- MCI is further subdivided into amnestic MCI (aMCI) and non-amnestic MCI, characterized by the impairment (or lack thereof) of memory in particular.
- MCI is defined as aMCI if memory is found to be impaired given the age and education level of the subject. If, on the other hand, the memory of the subject is found to be intact for age and education, but other non- memory cognitive domains are impaired, such as language, executive function, or visuospatial skills, MCI is defined as non-amnestic MCI.
- aMCI and non-amnestic MCI can both be further subdivided into single or multiple domain MCI.
- aMCI- single domain refers to a condition where memory, but not other cognitive areas are impaired.
- aMCI-multiple domain refers to a condition where memory and at least one other cognitive area are impaired.
- Non-amnestic MCI is single domain or multiple domain dependent on whether or not more than one non-memory cognitive area is impaired. See, e.g., Peterson and Negash, CNS Spectr. 13:45-53, 2008.

- Mental retardation is a generalized disorder characterized by significantly impaired cognitive function and deficits in adaptive behaviors. Mental retardation is often defined as an Intelligence Quotient (IQ) score of less than 70. Inborn causes are among many underlying causes for mental retardation. The dysfunction in neuronal communication is also considered one of the underlying causes for mental retardation (Myrrhe van Spronsen and Casper C. Hoogenraad, Curr. Neurol. Neurosci. Rep. 2010, 10, 207-214).

- Fragile X syndrome is a prevalent form of inherited mental retardation, occurring with a frequency of 1 in 4,000 males and 1 in 8,000 females. The syndrome is also characterized by developmental delay, hyperactivity, attention deficit disorder, and autistic-like behavior. There is no effective treatment for fragile X syndrome.
- Obsessive compulsive disorder is a mental condition that is most commonly characterized by intrusive, repetitive unwanted thoughts
- OCD OCD is the fourth most common mental disorder in the United States. Some studies suggest the prevalence of OCD is between one and three percent, although the prevalence of clinically recognized OCD is much lower, suggesting that many individuals with the disorder may not be diagnosed. Patients with OCD are often diagnosed by a psychologist, psychiatrist, or psychoanalyst according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th edition text revision (DSM-IV-TR) (2000) diagnostic criteria that include characteristics of obsessions and compulsions.
- DSM-IV-TR Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th edition text revision
- the addiction is not triggered instantaneously upon exposure to substance of abuse. Rather, it involves multiple, complex neural adaptations that develop with different time courses ranging from hours to days to months (Kauer J. A. Nat. Rev. Neurosci. 2007, 8, 844-858).
- the path to addiction generally begins with the voluntary use of one or more controlled substances, such as narcotics, barbiturates, methamphetamines, alcohol, nicotine, and any of a variety of other such controlled substances. Over time, with extended use of the controlled substance(s), the voluntary ability to abstain from the controlled substance(s) is compromised due to the effects of prolonged use on brain function, and thus on behavior.
- substance addiction generally is characterized by compulsive substance craving, seeking and use that persist even in the face of negative consequences.
- the cravings may represent changes in the underlying neurobiology of the patient which likely must be addressed in a meaningful way if recovery is to be obtained.
- Substance addiction is also characterized in many cases by withdrawal symptoms, which for some substances are life threatening (e.g., alcohol, barbiturates) and in others can result in substantial morbidity (which may include nausea, vomiting, fever, dizziness, and profuse sweating), distress, and decreased ability to obtain recovery.
- alcoholism also known as alcohol dependence
- Alcoholism is primarily characterized by four symptoms, which include cravings, loss of control, physical dependence and tolerance. These symptoms also may characterize addictions to other controlled substances.
- the craving for alcohol, as well as other controlled substances often is as strong as the need for food or water. Thus, an alcoholic may continue to drink despite serious family, health and/or legal ramifications.
- Treating" a condition or patient refers to taking steps to obtain beneficial or desired results, including clinical results.

