Background: Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune, inflammatory neurological disease of the CNS. Riluzole and dimethyl fumarate (DMF) are two FDA-approved drugs to treat amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and MS. Riluzole (a benzothiazole derivative) inhibits glutamate release from nerve terminals by antagonizing the N-Methyl-D-Aspartate (NMDA) receptor, and DMF upregulates anti-oxidative pathways.

Quinolone bioisosteres of phenolic GluN2B-selective NMDA receptor antagonists.

Cyclopenta[g]quinolones of type 4 were designed with the aim to bioisosterically replace the phenol of potent GluN2B ligands such as ifenprodil and Ro 25-6981 by the quinolone system and to restrict the conformational flexibility of the aminopropanol substructure in a cyclopentane system. The designed ligands were synthesized in an eight-step sequence starting with terephthalaldehyde (5). Key steps pf the synthesis were the intramolecular Friedel-Crafts acylation of propionic acids 10 to yield the cyclopenta[g]quinolinediones 11 and the Mannich reaction of diketone 11a followed by conjugate addition at the α,β-unsaturated ketone 12a.

Negative allosteric modulation of GluN2B subunit-containing NMDA receptors prevents overstimulation, resulting in neuroprotective effects. Since the phenol of prominent negative allosteric modulators is prone to rapid glucuronidation, its bioisosteric replacement by an indazole was envisaged. The key step in the synthesis was a Sonogashira reaction of non-protected iodoindazoles with propargylpiperidine derivatives.
