Background:
It was found earlier that compounds combining diazaadamantane and monoterpene moieties possessed promising analgesic activity along with low acute toxicity and the lack of ulcerogenic activity.
Objective:
In this paper, new structural analogues of the most active compounds were synthesized and evaluated for their analgesic activity.
Methods:
Their structures were confirmed by various analytical methods, such as 1H and 13C NMR, HRMS. All of them were evaluated for analgesic activity at a dose of 20 mg/kg or less using acetic acid-induced writhing test and hot plate test.
Results:
Some compounds showed analgesic activity in acetic acid-induced writhing test. One of the synthesized compounds demonstrated high analgesic activity in both tests with 46% effect in acetic acid-induced writhing test and 89% effect in hot plate test. Both structural fragments of this compound did not possess any analgesic effect at a dose of 20 mg/kg.
Conclusion:
Structure-activity relationships indicated that the most active compound combines fragments of (-)-myrtenal and 6-amino-5,7-dimethyl-1,3-diazaadamantane. Both parts of the molecule are important for demonstrating analgesic activity.

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.
