Abstract

Polycyclic amides 2 and 5–9 were successfully synthesised and their lipophilicity profiles were evaluated using reverse-phase HPLC. All synthesised compounds possessed P2X7R antagonistic properties when tested on rat spinal cord microglia cells. Extensive screening for binding to other neuroreceptor subtypes demonstrated their P2X7 selectivity.
