Popis: The synthesis and in vitro and in vivo evaluation of 12,13-cycloalkyl-6,11-ethanobenzo[b]-quinolizidines, a new class of noncompetitive N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) antagonists acting at the PCP site on the NMDA receptor complex, is reported. Structure-activity relationship studies led to the identification of 10-hydroxy-(6 alpha,11 alpha,11 alpha beta,12R*,13S*)-1,3,4,6,11,11a,13,14,15,16-decahydro-12H- 6,11[1',2']-endo-cyclopenta-2H-pyrido[1,2-b]isoquinoline hydrobromide (5h) and 9-hydroxy-(6 alpha,11 alpha,11a beta,12R*,13S*)- 1,3,4,6,11,11a,13,14,15,16-decahydro-12H-6,11-[1',2']-endo-cycl ope nta-2H- pyrido[1,2-b]isoquinoline hydrobromide (5i), the most potent members of this series with Ki values of 2.3 +/- 0.2 and 2.3 +/- 0.5 nM, respectively. Molecular modeling studies revealed that this series of compounds occupies both lipophilic sites of the Andrews PCP receptor model and shares structural features which are common to other classes of known noncompetitive NMDA antagonists such as MK-801.
