A novel series of metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 negative allosteric modulators based on a 4,5,6,7-tetrahydropyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridine core
摘要:
A series of potent non-acetylinic negative allosteric modulators of the metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGlu5 NAMs) was developed starting from HTS screening hit 1. Potency was improved via iterative SAR, and physicochemical properties were optimized to deliver orally bioavailable compounds acceptable for in vivo testing. A lead molecule from the series demonstrated dose-dependent activity in the second phase of the rat formalin test from 30 mg/kg, and a preliminary PK/PD relationship was established.

Highly Regioselective Synthesis of 1-Acyl-5-hydroxypyrazolines or Synthesis of 3,5-Disubstituted Pyrazoles from (E)-β-Chlorovinyl Ketones and Benzohydrazides or Hydrazine Hydrate
摘要:
Highly regioselective synthesis of 1-acyl-5-hydroxypyrazolines or synthesis of 3,5-disubstituted pyrazoles have been achieved through the cyclocondensation of (E)/beta-chlorovinyl ketones with benzohydrazides/hydrazine hydrate under extremely mild reaction conditions. The mechanistic studies showed that diverse electrophilic pathways of (E)-beta-chlorovinyl ketones could be observed by using different nucelophilic species. Moreover, the utility of the tandem reaction is further illustrated by the concise synthesis of 1-acyl-pyrazole and 3-pentyl-5-phenyl-1H-pyrazole.
