3-Phenoxypyridine 1-oxides as anticonvulsant agents
摘要:
The anticonvulsant activity of a series of 3-phenoxypyridine 1-oxides is described. An investigation carried out to optimize the activity/side effect ratio provided 4-methyl-3-phenoxypyridine 1-oxide, 3, as the derivative of choice. Overall, 3 has a pharmacological profile that is very similar to phenytoin. It exhibited significant anticonvulsant activity at doses that did not produce ataxia or sedation but caused increased spontaneous behavioral activity not seen with most anticonvulsants. The short duration of pharmacological effect of 3 was attributed to metabolic hydroxylation at the C-4 pyridine methyl group; however, structural modifications designed to inhibit this metabolic pathway were unsuccessful.

Natural products have served as a rich source for the discovery of new nucleic acid targeting molecules for more than half a century. However, our ability to design molecules that bind nucleic acid motifs in a sequence- and/or structure-selective manner is still in its infancy. Xylopyridine A, a naturally occurring molecule of unprecedented architecture, has been found to bind DNA by a unique mode of intercalation. Here we show that the structure proposed for xylopyridine A is not consistent with the characterization in the original isolation report and does not bind B-form DNA. Instead, we report that the originally proposed structure for xylopyridine A represents a new class of conformationally dynamic structure-selective quadruplex nucleic acid binder. The unique molecular conformation locks out nonspecific intercalative binding modes and provides a starting point for the design of a new class of structure-specific nucleic acid binder.
