Various photoactive phenothiazines were synthesized that possessed a 2-azido, 3-azido, 2-benzoyl, or 1,3,4-trifluoro-2-azido functionality in combination with various modifications of the N-alkyl side chain. These phenothiazines were evaluated for their ability to inhibit the calmodulin-mediated activation of phosphodiesterase (PDE). All were active in inhibiting the action of calmodulin (CaM), but those possessing either a 3-azido and a 4-(4-methyl-1-piperazinyl)butyl side chain or a 2-benzoyl group and 3-(dimethylamino)propyl side chain proved to be most active (I50 = 14 +/- 3 microM and 7 +/- 1 microM, respectively) when compared to the known inhibitor, chlorpromazine (CPZ, I50 = 30 microM). Calmodulin was photolabeled with ca. 35% efficiency in a light- and calcium-dependent fashion using a radiolabeled analog, 3-azido-10-(4-(4-[14C]methyl-1-piperazinyl)butyl)phenothiazine, of one of these compounds. Competition studies using this radiolabeled analog and CPZ were consistent with binding to one or both of the hydrophobic binding pockets of CaM.
