Positive allosteric modulators for mGluR2 receptors: a medicinal chemistry perspective.
نویسندگان
چکیده
This review summarizes drug discovery efforts on mGluR2 positive allosteric modulators (PAMs) from 2000 to 2013. Medicinal chemistry programs and the identified 21 chemotypes are analyzed and compared in terms of their biological activity and ligand efficiency. Comparative analysis of ligand efficiency metrics including ligand efficiency and lipophilic ligand efficiency allowed us to identify the most promising chemotypes. The perspective of their clinical development was evaluated in the light of recent human data.

A novel family of potent negative allosteric modulators of group II metabotropic glutamate receptors.
Group II metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs), mGluR2 and mGluR3, play a number of important roles in mammalian brain and represent exciting new targets for certain central nervous system disorders. We now report synthesis and characterization of a novel family of derivatives of dihydrobenzo[1,4]diazepin-2-one that are selective negative allosteric modulators for group II mGluRs. These com...
متن کاملAn industrial perspective on positive allosteric modulation as a means to discover safe and selective drugs.
Positive allosteric modulation is an innovative strategy for the discovery of drugs acting at 7-transmembrane receptors. Screening has led to the identification of numerous starting points for medicinal chemistry typified by novel mechanisms of action. The progression of compounds through hit-to-candidate phases and preclinical animal models, however, proves very challenging. In this review, we...
متن کاملFunctional and pharmacological characteristics of metabotropic glutamate receptors 2/4 heterodimers.
Metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) were thought until recently to function mainly as stable homodimers, but recent work suggests that heteromerization is possible. Despite the growth in available compounds targeting mGluRs, little is known about the pharmacological profile of mGluR heterodimers. Here, this question was addressed for the mGluR2/4 heterodimer, examined by coexpressing both...
متن کاملActivation of the γ-Aminobutyric Acid Type B (GABA(B)) Receptor by Agonists and Positive Allosteric Modulators.
Since the discovery of the GABA(B) agonist and muscle relaxant baclofen, there have been substantial advancements in the development of compounds that activate the GABA(B) receptor as agonists or positive allosteric modulators. For the agonists, most of the existing structure-activity data apply to understanding the role of substituents on the backbone of GABA as well as replacing the carboxyli...
متن کامل1,3-diphenylpropan-1-ones as allosteric modulators of α7 nACh receptors with analgesic and antioxidant properties.
UNLABELLED Nicotine acethylcholine receptors (nAChRs) play critical roles in cognitive processes, neuroprotection and inflammation. RESULTS According to their substituents, 1,3-diphenylpropan-1-one derivatives act as α7 nAChRs negative allosteric modulators (NAM, OMe) or Type I positive allosteric modulators (PAMs, OH). Compounds 7 and 31 were the most effective (989 and 666% enhancement of A...
