Design, Synthesis, and Activity of a Series of Arylpyrid-3-ylmethanones as Type I Positive Allosteric Modulators of α7 Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors
摘要:
A series of novel arylpyrid-3-ylmethanones (7a-aa) were designed as modulators of alpha 7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs). The methanones were found to be type I positive allosteric modulators (PAMs) of human alpha 7 nAChRs expressed in Xenopus ooctyes. Structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies resulted in the identification of compound 7v as a potent and efficacious type I PAM with maximum modulation of a nicotine EC5 response of 1200% and EC50 = 0.18 mu M. Compound 7z was active in reversing the effect of scopolamine in the novel object recognition (NOR) paradigm with a minimum effective ip dose of 1.0 mg/kg (2.7 mu mol/kg). This effect was blocked by the selective alpha 7 nAChR antagonist methyllycaconitine (MLA). These compounds are nAChRs that may have therapeutic value in restoring impaired sensory Alzheimer's disease. potent type I positive allosteric modulators of alpha 7 gating and cognitive deficits in schizophrenia and Alzheimer's disease.

The flow metalation of various arenes and heteroarenes involving an in situ trapping with metal salts (ZnCl2⋅2 LiCl, MgCl2, CuCN⋅2 LiCl, LaCl3⋅2 LiCl) under very convenient conditions (0 °C, 40 s) is reported. The resulting Mg, Zn, Cu, or La organic species are trapped with various electrophiles in high yields. In several cases, unusual kinetically controlled regioselectivities are obtained. All these
