Abstract

This thesis describes the preparation of pyrazolo[1-5-a]-1,3,5-triazine analogs of the Ca2+ channel agonist and cyclin-dependant kinase inhibitor (R)-roscovitine. Initially, methods to improve the published synthetic route to these analogs were investigated. Subsequently, several analogs with the pyrazolotriazine core were prepared and evaluated for agonist properties. Preliminary results suggest that this modified core retains and in some cases improves agonist behavior. A substantial increase in both the Ca2+ tail-current integral and the decay time constant tau were observed with the most active analogs MF-06 and MF-17. Modifications to the C-8 alkyl and C-2 aminobutanol sidechains did not improve agonist activity.
