This invention relates to benzimidazoles, pyridylimidazoles and related bicyclic heteroaryl compounds, all of which may be described by of Formula I
1
The invention is particularly related to such compounds that bind with high selectivity and high affinity to the benzodiazepine site of GABA
A
receptors. This invention also relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising such compounds and to the use of such compounds in treatment of certain central nervous system (CNS) diseases. Novel processes for preparing compounds of Formula I are disclosed.
This invention also relates to the use of benzimidazoles, pyridylimidazoles and related bicyclic heteroaryl compounds of Formula I in combination with one or more other CNS agents to potentiate the effects of the other CNS agents. Additionally this invention relates to the use such compounds as probes for the localization of GABA
A
receptors in tissue sections.
这项发明涉及苯并咪唑、吡啶咪唑和相关的双环杂环芳烃化合物,所有这些化合物都可以用公式I描述。该发明特别涉及与GABA受体的苯二氮卓位点具有高选择性和高亲和力结合的化合物。该发明还涉及包含这些化合物的药物组合物,以及将这些化合物用于治疗某些中枢神经系统(CNS)疾病。公式I化合物的新制备方法也已披露。此外,该发明还涉及将苯并咪唑、吡啶咪唑和相关的双环杂环芳烃化合物与一个或多个其他CNS药剂结合以增强其他CNS药剂效果的用途。此外,该发明还涉及将这些化合物用作GABA受体在组织切片中的定位探针的用途。
