implicated in numerous CNS disorders; however, a paucity of potent and selective activators has hampered full delineation of the functional role and therapeutic potential of this receptor. In this work, we present the identification, optimization, and characterization of highly potent, novel mGluR7 agonists. Of particular interest is the chromane CVN636, a potent (EC50 7 nM) allosteric agonist which demonstrates
低亲和力代谢型谷氨酸受体 mGluR 7与许多中枢神经系统疾病有关;然而,缺乏有效和选择性的激活剂阻碍了对该受体的功能作用和治疗潜力的全面描述。在这项工作中,我们介绍了高效、新型 mGluR 7激动剂的鉴定、优化和表征。特别令人感兴趣的是苯并二氢吡喃CVN636,这是一种有效的 (EC 50 7 nM) 变构激动剂,与其他 mGluR 相比,它对 mGluR 7表现出精湛的选择性,而且与广泛的目标相比。CVN636在体内表现出 CNS 外显率和功效酒精使用障碍的啮齿动物模型。因此, CVN636有可能成为涉及 mGluR 7和谷氨酸能功能障碍的中枢神经系统疾病的候选药物。
