Development of SAR in an aryl ether series of mGlu5 NAMs leading to the identification of pyrazine analog VU0431316 is described in this Letter. VU0431316 is a potent and selective non-competitive antagonist of mGlu5 that binds at a known allosteric binding site. VU0431316 demonstrates an attractive DMPK profile, including moderate clearance and good bioavailability in rats. Intraperitoneal (IP) dosing of VU0431316 in a mouse marble burying model of anxiety, an assay known to be sensitive to mGlu5 antagonists and other anxiolytics, produced dose proportional effects.
本信函描述了在一组芳基醚类代谢型谷氨酸受体5(mGlu5)负变构调节剂(NAM)中发现的构效关系,进而确定了吡嗪类似物VU0431316。VU0431316是一种强效且具有选择性的mGlu5非竞争性拮抗剂,可结合于已知的变构结合位点。VU0431316展现出良好的药物代谢动力学性质,包括在大鼠体内清除率适中且生物利用度良好。在小鼠大理石掩埋焦虑模型中腹腔注射VU0431316,该模型对mGlu5拮抗剂和其他抗焦虑药物敏感,结果显示其具有剂量依赖性效应。