- Animal models serve as an important resource for developing and evaluating treatments for cognitive impairment associated with CNS disorders.
- Features that characterize cognitive impairment in animal models typically extend to cognitive impairment in humans. Efficacy in such animal models is, thus, expected to be predictive of efficacy in humans.
- the extent of cognitive impairment in an animal model for a CNS disorder, and the efficacy of a method of treatment for said CNS disorder may be tested and confirmed with the use of a variety of cognitive tests.
- a Radial Arm Maze (RAM) behavioral task is one example of a cognitive test, specifically testing spacial memory (Chappell et al. Neuropharmacology 37: 481-487, 1998).
- the RAM apparatus consists of, e.g., eight equidistantly spaced arms. A maze arm projects from each facet of a center platform. A food well is located at the distal end of each arm. Food is used as a reward. Blocks can be positioned to prevent entry to any arm. Numerous extra maze cues surrounding the apparatus may also be provided. After habituation and training phases, spatial memory of the subjects may be tested in the RAM under control or test compound- treated conditions.
- subjects are pretreated before trials with a vehicle control or one of a range of dosages of the test compound.
- a subset of the arms of the eight-arm maze is blocked.
- Subjects are allowed to obtain food on the unblocked arms to which access is permitted during this initial "information phase" of the trial.
- Subjects are then removed from the maze for a delay period, e.g., a 60 second delay, a 15 minute delay, a one-hour delay, a two-hour delay, a six hour delay, a 24 hour delay, or longer) between the information phase and the subsequent "retention test," during which the barriers on the maze are removed, thus allowing access to all eight arms.
- Another cognitive test that may be used to assess the effects of a test compound on the cognitive impairment of a CNS disorder model animal is the Morris water maze.
- a water maze is a pool surrounded with a novel set of patterns relative to the maze.
- the training protocol for the water maze may be based on a modified water maze task that has been shown to be hippocampal-dependent (de Hoz et al, Eur. J. Neurosci., 22:745-54, 2005; Steele and Morris, Hippocampus 9: 118-36, 1999).
- the subject is trained to locate a submerged escape platform hidden underneath the surface of the pool.
- a subject is released in the maze (pool) from random starting positions around the perimeter of the pool.
- the starting position varies from trial to trial. If the subject does not locate the escape platform within a set time, the experimenter guides and places the subject on the platform to "teach" the location of the platform. After a delay period following the last training trial, a retention test in the absence of the escape platform is given to assess spatial memory.
- the subject's level of preference for the location of the (now absent) escape platform as measured by, e.g., the time spent in that location or the number of crossings of that location made by the mouse, indicates better spatial memory, i.e., treatment of cognitive impairment.
- the preference for the location of the escape platform under different treatment conditions can then be compared for efficacy of the test compound in treating cognitive impairment associated with CNS disorders.
- the progression of age- related cognitive impairment and dementia may be monitored by assessing surrogate changes in the brain of the subject.
- Surrogate changes include, without limitation, changes in regional brain volumes, perforant path degradation, and changes seen in brain function through resting state fMRI (R-fMRI) and fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET).
- R-fMRI resting state fMRI
- FDG-PET fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography
- regional brain volumes useful in monitoring the progression of age-related cognitive impairment and dementia include reduction of hippocampal volume and reduction in volume or thickness of entorhinal cortex. These volumes may be measured in a subject by, for example, MRI. Aisen et al, Alzheimer's &
- Perforant path degradation has been shown to be linked to age, as well as reduced cognitive function. For example, older adults with more perforant path degradation tend to perform worse in hippocampus- dependent memory tests. Perforant path degradation may be monitored in subjects through ultrahigh-resolution diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). Yassa et al., PNAS 107: 12687-12691 (2010). Resting-state fMRI (R-fMRI) involves imaging the brain during rest, and recording large-amplitude spontaneous low- frequency ( ⁇ 0.1 Hz) fluctuations in the fMRI signal that are temporally correlated across functionally related areas.
