- Abstract
- New compounds with 1H-pyrazolo [3,4-d]pyrimidin-6-amine core scaffolds were synthesized and characterized in vitro to determine their affinity for human A(2A) and A(1) receptors. Among the tested compounds, a few compounds displayed nanomolar binding affinities for both receptors. One particular compound, 11o, showed high binding activities (hA(2A) K-i = 13.3 nM; hA(1) K-i = 55 nM) and full antagonism (hA(2A) IC50 = 136 nM; hA(1) IC50 = 98.8 nM) toward both receptors. Further tests showed that 11o has low hepatic clearance and good pharmacokinetic properties in mice, along with high bioavailability and a high brain plasma ratio. In addition, 11o was associated with very low cardiovascular risk and mutagenic potential, and was well-tolerated in rats and dogs. When tested in an MPTP-induced mouse model of Parkinson's disease, 11o tended to improve behavior. Moreover, 11o dose-dependently reversed haloperidol-induced catalepsy in female rats, with graded ED50 of between 3 and 10 mg/kg. Taken together, these results suggest that this potent dual A(2A)/A(1) receptor antagonist, 11o, is a good candidate for the treatment of Parkinson's disease with an excellent metabolic and safety profile.
