Quinoxalinedione is an organic compound with the formula C6H4(NH)2(CO)2. It is a colorless solid that is soluble in polar organic solvents. Quinoxalinediones are a family of related compounds sharing the same bicyclic core. Various quinoxalinediones are drugs.[1]

Synthesis and structure

Quinoxalinedione is produced by condensation of dimethyloxalate and o-phenylenediamine:

C2O2(OMe)2 + C6H4(NH2)2 → C6H4(NH)2(CO)2 + 2 MeOH

The compound exists in solution and the solid state predominantly as the diamide form.[2] Some reactions of the compound indicate a role for the diol tautomer.

Drugs based on quinoxalinediones

Quinoxalinediones act as antagonists of the AMPA, kainate, and/or NMDA receptors of the ionotropic glutamate receptor family.[3][4][5][6] Examples include the following:

A drug closely related to the quinoxalinediones, but possessing a quinazoline-2,4-dione structure instead, is selurampanel. Caroverine is another closely related drug to the above, but instead containing a quinoxaline-2-one structure.
