2 N N NH 2 1 2 R groups can be introduced by analogy with procedures indicated above for correspondingly 10 substituted triazines. Biological Testing Compounds of Formula (I) were tested for various activities as follows: 15 Screening strategy The screening strategy is designed to select compounds with appropriate sodium channel blocking activity and low side effect liability. To this end all compounds are processed through the primary sodium channel assay (veratrine-evoked uptake of [ 14 C]guanidine into rat forebrain synaptosomes) and IC50 values computed from generated concentration-effect 20 curves. In order to complement this data IC5o's for selected compounds to inhibit binding of
[
3 H]BTX-B are also measured. Previous studies have shown that substituted triazines are potential inhibitors of DiHydroFolate Reductase (DHFR) activity (McCullough and Bertino 1971, Cashmore et al, 25 1975, Booth et al, 1987) and Sapse et al, 1994). Inhibitors of DHFR (such as Methotrexate) have been used for the treatment of various cancers (Suster et al, 1978 and Niculescu-Duvaz et al, 1982) as inhibition of this enzyme interferes with cell growth but because of this effect (on cell growth) inhibitors of DHFR may also be teratogenic (Skalko and Gold, 1974, Feldcamp and Carey, 1993 and Buckley et al, 1997). Should compounds be found which are 30 potent inhibitors of DHFR then such compounds may, themselves, have potential as anti cancer agents. Several methods are available for measurement of inhibition of DHFR activity and for this study we have examined effects of compounds to inhibit the binding of [ 3 H] methotrexate (Myers et al, 1975 and Rothenberg et al, 1977). 35 Another common side-effect marker is inhibition of human Ether-a-go-go Related Gene potassium (hERG) potassium channel (Inward rectifying, r) activity which can be fatal due to heart failure brought about by development of long QT syndrome. A useful preliminary screen to assess potential to affect this channel is assessed by measurement of inhibition of the binding of [3H]astemizole to cell membranes expressing hERG. Selected compounds are 60 tested for this activity by measurement of inhibition @ 10 pM. Assuming inhibition values lie between 10% and 90% it is possible to compute an extrapolated IC50 for each compound. The above screening cascade identifies compounds with appropriate sodium channel 5 blocking activities that have a low(er) propensity for aforementioned side-effect liabilities. In order to develop these compounds further, some knowledge of their pharmacodynamic properties is required. Sodium channel blockers, such as Sipatrigine, which both reduces the neurological deficit and 10 infarct volume after middle cerebral artery occlusion in rats (Smith et al, 1997) and phenytoin, (which protect retinal ganglion cell death in an experimental model of glaucoma (Hains and Waxman, 2005) show neuroprotective efficacy in a range of models of nerve degeneration.. As failure of oxygen supply compromises both glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation, ischaemic damage ultimately leads to electrical failure (nerve signalling) and pump failure 15 (restoration of cellular membrane potentials). These failures (of electrical and ion pump activity) are associated with decreased local concentrations of ATP (Astrup et al 1981). Thus the effect of compounds to maintain concentrations of ATP in 0.4 mm slices of rat hippocampus following a severe metabolic insult was used. 20 Experimental procedures Preparation of rat forebrain synaptosomes and homogenates Experiments were performed using forebrain (whole brain less cerebellum/medulla) from Male Wistar rats weighing 175-250g. All efforts were made to reduce the number of animals used and all experiments were carried out in accordance with the UK Animals (Scientific 25 Procedures) Act, 1986 and the European Community Council Directive of 24 November 1986 (86/609/EEC). Following killing of animals by stunning and decapitation, the forebrain (whole brain less cerebellum/medulla) was rapidly dissected and transferred to a weighed tube containing ice-cold 0.25M sucrose. 30 Synaptosomes (heavy and light mitochondrial fraction containing synaptosomes) were prepared by transferring the forebrain (of known wet weight) to a glass Potter vessel to which 9 volumes ice-cold 0.25M sucrose had been added and homogenising, using a teflon pestle, by 8 'up and down strokes' of a Braun Potter S motor driven homogeniser set to 900rpm. The resulting homogenate was centrifuged at 1036 x g at 4' for 10 min and the supernatant 35 collected. The remaining pellet was resuspended, as above, in fresh ice-cold 0.25M sucrose and the centrifugation step repeated. The supernatant fractions were pooled and centrifuged at 40,000 x g (average) at 4' for 15 min and the resulting pellet resuspended in the appropriate assay buffer at a concentration of 20-25 mg wet weight per ml appropriate assay buffer.
61 Homogenates were prepared by transferring the known weight of forebrain to a cooled tube containing 9 volumes of ice-cold 50mM pH 7.4 HEPES buffer. The mixture was homogenised @ 4' by 3 x 5 sec bursts of an Ultra-TurraxTM homogeniser set at maximum speed. The resulting homogenate was centrifuged at 40,000 x g (average) at 4' for 15 min and the 5 supernatant discarded. The resulting pellet was resuspended in 9 volumes of fresh ice-cold pH 7.4 buffer (as above), the centrifugation step was repeated and the resulting pellet resuspended in the [ 3 H]BTX-B binding buffer at a concentration of 20-25 mg wet weight per ml assay buffer. 10 [ 14 C] guanidine flux and binding of [ 3 H]BTX-B Both assays were carried out using 14ml polypropylene test tubes to which a range of concentrations of the compounds under test were added. Test compounds were dissolved in DMSO and added to assays such that maximum concentration of DMSO did not exceed 2% v/v. 15

