We have synthesized a series of 6,7-benzomorphan derivatives and determined their ability to bind to voltage-dependent sodium channels. We have also compared the functional consequences of this blockade in vitro and in vivo. The ability of the compounds to displace [(3)H]batrachotoxin from voltage-dependent sodium channels was compared with their ability to inhibit [(3)H]glutamate release in rat brain slices and block convulsions in the maximal electroshock test in mice. We found that the hydroxyl function in the 4'-position is crucial for improving the sodium channel blocking properties. Moreover, the stereochemistry and the topology of the N-linked side chain also influence this interaction. Indeed, the affinity is improved by an aromatic substitution in the side chain. By modifying the N substituent and the substitution pattern of the hydroxyl function, we were able to discover (2R)-[2alpha,3(S),6alpha]-1,2,3,4,5,6-hexahydro-6,11,11-tri-methyl-3-[2-(phenylmethoxy)propyl]-2,6-methano-3-benzazocin-10-ol hydrochloride. This compound was chosen as the best candidate for further pharmacological investigations.
