Neuroactive steroids that allosterically modulate GABAA receptors have potential uses as anticonvulsants, anxiolytics, and sedative-hypnotic agents. Recently, a series of pregnanes substituted with simple alkyl groups at the 3 beta-position were synthesized and found to be active in vitro. The present report describes the synthesis of a series of substituted 3 alpha-hydroxy-3 beta-(phenylethynyl)pregnan-20-ones
变构调节GABAA受体的神经活性类固醇有潜在用途,可作为抗惊厥药,抗焦虑药和镇静催眠药。最近,合成了一系列在3β位置被简单烷基取代的孕烷,并发现其在体外具有活性。本报告描述了一系列取代的3α-羟基-3β-(苯基乙炔基)pregnan-20-的合成及其通过体外抑制大鼠脑中[35S] TBPS结合力确定的体外结构-活性关系。膜。适当取代苯基会导致配体对GABAA受体上的神经活性类固醇位点具有特别高的亲和力(例如4-乙酰基28,IC50 10 nM)。在表达克隆的人GABAAα1β2γ2L受体(例如化合物28,EC50 6.6 nM)的卵母细胞中,通过电生理学证实了所选类固醇的效力。与它们的体外活性一致,在小鼠腹腔注射后,一些3β-(苯乙炔基)取代的类固醇在戊四氮(PTZ)和最大电击(MES)试验中显示出抗惊厥活性。值得注意的是,3β-[((4-乙酰基苯基)乙炔基] -19-nor衍生物36表现出有吸引力的抗惊厥特征(PTZ和MES
