In vivo evaluation of substituted 3-amino-1,4-benzodiazepines as anti-depressant, anxiolytic and anti-nociceptive agents

Oxazepam (CAS 604-75-1) 4 a served as building block in the synthesis of substituted 3-amino-l,4-benzodiazepines, which were subsequently tested in various CNS animal models. The hydroxy group of oxazepam was either activated as a chloride (Method A) or as a phos- phor-oxy derivative (Method B) giving the desired 3-amino-l,4-benzodiapines 6 a- 6r in high yields with primary and secondary amines in a typical nucleophilic substitution reaction. Eighteen 3-substi- tuted 1,4-benzodiazepines were prepared and served as new chemical entities and for lead structure discovery. The mixed cholecystokinin (CCK) antagonist 6 e showed anxiolytic and antidepressant effects from 10μg/kg in mice in the elevated x-maze test and the forced swimming test. The CCK 1 antagonist 6 g has shown antidepressant effects from the same dose, but lacked anxiolytic properties. Both compounds potentiated at a dose of 0.5 mg/kg morphine antinocicep- tion with a maximum possible effect (MPE) about 35 %. By assessing initially the MPE of antinocipection for the 18 newly synthesised benzodiazepines in the tail-flick test, 4 other benzodiazepines were found active. In further in vivo evaluation the cyclohexyl derivative 6 i displayed anxiolytic, antidepressant and antinociceptive properties as single agent at a dose of 5 mg/kg without toxicity. The benzodiazepines 6i and 6p, which initially showed a higher MPE in terms of morphine potentiation (43/44%) showed analgesic effects as single agents, without having anxiolytic or antidepressant properties. The amino-piperidinyl derivative 6 p displayed a similar dose-response relationship to morphine, but was 3 times more potent. ECV Editio Cantor Verlag, Aulendorf (Germany).

Synthesis of substituted 3-anilino-5-phenyl-1,3-dihydro-2H-1,4- benzodiazepine-2-ones and their evaluation as cholecystokinin-ligands

3-Amino-1,4-benzodiazepines as well as chemically related diverse amines were prepared from oxazepam and subsequently screened on the cholecystokinin receptor in a radiolabel binding assay. Oxazepam 2 was activated via its 3-chloro-1,4-benzodiazepine intermediate 3 and was reacted with a large series of aliphatic and aromatic amines. The substituted 3-anilino-1,4-benzodiazepine structure was identified as lead structure in a diverse series of 3-amino-1,4-benzodiazepines 4-38 and the full SAR (structure-activity relationship) optimisation provided 3-anilinobenzodiazepines 16-38 with CCK 1 receptor selectivity to CCK2. The compounds 18, 24, 28 and 33 have shown affinities at the CCK1 receptor of 11, 10, 11 and 9 nM, respectively. These equipotent CCK1 ligands were fully evaluated in behaviour pharmacological essays. An antidepressant effect was identified in the tail suspension- and the Porsolt swimming-test. The ED50 values for 24 and 28 were determined in these assays as 0.46 and 0.49 mg/kg. The mixed antagonist 37 showed in addition to the antidepressant effects anxiolytic properties.