- DTI ultrahigh-resolution diffusion tensor imaging
- Seed-based functional connectivity, independent component analyses, and/or frequency-domain analyses of the signals are used to reveal functional connectivity between brain areas, particularly those areas whose connectivity increase or decrease with age, as well as the extent of cognitive impairment and/or dementia.
- FDG-PET uses the uptake of FDG as a measure of regional metabolic activity in the brain. Decline of FDG uptake in regions such as the posterior cingulated cortex, temporoparietal cortex, and prefrontal association cortex has been shown to relate to the extent of cognitive decline and dementia. Aisen et al., Alzheimer's & Dementia 6:239-246 (2010), Herholz et al,

- Aged rats in the study population have no difficulty swimming to a visible platform, but an age-dependent impairment is detected when the platform is camouflaged, requiring the use of spatial information. Performance for individual aged rats in the outbred Long- Evans strain varies greatly. For example, a proportion of those rats perform on a par with young adults. However, approximately 40-50% fall outside the range of young performance. This variability among aged rats reflects reliable individual differences. Thus, within the aged population some animals are cognitively impaired and designated aged-impaired (Al) and other animals are not impaired and are designated aged-unimpaired (AU). See, e.g., Colombo et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci.

- TDS Time-dependent sensitization
- Rats are placed in a restrainer, then placed in a swim tank and made to swim for a period of time, e.g., 20 min. Following this, each rat is then immediately exposed to a gaseous anesthetic until loss of consciousness, and finally dried. The animals are left undisturbed for a number of days, e.g., one week.

- the cognitive impairments associated with schizophrenia constitute a good predictor for functional outcome and are a core feature of the disorder.
- Cognitive features in schizophrenia reflect dysfunction in frontal cortical and hippocampal circuits. Patients with schizophrenia also present hippocampal pathologies such as reductions in hippocampal volume, reductions in neuronal size and dysfunctional hyperactivity. An imbalance in excitation and inhibition in these brain regions has also been documented in schizophrenic patients suggesting that drugs targeting inhibitory mechanisms could be therapeutic. See, e.g., Guidotti et al,
- One animal model of schizophrenia is protracted treatment with methionine. Methionine-treated mice exhibit deficient expression of GAD67 in frontal cortex and hippocampus, similar to those reported in the brain of postmortem schizophrenia patients. They also exhibit prepulse inhibition of startle and social interaction deficits (Tremonlizzo et al, PNAS, 99: 17095-17100, 2002).
- Another animal model of schizophrenia is methylaoxymethanol acetate (MAM)-treatment in rats. Pregnant female rats are administered MAM (20 mg/kg, intraperitoneal) on gestational day 17.
- MAM -treatment recapitulate a pathodevelopmental process to schizophrenia-like phenotypes in the offspring, including anatomical changes, behavioral deficits and altered neuronal information processing. More specifically, MAM-treated rats display a decreased density of parvalbumin-positive GABAergic interneurons in portions of the prefrontal cortex and hippocampus. In behavioral tests, MAM-treated rats display reduced latent inhibition. Latent inhibition is a behavioral phenomenon where there is reduced learning about a stimulus to which there has been prior exposure with any consequence. This tendency to disregard previously benign stimuli, and reduce the formation of association with such stimuli is believed to prevent sensory overload. Low latent inhibition is indicative of psychosis. Latent inhibition may be tested in rats in the following manner. Rats are divided into two groups.
- One group is pre- exposed to a tone over multiple trials.
- the other group has no tone presentation.
- Both groups are then exposed to an auditory fear conditioning procedure, in which the same tone is presented concurrently with a noxious stimulus, e.g. an electric shock to the foot.
- a noxious stimulus e.g. an electric shock to the foot.
- both groups are presented with the tone, and the rats' change in locomotor activity during tone presentation is monitored.
- the rats respond to the tone presentation by strongly reducing locomotor activity.
