Parkinson’s disease is a chronic degenerative disease characterized by motor symptoms, which result from the death of midbrain dopamine neurons and concomitant disruption of dopamine mediated neurotransmission. No curative treatment is currently available for this disorder in clin. practice. In the search for druggable neuroprotective compounds for dopamine neurons, the authors have synthesized new 1,4,8-triazaphenanthrenes by combination of 6-endo-dig-cycloisomerization of propargylquinoxalines and Suzuki or Sonogashira cross-coupling reaction. Neuroprotection assessment of newly synthesized 1,4,8-triazaphenanthrenes in a Parkinson’s disease cellular model has led to the selection of hit compound I. In vitro characterization of I showed that this compound operates via a direct effect on DA neurons with no impact on astroglial cells. Most interestingly, I was able to counteract neurodegeneration in a MPTP lesioned mouse model of Parkinson’s disease, making this compound a promising drug candidate for the treatment of this disorder. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, 3-Chloroquinoxalin-6-amine (cas: 166402-16-0Related Products of 166402-16-0).
3-Chloroquinoxalin-6-amine (cas: 166402-16-0) belongs to quinoxaline derivatives. Quinoxaline is isomeric with other naphthyridines including quinazoline, phthalazine and cinnoline. Quinoxalines are used in the treatment of bacterial, cancer, and HIV infections. Moreover, varenicline, a clinical drug is used for treating nicotine addiction, also contains quinoxaline moiety.Related Products of 166402-16-0
