Investigation into the structure-activity relationship of novel concentration dependent, dual action T-type calcium channel agonists/antagonists

Bioorg Med Chem. 2005 Jun 1;13(11):3821-39. doi: 10.1016/j.bmc.2005.03.004.

Abstract

This paper describes the synthesis and biological evaluation of a series of straight chain analogs of a compound (1) that was previously synthesized in our research program. These compounds, which are T-type calcium channel antagonists, exhibits potent anti-proliferative activity against a variety of cancer cells. A structure-activity relationship of these analogs against a variety of cancer cells has provided insight into a logical pharmacophore for this series of compounds. Furthermore, this series of compounds has presented itself as a set of novel, concentration dependent, dual action agonists/antagonists for the T-type calcium channel.
