| Abstract | Derivatization of phenothiazine (PTZ, 1) has been a commonly used method to develop drugs with various pharmacological properties. In the present study, a series of PTZ derivatives 1-11 were investigated on the inhibition of the cloned 7 subunit of the human nicotinic acetylcholine receptor ( 7-nAChR) expressed in Xenopus oocytes by using the two-electrode voltage-clamp technique. In the first series of experiments, the effect of unsubstituted phenothiazine 1 on 7-nAChRs was compared with that of the N3,N7-diaminophenothiazin-5-ium derivative 2, and of sequentially methylated derivatives 3-6. In the second set of experiments, the effects of N3,N7-tetra-ethyl- to n-hexylphenothiazin-5-ium derivatives 7-11 were tested. Despite the lack of activity found for 1, a reversible inhibition of 7-nAChRs, ranging from moderate to potent, was observed as a result of a sequential amine- and methylamine substitution of 1. The inhibition of ACh (100 µM)-induced currents was concentration-dependent with IC(50) values ranging from 0.4 to 16.8 µM. However, an optimal inhibitory activity was achieved by prolongation of alkyl chains up to propyl size, as found in PTZ derivative 8, whereas further lengthening of alkyl chains to n-butyl-, n-pentyl-, or n-hexyl groups resulted in inactive derivatives 9-11. The results evidently suggest the presence of a lipophilic binding pocket of narrow tolerability on the receptor protein. These results emphasize the importance of amine and/or alkylamine moieties for the inhibitory effect of PTZ derivatives and provide further insights for the development of novel antagonists targeting 7-nAChRs. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
