Structure-Activity Relationship Study of First Selective Inhibitor of Excitatory Amino Acid Transporter Subtype 1: 2-Amino-4-(4-methoxyphenyl)-7-(naphthalen-1-yl)-5-oxo-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-4H-chromene-3-carbonitrile (UCPH-101)

[摘要]：The excitatory amino acid transporters (EAATs) arc expressed throughout the central nervous system, where they arc responsible for the reuptake of the excitatory neurotransmitter (S)-glutamate (Gin).(1) Recently, we have reported the discovery of the first subtype selective EAAT1 inhibitor 2-amino-4-(4-methoxyphenyl)-7-(naphthalen -1-yl)-5-oxo-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-4H-chromene-3-carbonitrile (UCPH-101) (1b) and presented an introductory structure activity relationship (SAR)study.(2) Here, we present a detailed SAR by the design, synthesis, and pharmacological evaluation of analogues 1g-1t. By comparison of potencies of 1b, 1h, and 1i versus 1j, it is evident that potency is largely influenced by the chemical nature of the R-1 substituent. The study also demonstrates that any chemical change of the functional groups or a change to the parental scaffold results in the complete loss of inhibitory activity of the compounds at EAAT1. Finally, a bioavailability study of UCPH-101 determined the half-life to be 30 min in serum (rats) but also that it was not able to penetrate the blood brain barrier to any significant degree.