- the group that has been exposed to the tone before the conditioning period displays robust latent inhibition: the suppression of locomotor activity in response to tone presentation is reduced.
- MAM-treated rats by contrast show impaired latent inhibition.

- Parkinson's disease is a neurological disorder characterized by a decrease of voluntary movements.
- the afflicted patient has reduction of motor activity and slower voluntary movements compared to the normal individual.
- the patient has characteristic "mask” face, a tendency to hurry while walking, bent over posture and generalized weakness of the muscles.
- Another important feature of the disease is the tremor of the extremities occurring at rest and decreasing during movements.
- Parkinson's disease belongs to a group of the most common movement disorders named parkinsonism, which affects approximately one person per one thousand.
- parkinsonism which affects approximately one person per one thousand.
- These other disorders grouped under the name of parkinsonism may result from viral infection, syphilis, arteriosclerosis and trauma and exposure to toxic chemicals and narcotics. Nonetheless, it is believed that the inappropriate loss of synaptic stability may lead to the disruption of neuronal circuits and to brain diseases.

- the main pathologic feature is degeneration of dopaminergic cells in basal ganglia, especially in substantia nigra. Due to premature death of the dopamine containing neurons in substantia nigra, the largest structure of the basal ganglia, the striatum, will have reduced input from substantia nigra resulting in decreased dopamine release.
- the understanding of the underlying pathology led to the introduction of the first successful treatment which can alleviate Parkinson's disease.
- Virtually all approaches to the therapy of the disease are based on dopamine replacement. Drugs currently used in the treatment can be converted into dopamine after crossing the blood brain barrier, or they can boost the synthesis of dopamine and reduce its breakdown.
- the main pathologic event, degeneration of the cells in substantia nigra is not helped. The disease continues to progress and frequently after a certain length of time, dopamine replacement treatment will lose its effectiveness.

- Obsessive compulsive disorder is a mental condition that is most commonly characterized by intrusive, repetitive unwanted thoughts
- OCD OCD is the fourth most common mental disorder in the United States. Some studies suggest the prevalence of OCD is between one and three percent, although the prevalence of clinically recognized OCD is much lower, suggesting that many individuals with the disorder may not be diagnosed. Patients with OCD are often diagnosed by a psychologist, psychiatrist, or psychoanalyst according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th edition text revision (DSM-IV-TR) (2000) diagnostic criteria that include characteristics of obsessions and compulsions.
- Characteristics of obsession include: (1) recurrent and persistent thoughts, impulses, or images that are experienced as intrusive and that cause marked anxiety or distress; (2) the thoughts, impulses, or images are not simply excessive worries about real-life problems; and (3) the person attempts to ignore or suppress such thoughts, impulses, or images, or to neutralize them with some other thought or action.
- the person recognizes that the obsessional thoughts, impulses, or images are a product of his or her own mind, and are not based in reality.
- Characteristics of compulsion include: (1) repetitive behaviors or mental acts that the person feels driven to perform in response to an obsession, or according to rules that must be applied rigidly; (2) the behaviors or mental acts are aimed at preventing or reducing distress or preventing some dreaded event or situation; however, these behaviors or mental acts are not actually connected to the issue, or they are excessive.
- the dysfunction in neuronal communication is considered one of the underlying causes for obsession disorder (Myrrhe van Spronsen and Casper C. Hoogenraad, Curr. Neurol. Neurosci. Rep. 2010, 10, 207-214).
- OCD may be related to abnormal levels of a neurotransmitter called serotonin.

- Substance addiction e.g., drug substance addiction, alcohol substance addiction
- substance addiction is not triggered instantaneously upon exposure to substance of abuse. Rather, it involves multiple, complex neural adaptations that develop with different time courses ranging from hours to days to months (Kauer J. A. Nat. Rev. Neurosci. 2007, 8, 844-858).
- the path to substance addiction generally begins with the voluntary use of one or more controlled substances, such as narcotics, barbiturates, methamphetamines, alcohol, nicotine, and any of a variety of other such controlled substances.
