N-Acetyl-1-aryl-6,7-dimethoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline derivatives were designed and synthesized as potential noncompetitive AMPA receptor antagonists on the basis of molecular modeling studies. Sound-induced seizure testing showed that this class of compounds possessed anticonvulsant properties. In particular, 10c was more potent than talampanel (2), a noncompetitive AMPA receptor antagonist currently being investigated in phase III trials as an antiepileptic agent. Furthermore, electrophysiological studies indicated that 10c was a highly effective noncompetitive-type modulator of the AMPA receptor.
基于分子模拟研究,设计并合成了N-乙酰基-1-芳基-6,7-二甲氧基-1,2,3,4-四氢异喹啉衍生物,作为潜在的非竞争性AMPA受体拮抗剂。声音诱发惊厥试验表明,这类化合物具有抗惊厥特性。特别是,10c比他拉莫林(2)更有效,他拉莫林是一种非竞争性AMPA受体拮抗剂,目前正在进行III期试验作为抗癫痫药物。此外,电生理研究表明,10c是一种高效的AMPA受体非竞争性调节剂。
