Ligands which activate neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) represent a potential approach for the palliative treatment for the symptoms of memory loss associated with Alzheimer's disease(AD). Based upon this approach, a series of novel 3,5-disubstituted isoxazoles and isothiazoles were prepared and evaluated in vitro as cholinergic channel activators (ChCAs) of neuronal nAChRs. Many of the 3-substituted 5-(2-pyrrolidinyl)isoxazoles were found to have nanomolar binding affinities comparable to (S)-nicotine (2a) in a preparation of whole rat brain. However, in a paradigm measuring the evoked release of [H-3]dopamine from a preparation of rat striatum, there were differences in the agonist potencies and efficacies of these analogues relative to 2a. The differences in agonist potency observed between compounds of comparable binding potency may be due to differences in ligand interactions with various subtypes of neuronal nAChRs.
