Compounds with α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α7 nAChR) agonistic activity, processes for their preparation, pharmaceutical compositions containing the same and the use thereof for the treatment of neurological and psychiatric diseases.
α7nicotinicacetylcholinereceptoragonists are promising therapeutic candidates for the treatment of cognitive impairment. As a follow up of our internal medicinal chemistry program we investigated a novel series of α7 nAChR agonists. Starting from molecular docking studies on two series of molecules recently developed in our laboratories, an alternative scaffold was designed attempting to combine
