Synthesis and structure-activity relationships of a series of insecticidal dioxatricyclododecenes acting as the noncompetitive antagonist of GABAA receptors
“…Furthermore, Ozoe et al (1993) showed that the extended structure 4 (Figure 96.10) is highly insecticidal and that compound 5 has intermediate toxicity, which is entirely lost by any chlorination in the norbornene nucleus. Thus, the dioxan (5) loses its housefly toxicity (LD 50 , 5.5 g/g) completely when one-or two-bridge chlorines are introduced and there is evidently a crossover point between the two structural types, because the fully chlorinated but not extended dioxan (6) has the same toxicity, which is much reduced in various partially dechlorinated analogues (see Section 96.4.3 for further discussion).…”

“…This discovery came from the observation that the cyclodiene insecticide heptachlor epoxide and g-HCH structurally resemble the first NCA, picrotoxinin (Matsumura and Ghiasuddin 1983). Later, simple dechlorinated cyclic hydrocarbons or lactones were found to retain certain levels of insecticidal and NCA activities on GABARs, indicating that the chlorine atoms are not essential for the action, although they enhance it (Ozoe and Matsumura 1986;Ozoe et al 1993b). Antagonist actions of OC insecticides were clearly demonstrated by electrophysiological studies in addition to initial binding studies.…”

“…5). To reconcile this pharmacophore model and the SARs of EBOB analogs, many hybrids of cyclodienes and EBOB analogs were synthesized (Ozoe et al 1990(Ozoe et al , 1993b. This SAR study led to the suggestion that the NCA binding-site should have an additional pocket (P1) that accommodates the phenyl group of EBOB and related analogs as well as that of 2-phenyl-1,3-dithianes (Fig.…”
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
