Taking into account structure-activity relationships obtained with our previous series, new diversely substituted 1,2,4-pyridothiadiazine 1,1-dioxides were designed to obtain novel AMPA potentiators. The aim of this work was focused on the improvement of lipophilicity, which is well known as a critical parameter to obtain in vivo active central nervous system agents. For this purpose, two positions on the pyridine ring were privileged to insert selected groups. Among the synthesized compounds emerged 7-chloro-4-ethyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-pyrido[2,3-e]-[1,2,4]-thiadiazine 1,1-dioxide (12d), which was evaluated in two memory tests in Wistar rats and showed cognition enhancing effects after intraperitoneal injection at doses as low as 0.3mg/kg.

A series of 3,4-dihydro-2H-1,2,4-benzothiadiazine 1,1-dioxides have been synthesized and evaluated as potentiators of AMPA receptors. Attention was paid to the impact of the substituent introduced at the 7-position of the heterocycle. The biological evaluation was achieved by measuring the AMPA current in rat cortex mRNA-injected Xenopus oocytes. The most potent compound, 4-ethyl-7-fluoro-3,4-dihydro-2H-1,2,4-benzothiadiazine 1,1-dioxide (12a) was found to be active in an object recognition test in rats demonstrating cognition enhancing effects in vivo after oral administration.

Knowing the potential therapeutic interest of AMPA potentiation, patents have been published for 15 years relating the discovery of novel compounds able to allosterically bind to the AMPA receptors and leading to a potentiation of the AMPA signals. Besides this classical approach, a new target for the medicinal chemist has been defined due to the recent findings describing the modulation of AMPA receptors by neuronal proteins, and has led to the design of dipyrazole compounds by Aventis. These new dipyrazole derivatives may be considered as `indirect AMPApams', constituting a new pharmacological class. Based on their in vitro activity, it is probable that these compounds could be of therapeutic value for the treatment of cognitive disorders, schizophrenia or depression. [less ▲]
