Several [1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]quinoxalines that were reported as antidepressants in the patent literature were found to possess moderate affinity for the adenosine A1 and A2 receptors. On the basis of structural parallels with adenine and adenosine, the N-cyclopentyl derivative was synthesized and found to have improved affinity and selectivity for the A1 receptor. In the N-cyclopentyl series, affinity was optimal with trifluoromethyl substitution at the 1-position, resulting in a compound (9) with 7.3 nM A1 affinity and 138-fold selectivity for the A1 receptor.

D011983 Receptors, Purinergic Cell surface proteins that bind PURINES with high affinity and trigger intracellular changes which influence the behavior of cells. The best characterized classes of purinergic receptors in mammals are the P1 receptors, which prefer ADENOSINE, and the P2 receptors, which prefer ATP or ADP.

D001921 Brain The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM. Encephalon
