A series of new purines containing triazole and other heterocycle substituents was synthesized and evaluated for their preliminary anticonvulsant activity and neurotoxicity by using the maximal electroshock (MES), subcutaneous pentylenetetrazole (scPTZ) and rotarod neurotoxicity (TOX) tests. Among the compounds studied, 9-decyl-6-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)-9H-purine (5e) was the most potent compound, with a median effective dose of 23.4 mg/kg and a high protective index of more than 25.6 after intraperitoneal administration in mice. Compound 5e showed significant oral activity against MESinduced seizures in mice, with an ED50 of 39.4 mg/kg and a PI above 31.6. These results demonstrate that compound 5e possesses better anticonvulsant activity and is safer than the commercially available drugs carbamazepine and valproate in MES, scPTZ and TOX models.

A series of 6-(alkylamino)-9-alkylpurines was synthesized and evaluated for the property of antagonizing the behavioral effects in animals of the dopamine agonist apomorphine. This model for identifying potential antipsychotic agents is based on the hypothesis that agents that antagonize apomorphine-induced aggressive behavior in rats and apomorphine-induced climbing in mice, but that do not block stereotyped behavior, could have an antipsychotic effect in humans without producing extrapyramidal side effects. The antiaggressive-behavior activity of lead compound 1 (6-(dimethylamino)- 9-(3-phenylalaninamidobenzyl)-9H-purine) was improved 48-fold with 6- (cyclopropylamino)-9-(cyclopropylmethyl)-2-(trifluoromethyl)-9H-purine (80) (po ED50 of 2 mg/kg), which was obtained through an iterative sequence of structure-activity relationship studies that encompassed evaluation of the effects of structure variations at the purine 9-, 6-, and 2-positions. Potency was enhanced with a 9-cyclopropyl group, the duration of action was improved with the 6-(cyclopropylamino) substituent, potency was further enhanced with an N-formyl prodrug, and an agent with reduced cardiovascular effect emerged with the 2-trifluoromethyl purine 80. This potential antipsychotic agent was not developed further due to undesirable effects on the stomach.
