A novel series of readily water soluble 8-methylureido-4,5-dihydro-4-oxo-10H-imidazo[1,2-a]indeno[1,2-e]++ +pyrazines were synthesized. The -10-yl acetic acid ((+)-3) and -10-carboxylidene (4) derivatives exhibit potent affinities (IC50=4 and 19 nM, respectively) and antagonist properties (IC50 = 2 and 3 nM, respectively) at the ionotropic AMPA receptor. These compounds also display anticonvulsant properties against both electrically and sound-induced convulsions in mice after ip, sc and iv administration with ED50 values between 0.9 and 11 mg/kg, thus suggesting adequate brain penetration.

The concurrent enhancement of short-circuit current ( ) and open-circuit voltage ( ) is a key problem in the preparation of efficient organic solar cells (OSCs). In this paper, we report efficient and stable OSCs based on an asymmetric non-fullerene acceptor (NFA) IPC-BEH-IC2F. The NFA consists of a weak electron-donor core dithienothiophen[3,2-]-pyrrolobenzothiadiazole (BEH) and two kinds of strong electron-acceptor (A) units [9-indeno[1,2-]pyrazine-2,3-dicarbonitrile (IPC) with a tricyclic fused system and 2-(5,6-difluoro-3-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1-inden-1-ylidene)malononitrile (IC2F)].

The excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate interacts with ionotropic and metabotropic receptors that mediate a variety of normal signalling processes in the brain. However, excessive stimulation of these receptors appears to be involved in neurodegenerative processes, at least in animal models. Ionotropic glutamate receptors can be divided into NMDA and non-NMDA (AMPA and KA) subtypes on the basis of t heir preferential affinities for the synthetic excitatory amino acids N-methyl-D-aspartic acid (NMDA) or 2-amino-3-(3-hydroxy-5-methylisoxazol-4-yl) propionic acid (AMPA), respectively.

Water soluble 8-methylureido-10-amino-10-methyl-imidazo[1,2-a]indeno[1,2-e]pyraz ine-4-one 4 represents a novel class of highly potent and selective AMPA receptors antagonists with in vivo activity. The dextrorotatory isomer (+)-4 was found to display the highest affinity with an IC50 of 10 nM. It also exhibited very good anticonvulsant effects after i.

A novel series of 2-substituted-4,5-dihydro-4-oxo-4H-imidazo[1,2-a]indeno[1,2-e]pyrazine derivatives was synthesised. One of them, 4e-a highly water soluble compound exhibited a nanomolar affinity and demonstrated competitive antagonist properties at the ionotropic AMPA receptors. This compound also displayed potent anticonvulsant properties against electrically or sound-induced convulsions in mice after systemic administration, thus suggesting adequate brain penetration.
