In recent papers (Catarzi, D.; et al. J. Med. Chem. 2000, 43, 3824-3826; 2001, 44, 3157- 3165) we reported chemical and biological studies on 4,5-dihydro-4-oxo-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]- quinoxaline-2-carboxylates (TQXs) bearing different nitrogen-containing heterocycles at position-8. In particular, from these studies it emerged that both the 7-chloro-4,5-dihydro-4- oxo-8-(1,2,4-triazol-4-yl)-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a] quinoxaline-2-carboxylic acid TQX-173 (compound B) and its corresponding ethyl ester (compound A) were the most active and selective compounds of this series. In pursuing our investigation on the structure-activity relationships of these TQX derivatives, different electron-withdrawing groups (CF3, NO2) were introduced at position 7 on the TQX ring system, replacing the 7-chloro substituent of B and of other selected 8-heteroaryltriazoloquinoxaline-2-carboxylates previously described. All the newly synthesized compounds were biologically evaluated for their binding at the Gly/NMDA, AMPA, and KA high-affinity receptors. Gly/NMDA binding assays were performed to assess the selectivity of the reported compounds toward the AMPA receptor. Compounds endowed with micromolar binding affinity for the KA high-affinity binding site were also evaluated for their binding at the KA low-affinity receptor. Some selected compounds were also tested for their functional antagonist activity at the AMPA and NMDA receptor-ion channel complex. The results obtained in this study have pointed out that 4,5-dihydro-7-nitro-4-oxo-8-(3-carboxypyrrol-1-yl)-1,2,4- triazolo[1,5-a]quinoxaline-2-carboxylic acid (9b) and its corresponding ethyl ester (9a) are the most potent and selective AMPA receptor antagonists reported to date among the TQX series.

Abstract
In recent papers (Catarzi, D.; et al. J. Med. Chem. 2000, 43, 3824-3826; 2001, 44, 3157- 3165) we reported chemical and biological studies on 4,5-dihydro-4-oxo-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]- quinoxaline-2-carboxylates (TQXs) bearing different nitrogen-containing heterocycles at position-8. In particular, from these studies it emerged that both the 7-chloro-4,5-dihydro-4- oxo-8-(1,2,4-triazol-4-yl)-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a] quinoxaline-2-carboxylic acid TQX-173 (compound B) and its corresponding ethyl ester (compound A) were the most active and selective compounds of this series. In pursuing our investigation on the structure-activity relationships of these TQX derivatives, different electron-withdrawing groups (CF3, NO2) were introduced at position 7 on the TQX ring system, replacing the 7-chloro substituent of B and of other selected 8-heteroaryltriazoloquinoxaline-2-carboxylates previously described. All the newly synthesized compounds were biologically evaluated for their binding at the Gly/NMDA, AMPA, and KA high-affinity receptors. Gly/NMDA binding assays were performed to assess the selectivity of the reported compounds toward the AMPA receptor. Compounds endowed with micromolar binding affinity for the KA high-affinity binding site were also evaluated for their binding at the KA low-affinity receptor. Some selected compounds were also tested for their functional antagonist activity at the AMPA and NMDA receptor-ion channel complex. The results obtained in this study have pointed out that 4,5-dihydro-7-nitro-4-oxo-8-(3-carboxypyrrol-1-yl)-1,2,4- triazolo[1,5-a]quinoxaline-2-carboxylic acid (9b) and its corresponding ethyl ester (9a) are the most potent and selective AMPA receptor antagonists reported to date among the TQX series.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
