- Synthesis and SAR of 5-, 6-, 7- and 8-aza analogues of 3-aryl-4-hydroxyquinolin-2(1H)-one as NMDA/glycine site antagonists
-
A series of 5-, 6-, 7- and 8-aza analogues of 3-aryl-4-hydroxyquinolin-2(1H)-one was synthesized and assayed as NMDA/glycine receptor antagonists. The in vitro potency of these antagonists was determined by displacement of the glycine site radioligand [3H]5,7-dicholorokynurenic acid ([3H]DCKA) in rat brain cortical membranes. Selected compounds were also tested for functional antagonism using electrophysiological assays in Xenopus oocytes expressing cloned NMDA receptor (NR) 1A/2C subunits. Among the 5-, 6-, 7-, and 8-aza-3-aryl-4-hydroxyquinoline-2(1H)-ones investigated, 5-aza-7-chloro-4-hydroxy-3-(3-phenoxyphenyl)quinolin-2-(1H)-one (13i) is the most potent antagonist, having an IC50 value of 110 nM in [3H]DCKA binding and a Kb of 11 nM in the electrophysiology assay. Compound 13i is also an active anticonvulsant when administered systemically in the mouse maximum electroshock-induced seizure test (ED50 = 2.3 mg/kg, IP).

- Synthesis and pharmacological activity of triazole derivatives inhibiting eosinophilia
-
In order to develop novel antiasthmatic agents based on a new mechanism of action, a series of 3-substituted 5-amino-1- [(methylamino)(thiocarbonyl)]-1H-1,2,4-triazole derivatives were synthesized and evaluated in a model in which eosinophilia was induced in the airway through intravenous (iv) injection of Sephadex particles on days 0, 2, and 5. After screening of several hundred derivatives, we finally identified the highly potent eosinophilia inhibitor 5-amino-3-(4-chlorophenyl)-1- [(methylamino)(thiocarbonyl)]-1H-triazole (23c, GCC-AP0341), which had ID50 values of 0.3 and 0.07 mg/kg when administered orally (os) and intraperitoneally (ip), respectively. This compound showed complete inhibition of the hypersensitivity induced by ascaris inhalation at an ip dose of 1 mg/kg as well as low toxicity, with an LD50 value of >2.0 g/kg in mice. Extensive study of its mechanism of action revealed that 23c inhibited eosinophil survival induced by interleukin-5 (IL-5), but had little or no effect on leukotriene D4 (LTD4) or platelet-activating factor (PAF)- induced responses. Taken together, these results suggest 23c as a novel candidate for the treatment of chronic asthma. Further studies are now underway.

- Evaluation and Synthesis of Aminohydroxyisoxazoles and Pyrazoles as Potential Glycine Agonists
-
Except for structurally similar small amino acids, such as alanine, β-alanine, and serine, compounds acting as glycine-receptor agonists are an unknown class of pharmacological agents.To investigate the potential of small, substituted heterocycles to act as glycine agonists, we have evaluated the similarities between glycine and a series of hydroxy- and amino-substituted pyrazoles and isoxazoles through complementary molecular modeling techniques.Using a "scorecard approach" to determine the overall similarity of projected agonist structures to glycine, we prioritized synthesis and subsequently prepared several novel derivatives.The biological activity of these compounds was compared to that of glycine by using a strychnine-mediated glycine receptor binding assay.Despite the close similarity in the calculated parameters when compared to glycine, no significant receptor-binding activity was observed for the targeted analogues.These results illustrate the structurally exacting nature of the glycine receptor.