[3H]Batrachotoxinin A 20-alpha-benzoate binding to sodium channels in rat brain: characterization and pharmacological significance. Eur J Pharmacol. 1986 May 27;124(3):291-8. Binding of [ 3 H]BTX-B 25 [ 3 H]BTX-B binding was carried out using the method described by Catterall et al (1981), except that both bovine serum albumin and TTX were omitted from the incubation medium.

Chem. 1981 Sep. 10; 256(17): 8922-7. Binding of [ 3 H]Methotrexate All steps were carried out at 4' (or on ice). Freshly dissected rat liver was dissected into 0.25M ice-cold Sucrose and subsequently homogenised (U-turrax) in 50 mM pH 6.0 35 phosphate buffer (10 ml/g tissue) containing 15 mM Dithiothreitol. The resulting homogenate was centrifuged @ 47,500 x g for 20 min and supernatant (filtered through cotton wool to remove fatty lumps) stored @ -80' before use (Rothenberg et al).
62 Inhibition of the binding of [ 3 H]methotrexate to rat liver homogenate supernatant fractions were carried out essentially as described by Arons et al, 1975. Results were calculated, either as IC50 values (see below) derived from concentration-effect curves or as percentage inhibition values determined by comparison with control and cold Methotrexate (10 pM final 5 concentration) binding values.

Perwaiz lqbal; Cancer Research 35, August 1, 1975, 2033-2038, 10 Computation of IC 50 values Data are presented as mean ± sem of number of experiments indicated in brackets. IC 50 values were obtained from radioligand displacement or guanidine flux inhibition curves by plotting logo concentration vs bound ligand/guanidine uptake according the equation: y = Rmin + Rsp / {1+exp [-n (x-C)]} 15 where y = bound (dpm) x = logo compound concentration Rmin = lower asymptote (i.e. 100% inhibition) Rsp = upper asymptote - Rmin (i.e. specific binding) 20 n = slope (loge) and C = IC 50 (i.e. concentration required to inhibit 50% of specific binding Hippocampal slice assay 25 Neuroprotective efficacy was measured in 0.4 mm slices of rat hippocampus using the method described by Fowler and Li (1998) 1 except that lodoacetate (400 pM) 2 was used as the metabolic insult. Compounds (usually 30 pM) were always directly compared with tetrodotoxin (1 pM) 3 for their ability to maintain slice concentrations of ATP following inhibition of glycolysis. 30 References: 1.

63 Measurement of ATP and protein Individual slices were disrupted by ultra-sonication and the resulting homogenates centrifuged @ 10000 x g for 5 min @ 4'. The supernatant was decanted into a fresh tube and any remaining supernatant removed by vacuum aspiration. The pellet was resuspended in 0.5 ml 5 0.1M KOH by ultra-sonication and the resulting suspensions warmed with gentle agitation @ 37 0 for 30 minutes. Concentrations of ATP were measured in 6 pl of supernatant by mixing with Luciferase reagent (ATPLite from Perkin Elmer) and measuring subsequent luminescence in a 96-well plate Counter. 10 Protein concentration was measured using BCATM protein assay (Pierce) withBovine Serum albumin as reference standard. ATP concentrations were expressed as nmoles/ mg protein and neuroprotective indices (% 15 protection) calculated by direct comparison with the effect of 1 pM TTX. hERG: Compounds were sent to MDS Pharma for measurement of their inhibition @ 10 pM concentration of the binding of [ 3 H]astemizole to HEK-293 cells expressing human 20 recombinant hERG. Making the assumption that binding slopes would be 1.0 IC 50 values could be calculated (see above) for compounds exhibiting between 5% and 95% inhibition of binding.
