A series of enaminone esters and amides have been developed as potent allosteric modulators of γ-aminobutyric acidA (GABA A) receptors. The compounds bind to a novel modulatory site that is independent of the benzodiazepine (BZ), isosteric GABA, and neuroactive steroid binding sites. Structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies resulted in the synthesis of the c-Bu amide 16h with an in vitro potency of 7 nM based on inhibition of [35S]TBPS binding. The activity of the enaminones as positive allosteric modulators was confirmed with electrophysiological measurements in oocytes expressing α1β2γ 2L GABAA receptors. The i-Pr, s-Bu, c-Pr, and c-Bu amides (16e-h) were orally active in mice with profound central nervous system depressant effects. The i-Pr amide 16e was an orally active anxiolytic in the mouse light-dark paradigm.

A series of novel arylfluoroquinolones has been prepared.These derivatives are characterized by having a fluorine atom at the 6-position, substituted amino groups at the 7-position, and substituted phenyl groups at the 1-position.Structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies indicate that the in vitro antibacterial potency is greatest when the 1-substituent is either p-fluorophenyl or p-hydroxyphenyl and the 7-substituent is either 1-piperazinyl, 4-methyl-1-piperazinyl, or 3-amino-1-pyrrolidinyl.The electronic and spatial properties of the 1-substituent, as well as the steric bulk, play important roles in the antimicrobial potency in this class of antibacterials.As a result of this study, compounds 45 and 41 were found to possess excellent in vitro potency and in vivo efficacy.
