title: 4-aryl-5-(4-piperidyl)-3-isoxazolol GABAA antagonists: synthesis, pharmacology, and structure-activity relationships.
abstract: A series of 4-aryl-5-(4-piperidyl)-3-isoxazolol GABAA antagonists have been synthesized and pharmacologically characterized. The meta-phenyl-substituted compounds 9k and 9m and the para-phenoxy-substituted compound 9l all display high affinities (Ki=10-70 nM) and antagonist potencies in the low nanomolar range (Ki=9-10 nM). These potencies are significantly higher than those of previously reported 4-PIOL antagonists and considerably higher than that of the standard GABAA antagonist SR 95531.
