The glycine-binding site of the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor, given its potential as pharmacological target, has been thoroughly studied by structure-activity relationships, which has made possible its description in terms of spatial limits and interactions of various types. A structural model, based on mutational analysis and sequence alignments, has been proposed. Yet, the amino acid residues responsible for the interactions with the ligand have not been unambiguously characterized. To evidence nucleophilic pocket-lining residues, we have designed and synthesized reactive glycine-site ligands derived from 3-substituted 4-hydroxy-quinolin- 2(1H)-ones by introducing various electrophilic groups at different positions of the molecule. These ligands were found to have high affinity at the glycine site and to be functional antagonists by inhibiting glycine/glutamate-induced currents in transfected oocytes. The correlation between their potency and their substitution pattern was strictly consistent with previously established structure-activity relationships. Most ligands displayed intrinsic reactivity toward cysteine, but none inactivated wild- type receptors. This is consistent with the model since it indicates the absence of exposed cysteine in the glycine-binding site. A strategy of cysteine incorporation by point mutations at selected polypeptide positions will create unambiguously localized targets for our reactive probes.

4-Substituted-3-phenylquinolin-2(1H)-ones have been synthesized and evaluated in vitro for antagonist activity at the glycine sits on the NMDA (N-methyl-D-aspartate) receptor and in vivo for anticonvulsant activity in the DBA/2 strain of mouse in an audiogenic seizure model. 4-Amino-3- phenylquinolin-2(1H)-one (3) is 40-fold lower in binding affinity but only 4- fold weaker as an anticonvulsant than the acidic 4-hydroxy compound 1. Methylsulfonylation at the 4-position of 3 gives an acidic compound (6, pK(a) = 6.0) where affinity is fully restored but in vivo potency is significantly reduced (Table 1). Methylation at the 4-position of 1 to give 18 results in the abolition of measurable affinity, but the attachment of neutral hydrogen bond-accepting groups to the methyl group of 18 produces compounds with comparable in vitro and in vivo activity to 1 (e.g., 23 and 28, Table 2). Replacement of the 4-hydroxy group of 1 with an ethyl group abolishes activity (42), but again, incorporation of neutral hydrogen bond acceptors to the terminal carbon atom restores affinity (e.g., 36, 39, and 40, Table 3). Replacement of the 4-hydroxy group of the high-affinity compound 2 with an amino group produces a compound with 200-fold reduced affinity (43, IC50 = 0.42 μM, Table 4) which is nevertheless still 10-fold higher in affinity than 3. The results in this paper indicate that anionic functionality is not an absolute requirement for good affinity at the glycine/NMDA site and provide compelling evidence for the existence of a ligand/receptor hydrogen bond interaction between an acceptor attached to the 4-position of the ligand and a hydrogen bond donor attached to the receptor.
