- Development of tricyclic N-benzyl-4-hydroxybutanamide derivatives as inhibitors of GABA transporters mGAT1-4 with anticonvulsant, antinociceptive, and antidepressant activity
-
γ-Aminobutyric acid (GABA) neurotransmission has a significant impact on the proper functioning of the central nervous system. Numerous studies have indicated that inhibitors of the GABA transporters mGAT1-4 offer a promising strategy for the treatment of several neurological disorders, including epilepsy, neuropathic pain, and depression. Following our previous results, herein, we report the synthesis, biological evaluation, and structure-activity relationship studies supported by molecular docking and molecular dynamics of a new series of N-benzyl-4-hydroxybutanamide derivatives regarding their inhibitory potency toward mGAT1-4. This study allowed us to identify compound 23a (N-benzyl-4-hydroxybutanamide bearing a dibenzocycloheptatriene moiety), a nonselective GAT inhibitor with a slight preference toward mGAT4 (pIC50 = 5.02 ± 0.11), and compound 24e (4-hydroxy-N-[(4-methylphenyl)-methyl]butanamide bearing a dibenzocycloheptadiene moiety) with relatively high inhibitory activity toward mGAT2 (pIC50 = 5.34 ± 0.09). In a set of in vivo experiments, compound 24e successively showed predominant anticonvulsant activity and antinociception in the formalin model of tonic pain. In contrast, compound 23a showed significant antidepressant-like properties in mice. These results were consistent with the available literature data, which indicates that, apart from seizure control, GABAergic neurotransmission is also involved in the pathophysiology of several psychiatric diseases, however alternative mechanisms underlying this action cannot be excluded. Finally, it is worth noting that the selected compounds showed unimpaired locomotor skills that have been indicated to give reliable results in behavioral assays.

- Study on zwitter-ionization of drugs. II. Synthesis and pharmacological activity of some N-[3-(5H-dibenzo[a,d]cyclohepten-5-ylidene)propyl]-N- methylamino- and N-[3-(6H-dibenz[b,e]oxepin-11-ylidene)propyl]-N-methylamino- alkanoic acid derivatives and related compounds
-
A series of N-[3-(5H-dibenzo[a,d]cyclohepten-5-ylidene)propyl]-N- methylamino- (6a) and N-[3-(6H-dibenz-[b,e]oxepin-11-ylidene)propyl]-N- methylamino-alkanoic acid derivatives (6b) and related compounds (6c-f) were synthesized and examined for pharmacological activities in vitro, i.e., inhibitory effect on monoamine [noradrenaline (NA) and 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT)] uptake, inhibitory effect on 5-HT-, histamine-, acetylcholine- and NA-induced contraction, and binding affinity for α2-adrenoceptor and dopamine D2-receptor. In vitro tests indicated that zwitter-ionization was capable of maintaining H1-antihistaminic activity while greatly reducing other pharmacological activities. Further, 6a-f showed much stronger inhibitory effects on compound 48/80-induced lethality in rats than did the corresponding N,N-dimethylamines (2a-f). 3-[N-[3-(6H-Dibenz[b,e]oxepin-11- ylidene)propyl]-N-methylamino]-propionic acid (6b-2), selected as a candidate antiallergic agent of a new type, equally potent in rats and guinea-pigs, exhibited strong inhibitory effects on 48 h homologous passive cutaneous anaphylaxis (PCA) in rats (ED50=0.019 mg/kg, p.o.) and on histamine- induced bronchoconstriction in anesthetized guinea-pigs (ED50=0.0067 mg/kg, p.o.).
