Tacrine (THA), a long withdrawn drug, is still a popular scaffold used in medicinal chemistry, mainly for its good reactivity and multi-targeted effect. However, THA-associated hepatotoxicity is still an issue and must be considered in drug discovery based on the THA scaffold. Following our previously identified hit compound 7-phenoxytacrine (7-PhO-THA), we systematically explored the chemical space with 30 novel derivatives, with a focus on low hepatotoxicity, anticholinesterase action, and antagonism at the GluN1/GluN2B subtype of the NMDA receptor. Applying the down-selection process based on in vitro and in vivo pharmacokinetic data, two candidates, I-52 and II-52, selective GluN1/GluN2B inhibitors thanks to the interaction with the ifenprodil-binding site, have entered in vivo pharmacodynamic studies. Finally, compound I-52, showing only minor affinity to AChE, was identified as a lead candidate with favorable behavioral and neuroprotective effects using open-field and prepulse inhibition tests, along with scopolamine-based behavioral and NMDA-induced hippocampal lesion models. Our data show that compound I-52 exhibits low toxicity often associated with NMDA receptor ligands, and low hepatotoxicity, often related to THA-based compounds.

[11C]-PK11195 (PK11195) has been widely used with positron emission tomography (PET) to assess levels of the translocator protein 18 kDa (TSPO) as a marker of neuroinflammation. Recent ligands, such as [11C]-PBR28 and [11C]-DPA713, have improved signal-to-noise ratio and specificity for TSPO over PK11195. However, these second generation radiotracers exhibit binding differences due to a single polymorphism (rs6971) that leads to three genotypes: C/C, C/T and T/T associated with high, mixed and low binding affinities, respectively. Here we report that [3H]-DPA-713 in the presence of cholesterol or PK11195 has an accelerated dissociation rate from TSPO in platelets isolated from individuals with the T/T genotype. This allosteric interaction was not observed in platelets isolated from individuals with the C/C or C/T genotype. The results provide a molecular rationale for low binding affinity of T/T TSPO and further support the exclusion of these subjects from PET imaging studies using second generation TSPO ligands.
