Structural analogues of the natural products magnolol and honokiol as potent allosteric potentiators of GABA(A) receptors.

Abstract:

:Biphenylic compounds related to the natural products magnolol and 4'-O-methylhonokiol were synthesized, evaluated and optimized as positive allosteric modulators (PAMs) of GABA(A) receptors. The most efficacious compounds were the magnolol analog 5-ethyl-5'-hexylbiphenyl-2,2'-diol (45) and the honokiol analogs 4'-methoxy-5-propylbiphenyl-2-ol (61), 5-butyl-4'-methoxybiphenyl-2-ol (62) and 5-hexyl-4'-methoxybiphenyl-2-ol (64), which showed a most powerful potentiation of GABA-induced currents (up to 20-fold at a GABA concentration of 3μM). They were found not to interfere with the allosteric sites occupied by known allosteric modulators, such as benzodiazepines and N-arachidonoylglycerol. These new PAMs will be useful as pharmacological tools and may have therapeutic potential for mono-therapy, or in combination, for example, with GABA(A) receptor agonists.
