Herein we report the design and synthesis of a series of substituted pyrazolo[1,5-a]quinazolin-5(4H)-ones as negative allosteric modulators of metabotropic glutamate receptors 2 and 3 (mGlu2 and mGlu3, respectively). Development of this series was initiated by reports that pyrazolo[1,5-a]quinazoline-derived scaffolds can yield compounds with activity at group II mGlu receptors which are prone to molecular switching following small structural changes. Several potent analogues, including 4-methyl-2-phenyl-8-(pyrimidin-5-yl)pyrazolo[1,5-a]quinazolin-5(4H)-one (10b), were discovered with potent in vitro activity as dual mGlu2/mGlu3 NAMs, with excellent selectivity versus the other mGluRs.
在此,我们报道了一系列取代的吡唑并[1,5-a]喹唑啉-5(4H)-酮的设计与合成,这些化合物作为代谢型谷氨酸受体2和3(分别为mGlu2和mGlu3)的负变构调节剂。该系列化合物的研发源于有报道称,吡唑并[1,5-a]喹唑啉衍生的骨架能够产生对II组代谢型谷氨酸受体有活性的化合物,这些化合物在结构发生微小变化后容易发生分子转换。我们发现了几种强效类似物,包括4-甲基-2-苯基-8-(嘧啶-5-基)吡唑并[1,5-a]喹唑啉-5(4H)-酮(10b),它们作为双mGlu2/mGlu3负变构调节剂具有强效的体外活性,对其他代谢型谷氨酸受体具有出色的选择性。
