The present invention relates to novel spiro-oxadiazoline compounds that are suitable as agonists or partial agonists of a7-nAChR, and pharmaceutical compositions of the same, methods of preparing these compounds and compositions, and the use of these compounds and compositions in methods of maintaining, treating and/or improving cognitive function. In particular, methods of administering a spiro-oxadiazoline cx7-nAChR agonist or partial agonist, to a patient in need thereof, for example a patient with a cognitive deficiency and/or a desire to enhance cognitive function, that may derive a benefit therefrom.
Design of α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor ligands in quinuclidine, tropane and quinazoline series. Chemistry, molecular modeling, radiochemistry, in vitro and in rats evaluations of a [18F] quinuclidine derivative
In this report, we describe the synthesis of a novel library of alpha 7 nAChR ligands based on the modulation of the quinuclidine, quinazoline and tropane moieties. Spirane derivatives were newly synthesized under stereo specific 1,3 dipolar cylcoadditions. Only amide derivatives bonded efficiently to the receptor with Ki measured between 14 and 133 nM. The best fluorinated candidate was selected and radiolabeled. The potent [F-18]4 PET tracer was evaluated in rats and its brain accumulation quantified. (C) 2014 Elsevier Masson SAS.
