  • Publication number: 20100256142
    Abstract: A functionalized polycyclic compound can have a structure of Formula 1 or salt, prodrug, analog, or derivative thereof, which compound can be prepared by providing a diene; reacting the diene with a dienophile under sufficient conditions for a combined Diels-Alder/acylation reaction so as to provide a polycyclic compound having a carboxylic acid; and coupling the carboxylic acid with an amine-containing compound or a hydroxyl-containing compound so as to form an amide or an ester and producing a compound having a structure of Formula 1. The compound can be used for modulating an opioid receptor, which can be conducted by administering to an opioid receptor a functionalized polycyclic compound as described herein in an effective amount to modulate the functionality of the opioid receptor. Such opioid modulation can provide a biological benefit to a subject.

  • Publication number: 20100227866
    Abstract: [Problems] To provide a pharmaceutical, in particular a compound which can be used as a therapeutic agent for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). [Means for Solving Problems] It was found that a tetrahydroisoquinolin-1-one derivative having an amide group at the 4-position or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof has an excellent bombesin 2 (BB2) receptor antagonistic action. It is also found that the tetrahydroisoquinolin-1-one derivative is highly effective on bowel movement disorders. From the above, the tetrahydroisoquinolin-1-one derivative of the present invention is useful as a therapeutic agent for diseases associated with a BB2 receptor, in particular IBS.
