Abstract:
A series of α-aryl pyrrolidine sulfonamide TRPA1 antagonists were advanced from an HTS hit to compounds that were stable in liver microsomes with retention of TRPA1 potency. Metabolite identification studies and physicochemical properties were utilized as a strategy for compound design. These compounds serve as starting points for further compound optimization.

Aromatic ring substitutions: Substituting the aromatic ring with –OH groups at positions 3 and 4 yields catecholamines (e.g., epinephrine), which have a high affinity for adrenoceptors. Hydrogen bonding between –OH groups and receptors enhances adrenergic activity.
