We present here the pharmacological properties of 3 ureido-acetamide members of a novel family of non-peptide cholecystokinin-B (CCKB) receptor antagonists. RP 69758 (3-(3-[N-(N-methyl N-phenyl-carbamoylmethyl) N-phenyl-carbamoylmethyl] ureido)phenylacetic acid), RP 71483 ((E)-2-[3-(3-hydroxyiminomethyl phenyl) ureido] N-(8-quinolyl) N-[(1,2,3,4-tetrahydro 1-quinolyl)carbonylmethyl]acetamide) and RP 72540 ((RS)-2-[3-(3-[N-(3-methoxy phenyl) N-(N-methyl N-phenyl-carbamoylmethyl) carbamoylmethyl] ureido) phenyl] propionic acid) displayed nanomolar affinity for guinea-pig, rat and mouse CCKB receptors labelled with [3H]pCCK-8 or with the selective CCKB receptor ligand [3H]pBC264. RP 69758 and RP 72540 showed selectivity factors in express of 200 for CCKB versus CCKA receptors. All three compounds had also high affinity for gastrin binding sites in the stomach. The ureido-acetamides behaved as potent antagonists of CCK-8-induced neuronal firing in rat hippocampal slices in vitro, a functional model of brain CCKB receptor mediated responses. RP 69758 is also a potent gastrin receptor antagonist in vivo that dose dependently inhibits gastric acid secretion induced by i.v. injection of pentagastrin in the rat. None of the three ureido-acetamides, at concentrations up to 1 microM, significantly blocked CCK-8-evoked contractions of the guinea-pig ileum in vitro, a CCKA receptor bioassay. In ex vivo binding studies, i.p. administration of RP 69758 and RP 72540 resulted in a dose-dependent inhibition of [3H]pCCK-8 binding in mouse brain homogenate. However, the relative penetration of these ureido-acetamides into the forebrain after peripheral administration was below 0.01%. RP 71483 did not appear to cross the blood-brain barrier in quantities sufficient to prevent [3H]pCCK-8 binding at low doses, a property that makes it suitable for the exploration of the peripheral versus central origin of the behavioural effects observed following systemic administration of CCK. RP 69758, RP 71483 and RP 72540 are highly potent and selective non-peptide CCKB receptor antagonists which are useful tools to explore the physiological functions of CCKB receptors.

Cholecystokinin (CCK) and the structurally related peptide, gastrin, have numerous effects on tissues in the central nervous system and gastrointestinal tract. Recent studies show these effect are mediated by a CCKA and CCKB receptor. Knowledge of the physiological role and role of CCKB receptors in pathologic processes has been particularly limited by the availability of selective, potent receptor antagonists. Recently, new members of five different classes of non-peptide CCKB receptor antagonists are reported and are reviewed briefly. these include compounds isolated from Streptomyces (tetronothiodin, virginiamycin analogues), ureido-acetamide analogues (RP 69758, RP 72540, RP 73870), newer benzodiazepine analogues (L-368,935, L-740,093, YM022), pyrazolidimine analogues (LY 262,691) and glutamic acid analogues (CR2194). Many of these compounds have greater than 1000-fold selectivity for the CCKB over the CCKA receptor and some have greater than 10,000-fold selectivity. The pharmacology and effects of CCKB receptor antagonists on gastric acid secretion is briefly reviewed. Furthermore, the possible clinical usefulness of CCKB receptor antagonists in treating disorders of gastric acid secretion, in inhibiting the trophic effects of gastrin and in other clinical conditions is briefly discussed.

A novel series of phenoxyacetic acid derivatives was synthesized based on considerations of the three-dimensional structural similarity of YM022 and RP72540. The gastrin/cholecystokinin (CCK)-B and CCK-A receptor antagonist activities of these compounds were evaluated by investigation of their affinities for human gastrin/CCK-B receptors and human CCK-A receptors, respectively. It was found that N-methyl-N-phenyl-2-[2-[N-(N-methyl-N-phenyl-carbamoylmethyl)-N-[2 -[3-(3- methylphenyl)ureido]acetyl]amino]phenoxy]acetamide (20k, DZ-3514) exhibited high affinity for gastrin/CCK-B receptors and high selectivity over CCK-A receptors.
