Abstract
A series of new positive allosteric modulators (PAMs) of α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA) receptors based on 3,7-diazabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane scaffold have been designed, synthesized, and analyzed. In electrophysiological patch clamp studies, several compounds have demonstrated a sub-nanomolar potency. Compound 4 in in vivo tests showed anti-amnestic properties in the scopolamine-induced model of amnesia in the step-through passive avoidance or maximal electroshock experiments in rats at 0.01mg/kg showing a significant "dose-response" advantage over memantine. Based on the analysis of the flexible docking results of PAMs, the cyclothiazide-like mechanism of binding mode was suggested as the major site for the interaction with AMPA receptors.
