Adenosine A1/A2A receptors (A1R/A2AR) represent targets in nondopaminergic
treatment of motor disorders such as Parkinson’s disease (PD). As an innovative
strategy, multitargeting ligands (MTLs) were developed to achieve comprehensive
PD therapies simultaneously addressing comorbid symptoms such as sleep
disruption. Recognizing the wake-promoting capacity of histamine H3 receptor
(H3R) antagonists in combination with the « caffeine-like effects » of A1R/A2AR
antagonists, we designed A1R/A2AR/H3R MTLs, where a
piperidino-/pyrrolidino(propyloxy)phenyl H3R pharmacophore was introduced with
overlap into an adenosine antagonist arylindenopyrimidine core. These MTLs showed
distinct receptor binding profiles with overall nanomolar H3R affinities (Ki < 55
nM). Compound 4 (ST-2001, Ki (A1R) = 11.5 nM, Ki (A2AR) = 7.25 nM) and 12
(ST-1992, Ki (A1R) = 11.2 nM, Ki (A2AR) = 4.01 nM) were evaluated in vivo.
l-DOPA-induced dyskinesia was improved after administration of compound 4 (1 mg
kg-1, i.p. rats). Compound 12 (2 mg kg-1, p.o. mice) increased wakefulness
representing novel pharmacological tools for PD therapy.
