Abstract

We have recently shown that an arylaminopyridazine derivative of GABA, SR 95103 [2-(3- carboxypropyl)-3-amino-4-methyl-6-phenylpyridazinium chloride], is a selective and competitive GABA-A receptor antagonist. In order to further explore the structural requirements for GABA receptor affinity, we synthesized a series of 38 compounds by attaching various pyridazinic structures to GABA or GABA-like side chains. Most of the ...
