Herein we report the discovery and structure activity relationship (SAR) of a novel, second generation metabotropic glutamate receptor 3 (mGlu) negative allosteric modulator (NAM) probe (ML337) with >50-fold selectivity versus mGlu (IC >30 μM). The mGlu NAM was discovered via an iterative parallel synthesis optimization of the first generation mGlu NAM ML289, that was only ~15-fold selective. This mGlu NAM (60204017, ML337) displays an IC value of 592 nM and is inactive (>30 μM) on mGlu (as well as mGlu) and clean in a Ricerca ancillary pharmacology panel. ML337 possesses favorable physiochemical properties, a good dystrophia myotonica protein kinase (DMPK) profile and is centrally penetrant. Thus, ML337 is a best-in-class and probe for studying non-competitive antagonism of mGlu.
在此,我们报告了一种新型第二代代谢型谷氨酸受体3(mGlu)负变构调节剂(NAM)探针(ML337)的发现及其构效关系(SAR),该探针对mGlu具有大于50倍的选择性(IC>30μM)。该mGlu NAM是通过对第一代mGlu NAM ML289进行迭代平行合成优化而发现的,第一代mGlu NAM的选择性仅约为15倍。这种mGlu NAM(60204017,ML337)的IC值为592 nM,对mGlu(以及mGlu)无活性(>30μM),并且在Ricerca辅助药理学面板中表现纯净。ML337具有良好的物理化学性质、良好的强直性肌营养不良蛋白激酶(DMPK)特征,并且能够穿透中枢。因此,ML337是研究mGlu非竞争性拮抗作用的同类最佳探针。
