D M Piatak, P F Tang, C C Yen

    Journal of Medicinal Chemistry
    |January 1, 1986
    PubMed
    Summary

    Researchers synthesized 22 cycloheximide analogues for anticonvulsant potential. Three compounds, including cycloheximide, showed promise, with one advancing to further drug development screens.

    Area of Science:

    • Medicinal Chemistry
    • Pharmacology

    Background:

    • Cycloheximide analogues are investigated for therapeutic potential.
    • Anticonvulsant drug development requires novel chemical entities.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To synthesize and evaluate a series of novel cycloheximide analogues as potential anticonvulsant agents.
    • To identify compounds with significant anticonvulsant activity for further preclinical development.

    Main Methods:

    • Synthesis of 22 cycloheximide analogues with variations in ring substituents, imide nitrogen, and functional groups (ketone/alcohol).
    • Screening of synthesized compounds by the Anticonvulsant Drug Development program.
    • Phase II, IV, and VI testing for promising candidates.

    Main Results:

    • Three compounds, cycloheximide (1a), 2-methyl dione (2c), and dihydrocycloheximide (4a), demonstrated anticonvulsant activity.
    • Dihydrocycloheximide (4a) showed sufficient activity to progress through advanced screening phases.

    Conclusions:

    • Structural modifications of cycloheximide can yield compounds with anticonvulsant properties.
    • Dihydrocycloheximide is a promising lead compound for further investigation as an anticonvulsant therapy.
