Cartazolate

Cartazolate (SQ-65,396) is a drug of the pyrazolopyridine class. It acts as a GABAA receptor positive allosteric modulator at the barbiturate binding site of the complex and has anxiolytic effects in animals.[1][2][3][4] It is also known to act as an adenosine antagonist at the A1 and A2 subtypes and as a phosphodiesterase inhibitor.[5][6] Cartazolate was tested in human clinical trials and was found to be efficacious for anxiety but was never marketed.[7] It was developed by a team at E.R. Squibb and Sons in the 1970s.[8]

Synthesis
Cartazolate and Etazolate synthesis: HOEHN H, DENZEL T; DE 2123318 (1970 to E. R. Squibb & Sons Inc.).

Condensation of aminopyrazole (1) with diethyl ethoxymethylenemalonate (2) gives the product of the addition-elimination (3). The product tautomerizes spontaneously to the hydroxypyridine (4). The hydroxyl group is then converted to the chloro-derivative by means of phosphorus oxychloride (5). Displacement of halogen by n-butylamine gives the antidepressant compound cartazolate. Displacement of halogen by the basic nitrogen of acetone hydrazone[9] affords the antidepressant etazolate.
