Nl. Reddy et al., SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF ACENAPHTH-5-YL)-N'-(4-METHOXYNAPHTH-1-YL)GUANIDINE AS A GLUTAMATE RELEASE INHIBITOR AND POTENTIAL ANTIISCHEMIC AGENT, Bioorganic & medicinal chemistry letters, 5(19), 1995, pp. 2259-2262
Structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies of N,N'-diarylguanidines
as glutamate release inhibitors led to the synthesis of acenaphth-5-y
l)-N'-(4-methoxynaphth-1-yl)guanidine (6). Compound 6, with IC50 value
s of 1.3 and 2.2 mu M in C-14-guanidine flux and Ca-45(2+)-flux assays
respectively, effectively inhibited both veratridine and K+-evoked gl
utamate release in rat brain synaptosomal preparations.
