Synthesis and anticonvulsant activity of novel 2,6-diketopiperazine derivatives. Part 2: Perhydropyrido[1,2-a]pyrazines

Abstract: A new series of chiral pyrido[1,2-a]pyrazine derivatives was synthesised and evaluated in in vivo animal models of epilepsy. A significant influence of the stereochemistry of the pyrido[1,2-a]pyrazine framework on the pharmacological activity was observed. Compounds with (4R,9aS) absolute configuration proved inactive, whereas other stereoisomers exhibited markedly dissimilar spectra of anti-seizure efficacy in the maximal electroshock seizure (MES), subcutaneous Metrazol seizure (scMET) and Pilocarpine-induce… Show more

“…According to our previous reports on bicyclic 2,6-DKP derivatives, the ( R , S ) isomers were completely devoid of any in vivo pharmacological activity (Dawidowski et al , 2011, 2012a). In contrast, the monocyclic derivatives (3 R ,5 S )-3a and (3 R ,5 S )-3e , displayed a weak, yet noticeable activity in the MES test (1/1 and 1/4 at 300 mg, respectively, at 0.5 h).…”

“…Recently, we have reported that chiral, bicyclic 2,6-diketopiperazines (2,6-DKPs) derived from cyclic amino acids display a broad anticonvulsant activity in various animal models of epilepsy (Dawidowski et al , 2011, 2012a). Among the newly developed agents, compound ADD408003 exhibited a broad spectrum of seizure-suppressing activity.…”

“…The anticonvulsant activity of the synthesized compounds ( 3a – j ) was determined using two animal models of seizure according to the standard protocols within the Antiepileptic Drug Development (ADD) Program at National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, National Institutes of Health, Rockville, USA which included maximal electroshock seizure (MES) and subcutaneous pentylenetetrazole (scPTZ) . Almost all clinically significant AEDs are protective in at least one of these two models . In addition to the initial anticonvulsant screen, acute neurotoxocity (NT) was evaluated in the rotarod test .…”
