A convenient synthesis of trans‐phenyl‐[2‐(1‐piperidinylmethyl)cyclopentyl]methanone (1) is described. The method can be generalized, starting from easily available materials, to the preparation of other (aminomethyl)cycloalkyl aryl ketones needed in the investigation of properties of neuroleptic drugs.
Hit-to-lead optimization of a HTS hit led to new carbamoyloxime derivatives. After identification of an advanced hit (8d) the CYP enzyme inhibitory activity of this class of compounds was successfully eliminated. Systematic exploration of different parts of the advanced hit led us to some promising lead compounds with mGluR5 affinities comparable to that of MPEP. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
