This invention relates to benzimidazoles, pyridylimidazoles and related bicyclic heteroaryl compounds, all of which may be described by of Formula I
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.
本发明涉及苯并咪唑、吡啶咪唑和相关的双环杂芳烃化合物,所有这些化合物都可以用公式I描述。本发明特别涉及与GABAA受体的苯二氮卓位点具有高选择性和高亲和力的这种化合物。本发明还涉及包含这种化合物的制药组合物以及在治疗某些中枢神经系统(CNS)疾病中使用这种化合物的用途。还公开了制备公式I化合物的新方法。本发明还涉及将公式I的苯并咪唑、吡啶咪唑和相关的双环杂芳烃化合物与一个或多个其他CNS药剂联合使用以增强其他CNS药剂的效果。此外,本发明还涉及将这些化合物用作定位组织切片中的GABAA受体的探针。
