N2 - A number of analogues of the low-efficacy partial GABAA agonist 5-(4-piperidyl)-3-isoxazolol (4-PIOL), in which the 4-position of the 3-isoxazolol ring is substituted by different groups, were synthesized and tested as GABAA receptor ligands. While alkyl and benzyl substitution provided affinities and antagonist potencies comparable to those of 4-PIOL, diphenylalkyl and naphthylalkyl substitution resulted in marked increase in both affinity and potency. The 2-naphthylmethyl and the 3,3-diphenylpropyl analogues showed antagonist potencies comparable or markedly higher than that of the standard antagonist SR 95531. Molecular modeling studies exposed a large cavity in the vicinity of the 4-position of 4-PIOL, in which there seems to be additional sites for specific receptor interactions.
