Abstract: | A novel series of agonists at the benzodiazepine binding site of the GABAA receptor was prepared by functionalizing a known template. Adding substituents to the pyrazolone-oxygen of CGS-9896 led to a number of compounds with selectivities for either α2- or α1-containing GABAA receptor subtypes offering an entry into indications such as anxiety and insomnia. In this communication, structure-activity relationship and efforts to increase in vitro stabilities are discussed. |
