Hydroxyl-substituted sulfonylureas as potent inhibitors of specific [3H]glyburide binding to rat brain synaptosomes

Bioorg Med Chem. 2003 May 1;11(9):2099-113. doi: 10.1016/s0968-0896(02)00606-5.

Abstract

We are seeking to discover potent CNS-active sulfonylureas with structural features that allow for the formation of several types of prodrugs. We report herein the syntheses of compounds comprising an initial series of hydroxyl-substituted analogues of the potent ATP-sensitive potassium channel blockers glyburide (glibenclamide) and gliquidone. Somewhat unexpectedly, several of the compounds were found to be comparably potent to glyburide as inhibitors of specific [(3)H]glyburide binding in rat brain preparations.
