Neurotensin receptor 1 (NTR1) is a G protein coupled receptor that is widely expressed throughout the central nervous system where it acts as a neuromodulator. Neurotensin receptors have been implicated in a wide variety of CNS disorders, but despite extensive efforts to develop small molecule ligands there are few reports of such compounds. Herein we describe the optimization of a quinazoline based lead to give (SBI-553), a potent and brain penetrant NTR1 allosteric modulator.
神经降压素受体 1(NTR1)是一种 G 蛋白偶联受体,广泛表达于中枢神经系统,作为一种神经调质发挥作用。神经降压素受体与多种中枢神经系统疾病有关,但尽管人们努力开发小分子配体,但此类化合物的报道很少。本文描述了基于喹唑啉的先导化合物的优化,得到了一种强效且可穿透血脑屏障的 NTR1 变构调节剂(SBI-553)。
