Effects of 4-amino-2-methyl-cantharidinimide on GABA_C receptors

The antiepileptic effect of 4-amino-2-methyl-cantharidinimide（AMC） was reported,but its mechanism remains unknown.In this study,we investigated the effects of AMC on a rat model of penicillin-induced epilepsy.The doses of 88 and 22 mg/kg AMC and the dose of 154 mg/kg sodium valproate（VPA） were administered intragastrically（i.g.） 30 min before penicillin injection,respectively.The epileptiform activity was verified by electrocorticographic（ECoG） recordings.The levels of GABA and GABAC receptors in hippocampus were determined by immunohistochemistry,and real-time polymerase chain reaction（RT-PCR） technique was used to detect the mRNA expression of GABAC receptor ρ2.The mean frequency and amplification of spike epileptiform activity were significantly decreased in AMC and VPA-pretreated rats compared with those of non-pretreated penicillin-induced epilepsy（PIE） group.The levels of GABA,GABAC receptors and the mRNA expression of GABAC receptors ρ2 in AMC and VPA-pretreated rats were significantly increased as compared with PIE group.These findings indicate that AMC and VPA have an antiepileptic effect on PIE in rats,and the antiepileptic effect of AMC may be mediated by the GABAC receptors and GABA.

Computational Study for the Aromatic Nucleophilic Substitution Reaction on 1-Dimethylamino-2,4-bis(trifluoroacetyl)-naphthalene with Amines

Our previous research showed that aliphatic amines were put in order of high reactivity as “ethylamine > ammonia > t-butylamine > diethylamine” on the aromatic nucleophilic substitution of 1-dimetylamino-2,4-bis(trifluoroacetyl)-naphthalene 1 in acetonitrile. The DFT calculation study (B3LYP/6-31G* with solvation model) for the reactions of 1 with above four amines rationally explained the difference of each amines reactivity based on the energies of their Meisenheimer complexes 3 which are assumed to formed as the reaction intermediates in the course of the reaction giving the corresponding N-N exchange products 2. Intramolecular hydrogen bond between amino proton in 1-amino group and carbonyl oxygen in 2-trifluoroacetyl group stabilizes Meisenheimer complexes 3 effectively, and accelerates the substitution reaction from 1 to 2. Our calculation results also predicted that the above order of amines is also true if less polar toluene is used as a solvent instead of acetonitrile even though more enhanced conditions are required.
