Studies on annulated 1,4-benzothiazines and 1,5-benzothiazepines. IX. Imidazo [2,1-d][1,5] benzothiazepines: synthesis and in vitro benzodiazepine receptor affinity
摘要:
The synthesis of three series of 1- and 2-substituted imidazo[2,1-d][1,5]benzothiazepines is accomplished starting from 1,5-benzothiazepin-4-ones. All the synthesized compounds were evaluated for their affinity for the benzodiazepine receptor, testing their ability to displace [H-3]Flunitrazepam from bovine brain membrane protein. A few of the tested compounds showed good affinity, in particular compound 9a (K-i = 43.00 nM). The GABA-ratio of the active compounds suggests an antagonist or partial agonist activity. The data obtained allow us to draw some comments on the structure-activity relationships.
