pubmed-article:19716698 | pubmed:abstractText | Neuronal sodium channels blockers interfere with ion flux and have been used for managing neuropathic pain, epilepsy, and cerebral ischemic disorders. In the current study, four groups of 2,4-diamino-1,3,5-triazine derivatives were synthesized and investigated for their neuronal sodium channels binding activity. 5-Aryl-1,3,5-triazaspiro[5.5]undeca-1,3-diene-2,4-diamines (4a-4j) were found to have the best neuronal sodium binding activity among the four groups of triazines evaluated. Derivatives 4a-4j blocked the sodium channels with IC50 values ranged from 4.0 to 14.7 microM. The result from this study showed that analogues of 2,4-diamino-1,3,5-triazines could be used as leads for the discovery of neuronal sodium channels blockers for managing central nervous system related disorders. | lld:pubmed |
