초록
Replacement of the morpholinyl moiety in (S,E)-N-[1-(3-morpholinophenyl)ethyl]-3-phenylacrylamide (1) with heteroaryl groups led to the identification of (S,E)-N-1-[3-(6-fluoropyridin-3-yl)phenyl]ethyl-3-(2-fluorophenyl)acrylamide (5) as a potent KCNQ2 potassium channel opener. Among this series of heteroaryl substituted acrylamides, (S,E)-N-1-[3-(1H-pyrazol-1-yl)phenyl]ethyl-3-(2-fluorophenyl)acrylamide (9) exhibits balanced potency and efficacy. The syntheses and the KCNQ2 opener activity of this series of acrylamides are described.
