Understanding the role of GABAC receptors in the central nervous system is limited due to a lack of specific ligands. Novel γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) analogues based on 3-(aminomethyl)-1-oxo-1-hydroxy-phospholane 17 and 3-(guanido)-1-oxo-1-hydroxy-phospholane 19 were investigated to obtain selective GABAC receptor antagonists. A compound of high potency (19, K B = 10 μM) and selectivity (greater than 100 times at ρ1 GABAC receptors as compared to α1β2γ2L GABAA and GABAB(1b,2) receptors) was obt ...[more]