- substance addiction generally is characterized by compulsive substance craving, seeking and use that persist even in the face of negative consequences.
- the cravings may represent changes in the underlying neurobiology of the patient which likely must be addressed in a meaningful way if recovery is to be obtained.
- Substance addiction is also characterized in many cases by withdrawal symptoms, which for some substances are life threatening (e.g., alcohol, barbiturates) and in others can result in substantial morbidity (which may include nausea, vomiting, fever, dizziness, and profuse sweating), distress, and decreased ability to obtain recovery.
- Alcoholism also known as alcohol dependence
- Alcoholism is one such substance addiction.
- Alcoholism is primarily characterized by four symptoms, which include cravings, loss of control, physical dependence and tolerance. These symptoms also may characterize substance addictions to other controlled substances. The craving for alcohol, as well as other controlled substances, often is as strong as the need for food or water. Thus, an alcoholic may continue to drink despite serious family, health and/or legal ramifications.

- the GABA-gated CI- current from oocytes are measured in the TEVC setup in the presence of the test compounds.
- the agonist activity of each the test compounds is tested in a 5 -point dose-response assay.
- the test compounds include some reference compounds (literature EC50 values for the a5p3y2subtype are in the range of 3-10 ⁇ ). EC50s in the a5p3y2subtype are obtained for each compound. If the EC50 in ⁇ 5 ⁇ 3 ⁇ 2 is ⁇ 5 ⁇ , then the EC50 of the other three subtypes ( ⁇ 1 ⁇ 2 ⁇ 2, ⁇ 2 ⁇ 3 ⁇ 2 and ⁇ 3 ⁇ 3 ⁇ 2) is further determined individually in order to test for selectivity of the compounds in the c ⁇ 3y2subtype over other subtypes.

- the agonist activity of the compounds of this invention was determined by measuring their effect on GABA-gated CI- current from Xenopus oocytes expressing GABAA ⁇ 5 ⁇ 3 ⁇ 2 subtype receptor in a two-electrode voltage clamp (TEVC) setup. Compounds demonstrating greater than 5% potentiation of the
- GABA EC50 were indicative of compounds with positive allosteric modulation of the GABAA 5 receptor. That is, these compounds would enhance the effects of GABA at the GABA A a5 receptor.
- GABA stocks were prepared in the extracellular solution, i.e., Modified Barth's Saline (MBS) containing NaCl (88 mM), KC1 (2 mM), MgS0 4 (0.82 mM), Ca(N0 3 ) 2 (0.33 mM), CaCl 2 (0.41 mM), NaHC0 3 (2.4 mM) and HEPES (10 mM).
- MBS Modified Barth's Saline
- Flumazenil and compounds of the present invention were prepared in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and then diluted to an appropriate concentration with the extracellular solution just before use. To avoid adverse effects from DMSO exposure, the final concentration of DMSO was not higher than 0.3% (v/v).
- Xenopus oocytes were isolated according to previously published procedures (see, e.g., Goldin et al. Methods Enzymol. 207:266-279 (1992)). The isolated Xenopus oocytes were injected with GABAAR CDNAS (1 : 1 : 1 ratio for a total volume of 1 ng of ⁇ 1 ⁇ 2 ⁇ 2 or ⁇ 5 ⁇ 3 ⁇ 2) cloned into mammalian expression vectors. In particular, al, ⁇ 2, ⁇ 2 were cloned into pcDNA3.1. and a5 and ⁇ 3 were cloned into pcDNA3.1 myc-His. Vectors were verified by partial sequencing (DNA Core Facility, University of Southern California, USA).
- oocytes were stored in incubation medium (Modified Barth's Saline (MBS) supplemented with 2 mM sodium pyruvate, 0.5 mM theophylline and 50 mg/L gentamycin), in petri dishes (VWR, San Dimas, CA). All solutions were sterilized by passage through 0.22 ⁇ filters.
