摘要:
Chlorinated analogues of 5-substituted 2,3:8,7-endo-4,6-dioxatricyclo[7.2.1.0(2,8)]dodec-10-ene (DTD) and 2,3:8,7-endo-4,6-dioxa-5-thiatricyclo[7.1.1.0(2,8)]dodec-10-ene 5-oxide were prepared. With -CH2-, -CH(Me)-, and -S(O)- at the 5 position, the presence of chlorine atoms in the norbornene moiety was important in exerting toxic effects to houseflies, while with -CH(n-Pr)- and -CH(Ph-CN-4)- the introduction of chlorine atoms resulted in a loss of toxic activity. The effect of the presence of chlorine atoms on the potency in inhibiting [S-35]tert-butylbicyclophosphorothionate (TBPS) binding to rat brain membranes was found to be correlated to their insecticidal activity. A good correlation (r=0.807) was obtained between insecticidal activity and the potency in inhibiting [S-35]TBPS binding for 29 compounds, including known noncompetitive antagonists of GABA(A) receptors. The Scatchard analysis indicated that both types of analogues, 1,9,10,11,12,12-hexachloro-DTD and 5-(4-cyanophenyl)-DTD, act competitively at the TBPS binding site in the GABA-gated chloride channel. These two types of analogues, however, appear to interact with slightly different subsites within the TBPS binding site.
