A series of N-benzylpiperidines (2a-d, 10) with novel isoxazole- containing tricycles has been prepared. This series has shown potent in vitro inhibition of the enzyme acetylcholinesterase (AChE), with IC50s = 0.33- 3.6 nM. Compound 2a was the most potent inhibitor with an IC50 = 0.33 ± 0.09 nM. Derivatives 2a-d and 10 displayed weak in vitro inhibition of butyryl-cholinesterase (BuChE) with IC50s = 600-23 000 nM. The most selective compound was 2a with a BuChE/AChE ratio in excess of 4 orders of magnitude (> 10 000). Pyrrolobenzisoxazole 2a also displayed a favorable profile in vivo. In microdialysis experiments, 2a produced a 200% increase in extracellular levels of acetylcholine (ACh) at a dose of 0.4 mg/kg in freely moving, conscious rats. Peripheral side effects (salivation ED50 = 26 ± 1.5 mg/kg) and acute lethality (LD50[1 h] = 42 mg/kg) were observed at >60- fold higher doses. These data indicate that 2a is an AChE inhibitor with good central selectivity and a favorable margin of safety. Compound 2a, designated as CP-118,954, is currently in clinical development for the treatment of cognitive disorders.
