Discovery of the imidazo[1,5-a][1,2,4]-triazolo[1,5-d][1,4]benzodiazepine scaffold as a novel, potent and selective GABAA α5 inverse agonist series

Through iterative design cycles we have discovered a number of novel new classes where the imidazo[1,5-a][1,2,4]-triazolo[1,5-d][1,4]benzodiazepine was deemed the most promising GABAA α5 inverse agonist class with potential for cognitive enhanc

Synthesis and structure-activity relationships of 3,5-disubstituted 4,5- dihydro-6H-imidazo[1,5-a][1,4]benzodiazepin-6-ones at diazepam-sensitive and diazepam-insensitive benzodiazepine receptors

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.

Imidazodiazepine derivatives

Imidazodiazepine derivatives of the formula STR1 wherein A together with the two carbon atoms denoted as α and β is selected from the group consisting of STR2 the dotted line represents the double bond present in groups (a) and (b), D is >C O or >C S, R 1 is selected from the group consisting of cyano, lower alkanoyl and a group of the formula --COOR 4, R 4 is selected from the group consisting of methyl, ethyl, isopropyl and 2-hydroxyethyl, R 5 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, trifluoromethyl and halogen and R 6 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, trifluoromethyl, halogen and lower alkyl and either R 2 is hydrogen and R 3 is hydrogen or lower alkyl or R 2 and R 3 together are trimethylene or propenylene and the carbon atom denoted as γ has the S- or R,S-configuration, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof are presented and have utility for antagonizing the central-depressant, muscle relaxant, ataxic, blood pressure-lowering and respiratory-depressant properties of 1,4-benzodiazepines which have tranquillizing activity. They can be used, for example, as antidotes in the case of intoxications in which excessive intake of 1,4-benzodiazepines which have tranquillizing participates, or for shortening an anaesthesia induced by such 1,4-benzodiazepines. They can also be used for suppressing the activities on the central nervous system of 1,4-benzodiazepines used in other fields of indication, for example of schistosomicidally-active 1,4-benzodiazepines such as (+)-5-(o-chlorophenyl)-1,3-dihydro-3-methyl-7-nitro-2H-1,4-benzodiazepin-2-one.Also presented are processes to produce the imidazodiazepine derivatives and intermediates therefor.
