Consensus Ensemble Multitarget Neural Network Model of Anxiolytic Activity of Chemical Compounds and Its Use for Multitarget Pharmacophore Design.

A classification consensus ensemble multitarget neural network model of the dependence of the anxiolytic activity of chemical compounds on the energy of their docking in 17 biotargets was developed. The training set included compounds thathadalready been tested for anxiolytic activity and were structurally similar to the 15 studied nitrogen-containing heterocyclic chemotypes. Seventeen biotargets relevant to anxiolytic activity were selected, taking into account the possible effect on them of the derivatives of these chemotypes.

Amino Derivatives of Diaryl Pyrimidines and Azolopyrimidines as Protective Agents against LPS-Induced Acute Lung Injury.

The problem of lung damage originating from excessive inflammation and cytokine release during various types of infections remains relevant and stimulates the search for highly effective and safe drugs. The biological activity of the latter may be associated with the regulation of hyperactivation of certain immune cells and enzymes. Here, we propose the design and synthesis of amino derivatives of 4,6- and 5,7-diaryl substituted pyrimidines and [1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-]pyrimidines as promising double-acting pharmacophores inhibiting IL-6 and NO.

Design, Synthesis and Pharmacological Evaluation of Novel C,C-Quinoxaline Derivatives as Promising Anxiolytic Agents.

A new series of quinoxaline derivatives, -, were synthesized and their anxiolytic potential was evaluated in vivo using elevated plus maze (EPM), open field (OF) and light-dark box (LDB) techniques. According to the results of the EPM, four active compounds were found in , , , . Their anxiolytic properties were confirmed in terms of LDB and the most active was compound .

Synthesis and Pharmacological Evaluation of Novel 2,3,4,5-tetrahydro[1,3]diazepino[1,2-]benzimidazole Derivatives as Promising Anxiolytic and Analgesic Agents.

A number of novel 2,3,4,5-tetrahydro[1,3]diazepino[1,2-]benzimidazole derivatives were obtained by alkylation mainly in the 1-tautomeric form of 2,3,4,5-tetrahydro[1,3]diazepino[1,2-]benzimidazole or its 8,9-dimethyl-substituted analog 4-chlorobenzyl bromide, 4-chloroacetic acid fluoroanilide, and 4-tert-butylphenacyl bromide in neutral medium. Compounds 3 were cyclized and synthesized earlier with 11-phenacyl-substituted diazepino[1,2-]benzimidazoles upon heating in conc. HBr.

Searching for new anxiolytic agents among derivatives of 11-dialkylaminoethyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydrodiazepino[1,2-a]benzimidazole.

A study on the anxiolytic activity of the new derivatives of 11-dialkylaminoethyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydrodiazepino[1,2-a]benzimidazole, containing privileged scaffolds of benzodiazepine and benzimidazole in their structure, was conducted. The cytotoxic properties of low levels of six compounds were preliminary determined in vitro using the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide test. The screening of these substances for anxiolytic activity was conducted using elevated plus maze (EPM) test in vivo, and DAB-21 was found to be the most active compound.
