Synthesis and pharmacological evaluation of new N-methyl-arylpyrrolidinols with analgesic activity

Farmaco. 2003 Sep;58(9):939-46. doi: 10.1016/S0014-827X(03)00152-6.

Abstract

In the present paper, we report on the synthesis and antinociceptive activity of a new series of N-methyl-arylpyrrolidinols that we designed for a rational structure-activity relationship (SAR) study. The antinociceptive properties were investigated in vivo by the hot plate and formalin tests in mice and control on the locomotory activity was also monitored by the rota rod test. With this aim, the evaluation of the lipophilicity of all compounds was performed by the Daylight computational method in order to better understand the SAR. Interesting properties were proven for the compounds of the entire series.
