[Study of some pharmacological properties of a new adenine derivative]
Abstract:
It is established that the new compound, 9-[2-(4-isopropylphenoxy)ethyl]adenine (9-IPE-adenine) in a dose of 10 mg/kg per day produces neuroprotective effect in rats with brain ischemia model. 9-IPE-adenine decreased the neurologic deficiency 1.2 times more effectively (p < 0.05) than the reference drug mexidol in analogous dose, and had equal effect with this drug at 25 mg/kg per day on the neurologic deficiency and survival of animals. Electrophysiological studies in hippocampal slices in rats showed that 9-IPE-adenine depressed orthodromic population spikes in CA1 area by 42 ± 4%. Non-competitive antagonist of NMDA receptor complex MK-801, in contrast to D-AP5 (competitive NMDA receptor antagonist) and CNQX (competitive AMPA receptor antagonist), enhanced the depressive effect of the new drug more than two times. These ese results are indicative of the ability of 9-IPE-adenine to modulate the ion channel of NMDA receptor complex.

Adrenergic Agonists: Chemistry and Structure-Activity Relationship
Aromatic ring substitutions: Substituting the aromatic ring with –OH groups at positions 3 and 4 yields catecholamines (e.g., epinephrine), which have a high affinity for adrenoceptors. Hydrogen bonding between –OH groups and receptors enhances adrenergic activity.
