Pazinaclone(DN-2327) is asedativeandanxiolyticdrug in thecyclopyrrolonefamily of drugs. Some other cyclopyrrolone drugs includezopicloneandeszopiclone.

Pazinaclone has a very similar pharmacological profile to thebenzodiazepinesincluding sedative and anxiolytic properties, but with lessamnesticeffects,[1]and at low doses it is a relatively selective anxiolytic, with sedative effects only appearing at higher doses.[2]

Pazinaclone produces its sedative and anxiolytic effects by acting as apartial agonistatGABAAbenzodiazepine receptors, although pazinaclone is more subtype-selective than most benzodiazepines.[3]

Synthesis[edit]

Pazinaclone synthesis:U.S. patent 4,778,801

Reaction of 2-amino-7-chloro-1,8-naphthyridinewithphthalic anhydrideleads to the corresponding phthalimide. Selective reduction of one of the imide carbonyl groups in essence converts that to an aldehyde. Condensation withtert-butyl(triphenylphosphoranylidene)acetate gives the Wittig product.

The carboxylic acid is then treated with diethyl cyanophosphonate to convert that to an activated acid cyanide; reaction with 1,4-dioxa-8-azaspiro[4.5]decane results in formation of the corresponding amide, pazinaclone.
