Abstract

2-Arylimidazo [4, 5-c] quinolines and analogous fused imidazopyridines were synthesized and evaluated as benzodiazepine receptor ligands. Affinity to the receptors was greatly affected by the bulkiness of the aryl group at the 2-position, compared to the pyrazoloquinolines such as CGS-9896. Derivatives with an isoxazole moiety at the 2- position showed high binding affinity and in vivo activity. In the imidazo [4, 5-c] quinoline ...
