In the present study, some selected, previously reported 4,5-dihydro-4-oxo-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]quinoxaline-2-carboxylates (TQXs) and 3-hydroxy-quinazoline-2,4-diones (QZs), were evaluated for their affinity at the (S)-2-amino-3-(3-hydroxy-5-methylisoxazol-4-yl)-propionic acid (AMPA) receptor in the [(3)H]-6-cyano-7-nitroquinoxaline-2,3-dione ([(3)H]-CNQX) binding assay. Electrophysiological experiments were performed in oocytes expressing rat homomeric GluR3 subunits in order to assess the pharmacological profile of the tested compounds. The binding data, together with those regarding the functional activity, confirmed that most of the TQXs and QZs reported herein are potent AMPA receptor antagonists. When tested for their ability to prevent sound-induced seizures in DBA/2 mice, some of these derivatives showed anticonvulsant properties.

Previous studies have shown that 8-chloro-5,6-dihydro-5-oxo-pyrazolo[1,5-c]quinazoline-2-carboxylates (PQZ series) represent a family of glycine/N-methyl-D-aspartic acid (NMDA) and/or (R,S)-2-amino-3-(3-hydroxy-5-methylisoxazol-4-yl)propionic acid (AMPA) and/or kainic acid (KA) receptor antagonists. Moreover, some groups have been identified that introduced in suitable positions of the PQZ 2-carboxylate framework shift affinity and selectivity toward glycine/NMDA receptor. These substituents are a carboxylate function at position-1 and/or a chlorine atom at position-9.

An approach for binding affinity evaluation is suggested and exemplified using a set of triazolo [1,5-a] quinoxaline for the (R, S)-2-amino-3-(3-hydroxy-5-methylisoxazol-4-yl)-propionic acid (AMPA) receptor. Biological activity toward the AMPA receptor (expressed as -log IC50) was taken as a dependent variable for building Comparative Molecular Field Analysis (CoMFA) and Comparative Molecular Similarity Indices Analysis (CoMSIA) models. The resulting models show the ways of increasing the binding affinity to the AMPA receptor as a potential target for epilepsy.

In this paper, we report a study on some new 4,5-dihydro-4-oxo-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]quinoxaline-2-carboxylate derivatives (TQXs), bearing a nitrogen-containing heterocycle at position-9, and designed as (R,S)-2-amino-3-(3-hydroxy-5-methylisoxazol-4-yl)propionic acid (AMPA) receptor antagonists. These compounds ensue from the structural modification of previously reported 8-heteroaryl-TQXs which were endowed with high affinity and selectivity for the AMPA receptor. All the newly synthesized compounds were biologically evaluated for their binding at the AMPA receptor.

(R,S)-2-Amino-3-(3-hydroxy-5-phenylisoxazol-4-yl)propionic acid ((R,S)-APPA) is the only partial agonist at the (R,S)-2-amino-3-(3-hydroxy-5-methylisoxazol-4-yl)propionic acid (AMPA) subtype of excitatory amino acid receptors so far described. In light of the pharmacological interest in partial agonists, we have now accomplished the resolution of (R,S)-APPA. (S)-(+)-APPA (5) and (R)-(-)-APPA (6) were obtained in high enantiomeric purity using (R)-(+)- and (S)-(-)-1-phenylethylamine, respectively, as resolving agents.
