selective NK{sub 1} antagonist. This compound may prove to be a powerful tool for investigation of the physiological properties of substance P and exploration of its role in diseases.