- Oocytes stored at 18°C, usually expressed GABAARS (e.g., ⁇ 5 ⁇ 3 ⁇ 2 or ⁇ 1 ⁇ 2 ⁇ 2 subtype), 1-2 days after injections. Oocytes were used in experiments for up to 5 days after injection.

- GABAARS or 0.3 ⁇ - 1 mM for a5-containing GABAARS
- GABAARS or 0.3 ⁇ - 1 mM for a5-containing GABAARS
- 5-15 min washes between the applications Longer wash periods were allowed after the applications of higher GAB A concentrations.
- a GABA dose-response experiment was conducted to determine an approximate GABA EC50 concentration for the batch of oocytes. EC50 ranged from 100-200 ⁇ for al-containing GABAARS, and 10-20 ⁇ a5-containing
- Diazepam and Flumazenil were used as reference compounds.
- the GABA-gated CI current from oocytes expressing ⁇ 5 ⁇ 3 ⁇ 2 GABAAR was measured in the TEVC setup in the presence of Diazepam and Flumazenil.
- GABA EC20 was applied for 30 sec 4-5 times to establish a stable response. 1 ⁇
- Diazepam was pre-applied for 60 sec, followed by co-application of 1 ⁇
- Diazepam and EC20 GABA was repeated to establish the recovery. [0289] The effect of Diazepam was analyzed from the peak amplitude of
- Diazepam-(plus EC20 GABA)-induced current test 1 with the peak amplitude of GABA-induced current before the Diazepam application (reference).
- the effect of Flumazenil was determined from the peak amplitude of Diazepam-plus- Flumazenil-(plus EC20 GABA)-induced current (test 2) normalized on the peak amplitude of Diazepam-induced current (control).
- Other compounds may also be used in this study as reference compounds. For example, methyl-6,7-dimethoxy-4- ethyl-beta-carboline-3-carboxylate (DMCM) and L655708 were tested at 1 ⁇ , using the same protocol.
- DMCM methyl-6,7-dimethoxy-4- ethyl-beta-carboline-3-carboxylate
- L655708 were tested at 1 ⁇ , using the same protocol.
- test compounds (1 ⁇ ) were pre-applied for 60 sec, followed by coadministration of the test compounds (1 ⁇ ) and GABA at EC 50 concentration for 30 sec. After a 15-20 min wash, EC 50 GABA was tested once again. Upon conclusion of compound testing and successful washout, a 1.0 ⁇ Diazepam was tested and used for comparative activity on the two GABAAR subtypes.
- test compound The effect of each test compound was determined from the peak amplitude of Diazepam-plus-compound-(plus EC 50 GABA)-induced current normalized on the peak amplitude of Diazepam-(plus EC 50 GABA)-induced current (control). Other concentrations of the test compound may also be tested following the same protocol.
- a compound which demonstrates greater than 5% potentiation of the GABA EC 50 is indicative that the compound has a positive allosteric modulatory effect on the GABAA 5 receptor. Such compound will enhance the effects of GABA at the GABAA 5 receptor.
- Exemplary compounds that demonstrated greater than 5% potentiation of the GABA EC 50 are shown in Table 3 below. Table 3: Exemplary compounds with >5% Potentiation of GABA EC50 Concentration in Oocytes containing GABAA receptors ( ⁇ 5 ⁇ 3 ⁇ 2)
- Compound 26 demonstrated positive allosteric modulation of GABA at the GABAA a5 receptor with no evidence of activity at the GABAA al receptor, indicating that this compound is a GABAA a5 receptor specific agonist, consistent with specificity of this compound for the GABAA a5 receptor relative to the GABAA al receptor.
- Methyl 3,5-diphenylpyridazine-4-carboxylate corresponding to compound number 6 in van Niel et al. J. Med. Chem. 48:6004-6011 (2005), is a selective a5 -containing GABAA R agonist. It has an a5 in vitro efficacy of +27 (EC 20 ).
