Modulating the affinity and signaling bias of cannabinoid receptor 1 antagonists

Copyright © 2022. Published by Elsevier Inc..

Cannabinoid receptor 1 (CB1) is a G protein-coupled receptor and a therapeutic target for metabolic disorders. Numerous CB1 antagonists have been developed, but their functional selectivities and bias towards G protein or β-arrestin signaling have not been systemically characterized. In this study, we analyzed the binding affinities and downstream signaling of two series of pyrazole derivatives bearing 1-aminopiperidine (Series I) or 4-aminothiomorpholine 1,1-dioxide (Series II) moieties, as well as the well-known CB1 antagonists rimonabant and taranabant. Analyses of the results for the Series I and II derivatives showed that minor structure modifications to their functional groups and especially the incorporation of 1-aminopiperidine or 4-aminothiomorpholine 1,1-dioxide motifs can profoundly affect their bias toward G protein or β-arrestin signaling, and that their binding affinity and functional activity can be disassociated. Docking and molecular dynamics simulations revealed that the binding modes of Series I and II antagonists differed primarily in that Series I antagonists formed an additional hydrogen bond with the receptor, whereas those in Series II formed a water bridge.
