The relationship between the chemical structure and epileptogenic activity of quinolones was investigated. When the quinolones were administered intravenously to mice concomitantly with oral biphenylacetic acid, a major metabolite of the nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drug fenbufen, enoxacin, norfloxacin, ciprofloxacin, and pipemidic acid, which have an unsubstituted piperazine moiety at the 7 position of their parent nuclei, provoked clonic convulsions and subsequent death at doses of 6.25 mg/kg or more in a dose-dependent manner. AM-1091 and T-3262, which have an unsubstituted aminopyrrolidine moiety at their 7 positions, were less epileptogenic than the compounds listed above were. In contrast, ofloxacin, AT-4140, and nalidixic acid, which have piperazine substituted wiht methyl group(s) or no piperazine moiety at their 7 positions, never induced convulsions, even at doses of 100 mg/kg. Lomefloxacin, which has a 3-methyl piperazine, however, provoked convulsions at doses of 6.25mg/kg or more. In the presence of biphenylacetic acid, all the test quinolones except nalidixic acid competitively inhibited [3H]muscimol binding to receptor sites for .gamma.-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in vitro. Nalidix acid did not inhibit the binding at all, even at the highest concentration tested, i.e., 10-4 M. The 50% inhibition doses for [3H]muscimol binding vaired within 4 orders of magnitude or more, between 10-8 to more than 10-4 M for various compounds, and there was a close correlation between the epileptogenic activities of quinolones and their inhibitory potencies for [3H]muscimol binding to GABA receptor sites. These results indicate that the epileptogenic activity of quinolones possibly relates to the GABA-like structures of substituents at their 7 positions, which act as antagonists of GABA receptors.