- the effect of methyl 3,5-diphenylpyridazine-4-carboxylate in aged- impaired rats was studied using a RAM task.
- receptor occupancy by methyl 3,5-diphenylpyridazine-4-carboxylate in a5-containing GABAA receptor was also studied.
- the RAM apparatus used consisted of eight equidistantly-spaced arms.
- a food well (4 cm diameter, 2 cm deep) was located at the distal end of each arm.
- Froot LoopsTM (Kellogg Company) were used as rewards. Blocks constructed of PlexiglasTM (30 cm height x 12 cm width) could be positioned to prevent entry to any arm.
- the AI rats were initially subjected to a pre-training test (Chappell et al. Neuropharmacology 37: 481-487, 1998).
- the pre-training test consisted of a habituation phase (4 days), a training phase on the standard win-shift task (18 days) and another training phase (14 days) in which a brief delay was imposed between presentation of a subset of arms designated by the experimenter ⁇ e.g. , 5 arms available and 3 arms blocked) and completion of the eight-arm win-shift task (i.e., with all eight arms available).
- Rats were allowed to obtain food on the five arms to which access was permitted during this initial "information phase” of the trial. Rats were then removed from the maze for 60 seconds, during which time the barriers on the maze were removed, thus allowing access to all eight arms. Rats were then placed back onto the center platform and allowed to obtain the remaining food rewards during this "retention test" phase of the trial. The identity and configuration of the blocked arms varied across trials.
- rats were subjected to trials with more extended delay intervals, i.e., a two-hour delay, between the information phase (presentation with some blocked arms) and the retention test (presentation of all arms). During the delay interval, rats remained off to the side of the maze in the testing room, on carts in their individual home cages.
- AI rats were pretreated 30 - 40 minutes before daily trials with a one-time shot of the following five conditions: 1) vehicle control - 5% dimethyl sulfoxide, 25% polyethylene glycol 300 and 70% distilled water; 2) methyl 3,5-diphenylpyridazine-4-carboxylate at 0.1 mg/kg; 3) methyl 3,5-diphenylpyridazine-4-carboxylate at 0.3 mg/kg; 4) methyl 3,5- diphenylpyridazine-4-carboxylate at 1 mg/kg); and 5) methyl 3,5- diphenylpyridazine-4-carboxylate at 3 mg/kg; through intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection.
- vehicle control - 5% dimethyl sulfoxide, 25% polyethylene glycol 300 and 70% distilled water
- Ro 15-4513 was used as a receptor occupancy (RO) tracer for GABAA(X5 receptor sites in the hippocampus and cerebellum.
- Ro 15-4513 was chosen as the tracer based on its selectivity for GABAA(X5 receptors relative to other alpha subunit containing GABAA receptors and because it has been successfully used for GABAA(X5 RO studies in animals and humans (see, e.g., Lingford-Hughes et al, J. Cereb. Blood Flow Metab. 22:878-89 (2002); Pym et al, Br. J. Pharmacol. 146: 817-825 (2005); and Maeda et al, Synapse 47: 200-208 (2003)).
- RO receptor occupancy
- the rats were sacrificed by cervical dislocation 20' post tracer injection. The whole brain was rapidly removed, and lightly rinsed with sterile water. Trunk blood was collected in EDTA coated eppendorf tubes and stored on wet ice until study completion. Hippocampus and cerebellum were dissected and stored in 1.5 ml eppendorf tubes, and placed on wet ice until tissue extraction. In a drug na ' ive rat, six cortical brain tissues samples were collected for use in generating blank and standard curve samples.
- Acetonitrile containing 0.1% formic acid was added to each sample at a volume of four times the weight of the tissue sample.
- a calculated volume of standard reduced the volume of acetonitrile.
- the sample was homogenized (FastPrep-24, Lysing Matrix D; 5.5 m/s, for 60 seconds or 7-8 watts power using sonic probe dismembrator; Fisher Scientific) and centrifuged for 16-minutes at 14,000 rpm.
