In vitro pharmacology of ACEA-1021 and ACEA-1031: systemically active quinoxalinediones with high affinity and selectivity for N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor glycine sites

N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonists show therapeutic potential as neuroprotectants, analgesics, and anticonvulsants. In this context, we used electrical recording techniques to study the in vitro pharmacology of two novel quinoxalinediones, i.e., ACEA-1021 and ACEA-1031 (5-nitro-6,7- di...

description N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonists show therapeutic potential as neuroprotectants, analgesics, and anticonvulsants. In this context, we used electrical recording techniques to study the in vitro pharmacology of two novel quinoxalinediones, i.e., ACEA-1021 and ACEA-1031 (5-nitro-6,7- dichloro- and 5-nitro-6,7-dibromo-1,4-dihydro-2,3-quinoxalinedione, respectively). Assays with NMDA receptors expressed by rat brain poly(A)+ RNA in Xenopus oocytes and with NMDA receptors in cultured rat cortical neurons indicated that ACEA-1021 and ACEA-1031 are potent competitive antagonists at NMDA receptor glycine sites. Apparent dissociation constants (Kb values) for ACEA-1021 and ACEA-1031 ranged between 6 and 8 nM for oocyte assays and between 5 and 7 nM for neuronal assays. Cloned NMDA receptors expressed in oocytes showed up to 50-fold variation in sensitivity, depending upon subunit composition. For example, using fixed agonist concentrations (10 microM glycine and 100 microM glutamate) IC50 values for ACEA-1021 with four binary combinations were as follows: NMDA receptor (NR)1A/2A, 29 nM; NR1A/2B, 300 nM; NR1A/2C, 120 nM; NR1A/2D, 1500 nM. Measurement of EC50 for glycine and calculation of Kb for the inhibitors indicated that differences in IC50 values are due to subunit-dependent variations in glycine affinity (EC50 ranged between approximately 0.1 and 1 microM) combined with variations in affinity of the antagonists themselves (Kb of approximately 2-13 nM). In addition to the strong antagonism of NMDA receptors, ACEA-1021 and ACEA-1031 were also moderately potent competitive inhibitors of non-NMDA receptors activated either by alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methylisoxazole-4-propionic acid or by kainate. Antagonist affinities were similar whether measured with receptors expressed by rat brain poly(A)+ RNA in oocytes (Kb of 1-2 microM) or with cultured neurons (Kb of 1.5-3.3 microM). Our results suggest that the in vivo neuro-protective actions of ACEA-1021 and ACEA-1031 are predominantly due to inhibition at NMDA receptor glycine sites, although additional inhibition at non-NMDA receptors may play an ancillary role.
