Abstract

Two new potent AMPA receptor allosteric modulators, 6-(1,3-benzodioxol-5-yl)-1,11-dimethyl-3,6,9-triazatri-cyclo[7.3.1.13,11]tetradecane-4,8,12-trione and -4,8-dione were synthesized from 1,3-benzodioxol-5-amine and the corresponding 3,7-dichloroacetyl-3,7-diazabicyclo[3.3.1]-nonanes. In a wide concentration range (10−12–10−7 m), the 12-oxo derivative acts as a positive modulator causing the potentiation of the kainate-induced AMPA receptor currents with maximum potentiation at 1 nm (62%) while its analogue without a ketone group has significant (up to 40%) negative modulator effect. Their tentative mechanisms of action were analyzed by means of molecular modelling
