Abstract: | Starting from 3-(3-chloro-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)-1H-quinoxalin-2-one (2) a series of substituted 1,2,4]triazolo4,3-a]quinoxalines (3a-f) was prepared via a multistep reaction sequence. Affinities of the novel derivatives 3a-f for benzodiazepine as well as for adenosine A1- and A2A-receptors of rat brain were determined by radioligand binding assays. 1-Methyl-4-(3-chloro-1H-pyrazol-5-yl) derivative 3a exhibited submicromolar affinity for the benzodiazepine binding site of GABAA receptors (Ki = 340 nM) and was less potent at A1-(Ki = 7.85 microM) and A2A-(Ki = 1.43 microM) adenosine receptors (AR). Derivatives with larger substituents in the 1-position showed reduced binding to benzodiazepine and A2A-AR, but increased A1-AR affinity, the 2-thienylmethyl derivative 3f being the most potent and selective A1-AR ligand of the present series (Ki = 200 nM). |
