Abstract

A series of bioisosteric 4-(aminomethyl)-1-hydroxypyrazole (4-AHP) analogues of muscimol, a GABA_A receptor agonist, has been synthesized and pharmacologically characterized at native and selected recombinant GABA_A receptors. The unsubstituted 4-AHP analogue (2a) (EC ₅₀ 19 μM, R_max 69%) was a moderately potent agonist at human α₁β₂γ₂ GABA_A receptors, and in SAR studies substitutions in the 3- and/or 5-position were found to be detrimental to binding affinities. Ligand-receptor docking in an α₁β₂γ₂ GABA_A receptor homology model along with the obtained SAR indicate that 2a and muscimol share a common binding mode, which deviates from the binding mode of the structurally related antagonist series based on 4-(piperidin-4-yl)-1- hydroxypyrazole (4-PHP, 1). Selectivity for α₁β ₂γ₂ over ρ₁ GABA_A receptors was observed for the 5-chloro, 5-bromo, and 5-methyl substituted analogues of 2a illustrating that even small differences in structure can give rise to subtype selectivity.
