5-HT6 receptor antagonists: lead optimisation and biological evaluation of N-aryl and N-heteroaryl 4-amino-benzene sulfonamides
摘要:
RO-04-6790 (6a) has been identified in a random screen for 5-HT6 receptor antagonists. In a medicinal chemistry optimisation program a series of analogs comprising N-heteroaryl- and N-arylbenzenesulfonamides have been synthesised and investigated for their binding affinity. Compounds with a log D profile indicative of brain penetration have been subjected to in vivo testing for reversal of a scopolamine-induced retention deficit in a passive avoidance paradigm.

The present invention relates to substituted heterocyclic derivative compounds, compositions comprising said compounds, and the use of said compounds and compositions for epigenetic regulation by inhibition of bromodomain-mediated recognition of acetyl lysine regions of proteins, such as histones. Said compositions and methods are useful for the treatment of cancer and neoplastic disease.
