, which have valuable pharmacological properties, in particular bind to the GPR40 receptor and modulate its activity. The compounds are suitable for treatment and prevention of diseases which can be influenced by this receptor, such as metabolic diseases, in particular diabetes type 2.
4-Azaindole derivatives which are modulators of muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (mAChR) M1 and which may be effective for the prevention or disease modifying or symptomatic treatment of cognitive deficits associated with neurological disorders such as Alzheimer-type dementia (AD) or dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), and a pharmaceutical composition comprising a 4-azaindole derivative as an active ingredient.
The present application provides compounds, including all stereoisomers, solvates, prodrugs and pharmaceutically acceptable forms thereof according to Formula I. Additionally, the present application provides pharmaceutical compositions containing at least one compound according to Formula I and optionally at least one additional therapeutic agent. Finally, the present application provides methods for treating a patient suffering from an MCHR-1 modulated disease or disorder such as, for example, obesity, diabetes, depression or anxiety by administration of a therapeutically effective dose of a compound according to Formula I.
A variety of 2-substituted 5-alkynyl-1H-imidazoles were easily prepared by a one-pot sequential procedure involving a highlyregioselective electrophilic C-5 bromination of 1,2-dimethyl-1H-imidazole, 2-chloro-1-methyl-1H-imidazole, and 2-aryl-1-methyl-1H-imidazoles, followed by an efficient palladium/copper co-catalyzed Sonogashira-type alkynylation.
The present invention provides a compound of Formula (I) (represented as tautomers Ia and Ib) or the pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, which are KDM5 inhibitors.
