A series of imidazobenzodiazepin-6-ones possessing varying substituents at the 3- and 5-positions were synthesized and evaluated for their affinities at diazepam-sensitive (DS) and diazepam-insensitive (DI) benzodiazepine receptors (BzR) in rat cortical and cerebellar membranes. Replacement of an ester substituent at the 3-position with a carbamate, acetylamino, formylamino, isothiocyanato, 2-oxazolinyl, 2-benzoxazolyl, or p- tolylsulfonyl groups lead to >100-fold reductions in affinity at both DS and DI BzR. Replacement of a methyl group on the nitrogen at the 5-position with propyl, allyl, or phenethyl groups also led to significant reductions in affinity at both BzR isoforms. However, incorporation of a benzyl group yields ligands (11f,h,i and 14a-c) with moderate to high affinities at DS BzR, suggesting the presence of a hydrophobic pocket at the receptor site. Introduction of chlorine at the 7-position enhances ligand affinity at DS BzR while chlorine at the 8-position decreases affinity (IC50: 11f, 9.3 nM; 11h, 2.4 nM 11i, 37.8 nM). In contrast, chlorine substitution at the 7- as well as the 8-position increases affinity at DI BzR (K(i): 11f, 112 nM; 11h, 20.2 nM; 11i, 10.9 nM). Compound 11i is among the few described high affinity DI-site ligands with a selectivity comparable to that of Ro 15-4513. Despite their in vitro affinities, compounds 11f, 11h, and 11i exhibit low in vivo activities that may be attributable to unfavorable metabolic or pharmacokinetic properties.
