ChemInform Abstract
The class of sodium ion channel neurotoxins is investigated. The necessity of the oxygen triad, heteroatom and lipophilic moiety is examined by preparing and evaluating a number of potential pharmacophore representatives. The batrachotoxin partial structures ( VII), (IX), and (XIV) which display the key molecular features of the class II channel toxins, are prepared as pharmacophore targets to probe for potential batrachotoxin activity. Analogue (XIV) demonstrates the highest levels of antagonist activity.
