Abstract

In this work, we describe the identification of the 1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-a]pyrazin-3-one as a new versatile scaffold for the development of adenosine human (h) receptor antagonists. The new chemotype ensued from a molecular simplification approach applied to our previously reported 1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-a]quinoxalin-1-one series. Hence, a set of novel 8-amino-2-aryl-1,2,4-triazolopyrazin-3-one derivatives, featured by different substituents on the 2-phenyl ring (R) and at position 6 (R6), was synthesized with the main purpose of targeting the hA2A adenosine receptor (AR). Several compounds possessed nanomolar affinity for the hA2A AR (Ki = 2.9−10 nM) and some, very interestingly, also showed high selectivity for the target. One selected potent hA2A AR antagonist (12, R = H, R6 = 4-methoxyphenyl) demonstrated some ability to counteract MPP+-induced neurotoxicity in cultured human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells, a widely used in vitro Parkinson’s disease model. Docking studies at hAR structures were performed to rationalize the observed affinity data.
