چکیده
Novel isoxazolopyridone derivatives that are metabotropic glutamate receptor (mGluR) 7 antagonists were discovered and pharmacologically characterized. 5-Methyl-3,6-diphenylisoxazolo[4,5-c]pyridin-4(5H)-one (MDIP) was identified by random screening, and 6-(4-methoxyphenyl)-5-methyl-3-pyridin-4-ylisoxazolo[4,5-c]pyridin-4(5H)-one (MMPIP) was produced by chemical modification of MDIP. MDIP and MMPIP inhibited L-(+)-2-amino-4-phosphonobutyric acid (L-AP4)-induced intracellular Ca2+ mobilization in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells coexpressing rat mGluR7 with Galpha(15) (IC50 = 20 and 26 nM). The maximal response in agonist concentration-response curves was reduced in the presence of MMPIP, and its antagonism is reversible. MMPIP did not displace [3H](2S)-2-amino-2-[(1S,2S)-2-carboxycycloprop-1-yl]-3-(xanth-9-yl) propanoic acid (LY341495) bound to mGluR7. These results suggested that these isoxazolopyridone derivatives are allosteric antagonists. In CHO cells expressing rat mGluR7, MDIP and MMPIP inhibited l-AP4-induced inhibition of forskolin-stimulated cAMP accumulation (IC50 = 99 and 220 nM). In CHO cells coexpressing human mGluR7 with Galpha(15), MDIP and MMPIP also inhibited the l-AP4-induced cAMP response. The maximal degree of inhibition by MMPIP was higher than that by MDIP in a cAMP assay. MMPIP was able to antagonize an allosteric agonist, the N,N'-dibenzhydryl-ethane-1,2-diamine dihydrochloride (AMN082)-induced inhibition of cAMP accumulation. In the absence of these agonists, MMPIP caused a further increase in forskolin-stimulated cAMP levels in CHO cells expressing mGluR7, whereas a competitive antagonist, LY341495, did not. This result indicates that MMPIP has an inverse agonistic activity. The intrinsic activity of MMPIP was pertussis toxin-sensitive and mGluR7-dependent. MMPIP at concentrations of at least 1 microM had no significant effect on mGluR1, mGluR2, mGluR3, mGluR4, mGluR5, and mGluR8. MMPIP is the first allosteric mGluR7-selective antagonist that could potentially be useful as a pharmacological tool for elucidating the roles of mGluR7 on central nervous system functions.

متن کاملA novel family of potent negative allosteric modulators of group II metabotropic glutamate receptors.
Group II metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs), mGluR2 and mGluR3, play a number of important roles in mammalian brain and represent exciting new targets for certain central nervous system disorders. We now report synthesis and characterization of a novel family of derivatives of dihydrobenzo[1,4]diazepin-2-one that are selective negative allosteric modulators for group II mGluRs. These com...

Although relatively few G-protein-coupled receptors are Class C, in recent years, this small family of receptors has become a focal point for the discovery of new and exciting allosteric modulators. The mGlu (metabotropic glutamate) receptors are illustrative in the discovery of both positive and/or negative allosteric modulators with unique pharmacological properties. For instance, allosteric ...
متن کاملAllosteric Modulators for mGlu Receptors
The metabotropic glutamate receptor family comprises eight subtypes (mGlu1-8) of G-protein coupled receptors. mGlu receptors have a large extracellular domain which acts as recognition domain for the natural agonist glutamate. In contrast to the ionotropic glutamate receptors which mediate the fast excitatory neurotransmission, mGlu receptors have been shown to play a more modulatory role and h...
