Piperazine imidazo[1,5-a]quinoxaline ureas as high-affinity GABAA ligands of dual functionality.
    Journal of medicinal chemistry, 1999, Apr-08, Volume: 42, Issue:7

    A series of imidazo[1,5-a]quinoxaline piperazine ureas appended with a tert-butyl ester side chain at the 3-position was developed. Analogues within this series have high affinity for the gamma-aminobutyric acid A (GABAA)/benzodiazepine receptor complex with efficacies ranging from inverse agonists to full agonists. Many analogues were found to be partial agonists as indicated by [35S]TBPS and Cl- current ratios. Uniquely, a number of these analogues were found to have a bell-shaped dose-response profile in the alpha1 beta2 gamma2 subtype as determined by whole cell patch-clamp technique, where in vitro efficacy was found to decrease with increasing drug concentration. Many of the compounds from this series were effective in antagonizing metrazole-induced seizures, consistent with anticonvulsant and possibly anxiolytic activity. Additionally, several analogues were also effective in lowering cGMP levels (to control values) after applied stress, also consistent with anxiolytic-like properties. The most effective compounds in these screens were also active in animal models of anxiety such as the Vogel and Geller assays. The use of the piperazine substituent allowed for excellent drug levels and a long duration of action in the central nervous system for many of the quinoxalines, as determined by ex vivo assay. Pharmacokinetic analysis of several compounds indicated excellent oral bioavailability and a reasonable half-life in rats. From this series emerged two partial agonists (55, 91) which had good activity in anxiolytic models, acceptable pharmacokinetics, and minimal benzodiazepine-type side effects.

3-Phenyl-substituted imidazo[1,5-alpha]quinoxalin-4-ones and imidazo[1,5-alpha]quinoxaline ureas that have high affinity at the GABAA/benzodiazepine receptor complex.
    Journal of medicinal chemistry, 1996, Sep-13, Volume: 39, Issue:19

    A series of imidazo[1,5-alpha]quinoxalin-4-ones and imidazo[1,5-alpha]quinoxaline ureas containing substituted phenyl groups at the 3-position was developed. Compounds within the imidazo[1,5-alpha]quinoxaline urea series had high affinity for the GABAA/benzodiazepine receptor complex with varying in vitro efficacy, although most analogs were partial agonists as indicated by [35S]TBPS and Cl- current ratios. Interestingly, a subseries of piperazine ureas was identified which had biphasic efficacy, becoming more antagonistic with increasing concentration. Analogs within the imidazo[1,5-alpha]quinoxalin-4-one series had substantially decreased binding affinity as compared to the quinoxaline urea series. These compounds ranged from antagonists to full agonists by in vitro analysis, with several derivatives having roughly 4-fold greater intrinsic activity than diazepam as indicated by Cl- current measurement. Numerous compounds from both series were effective in antagonizing metrazole-induced seizures, consistent with anti-convulsant properties and possible anxiolytic activity. Most of the quinoxaline ureas and quinoxalin-4-ones were active in an acute electroshock physical dependence side effect assay in mice precluding further development.

High-affinity alpha-aminobutyric acid A/benzodiazepine ligands: synthesis and structure-activity relationship studies of a new series of tetracyclic imidazoquinoxalines.
    Journal of medicinal chemistry, 1996, Nov-08, Volume: 39, Issue:23

    A series of tetracyclic imidazoquinoxaline analogs was developed which constrain the carbonyl group of the partial agonist 3-(5-cyclopropyl-1,2,4-oxadiazol-3-yl)-5-[(dimethylamino)carbonyl] - 4,5-dihydroimidazo[1,5-alpha]quinoxaline (2, U-91571) away from the benzene ring. These analogs orient the carbonyl group in the opposite direction of the previously reported full agonist 1-(5- cyclopropyl-1,2,4-oxadiazol-3-yl)-12,12a-dihydroimidazo[1,5- alpha]pyrrolo [2,1-c]quinoxalin-10(11H)-one (3, U-89267). A number of approaches were utilized to form the "bottom" ring of this tetracyclic ring system including intramolecular cyclizations promoted by Lewis acids or base, as well as metal-carbenoid conditions. The size and substitution pattern of the additional ring was widely varied. Analogs within this series had high affinity for the benzodiazepine receptor on the alpha-aminobutyric acid A chloride ion channel complex. From TBPS shift and Cl- current assays, the in vitro efficacy of compounds within this class ranged from antagonists to partial agonists with only 18a identified as a full agonist. Additionally, several analogs were quite potent at antagonizing metrazole-induced seizures indicating possible anticonvulsant or anxiolytic activity. Unlike 3, analogs in this series did not have high affinity for the diazepam insensitive alpha 6 beta 2 delta 2 subtype. These results suggest that either constraining the carbonyl group away from the benzene ring or the greater planarity that results from the additional cyclic structure provides analogs with partial agonist properties and prevents effective interaction with the alpha 6 beta 2 delta 2 subtype.