- the (100 ⁇ ) supernatant solution was diluted by 300 ⁇ of sterile water (pH 6.5). This solution was then mixed thoroughly and analyzed via LC/MS/MS for Ro 15-4513 (tracer) and methyl 3 ,5 -diphenylpyridazine-4-carboxylate .
- Receptor occupancy was determined by the ratio method which compared occupancy in the hippocampus (a region of high GABAA(X5 receptor density) with occupancy in the cerebellum (a region with low GABAA(X5 receptor density) and additionally by a high dose of the GABAA(X5 negative allosteric modulator L- 655,708 (10 mg/kg, i.v.) to define full occupancy.
- Methyl 3,5-diphenylpyridazine-4-carboxylate exposure was below the quantification limits (BQL) at 0.01 mg/kg, i.v., in both plasma and hippocampus and but was detectable at low levels in hippocampus at 0.1 mg/kg, i.v. (see Table 4).
- Hippocampal exposure was linear as a 10-fold increase in dose from 0.1 to 1 mg/kg, i.v., resulted in a 12-fold increase in exposure.
- Increasing the dose from 1 to 10 mg/kg, i.v. only increased the exposure by ⁇ 5-fold.
- Plasma exposure increased 12-fold as the dose increased from 1 to 10 mg/kg, i.v.

- Cognitive ly impaired aged rats were implanted unilaterally with a cannula into the lateral ventricle.
- Stereotaxic coordinates were 1.0 mm posterior to bregma, 1.5 mm lateral to midline, and 3.5 mm ventral to the skull surface.
- the rats were pre-trained in a water maze for 2 days (6 trials per day) to locate a submerged escape platform hidden underneath the surface of the pool, in which the escape platform location varied from day to day.
- intracerebroventricular (ICV) infusion was given during pre -training.
- rats treated with 6,6 dimethyl-3 -(3- hydroxypropyl)thio- 1 -(thiazol-2-yl)-6,7-dihydro-2-benzothiophen-4(5H)-one were able to find the platform more proficiently (i.e., quicker) at the end of training (block 4) than those treated with vehicle alone.
- rats treated with 6,6 dimethyl-3-(3-hydroxypropyl)thio-l-(thiazol-2-yl)-6,7-dihydro-2-benzothiophen- 4(5H)-one spent about 9.6 seconds to find the escape platform, while rats treated with vehicle spent about 19.69 seconds.
- target annulus is a designated area 1.5 times the size of the escape platform around the area where the platform was located during pre-trial training.
- Optosite annulus is a control area of the same size as the size of the target annulus, which is located opposite to the target annulus in the pool.
- Rats had good long term memory, they would tend to search in the area surrounding the location where the platform was during the pre-trial training (i.e., the "target” annulus; and not the “opposite” annulus).
- “Time in annulus” is the amount of time in seconds that the rat spent in the target or opposite annulus area.
- Numberer (#) of crossings” in annulus is the number of times the rat swam across the target or opposite annulus area.
- compounds of the present invention should produce cognitive enhancing effects in aged-impaired animals (such as rats), similar to the effects produced by other GABA A 5 receptor selective agonists, such as methyl 3,5- diphenylpyridazine-4-carboxylate, ethyl 3-methoxy-7-methyl-9H- benzo[f]imidazo[l,5-a][l,2,4]triazolo[4,3-d][l,4]diazepine-10-carboxylate, and 6,6 dimethyl-3-(3-hydroxypropyl)thio-l-(thiazol-2-yl)-6,7-dihydro-2-benzothiophen- 4(5H)-one ⁇ See, e.g., Examples 8-10).
- GABA A 5 receptor selective agonists such as methyl 3,5- diphenylpyridazine-4-carboxylate, ethyl 3-methoxy-7-methyl-9H- benzo[f]imidazo[l,5-
