Abstract:
: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 and their in vitro structure-activity relationship determined by their potency for inhibition of [35S]TBPS binding in rat brain membranes. Appropriate substitution of the phenyl group results in ligands with particularly high affinity for the neuroactive steroid site on GABAA receptors (e.g., 4-acetyl 28, IC50 10 nM). The potency of selected steroids was confirmed electrophysiologically in oocytes expressing cloned human GABAA alpha 1 beta 2 gamma 2L receptors (e.g., compound 28, EC50 6.6 nM). Consistent with their in vitro activity, some of the 3 beta-(phenylethynyl)-substituted steroids displayed anticonvulsant activity in the pentylenetetrazol (PTZ) and maximal electroshock (MES) tests following ip administration in mice. Notably, the 3 beta-[(4-acetylphenyl)ethynyl]-19-nor derivative 36 demonstrated an attractive anticonvulsant profile (PTZ and MES ED50 values of 2.8 and 9.2 mg/kg, respectively). A new pharmacophore for the neuroactive steroid site of GABAA receptors is proposed based upon the high affinity of certain substituted 3 beta-(phenylethynyl) steroids.
