The synthesis and preclinical characterization of two novel, brain penetrating P2X(7) compounds will be described. Both compounds are shown to be high potency P2X(7) antagonists in human, rat, and mouse cell lines and both were shown to have high brain concentrations and robust receptor occupancy in rat. Compound 7 is of particular interest as a probe compound for the preclinical assessment of P2X(7) blockade in animal models of neuro-inflammation.
