Improved Syntheses of the mGlu5 Antagonists MMPEP and MTEP Using Sonogashira Cross-Coupling
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Sonogashira cross-coupling, a key step in the syntheses of the mGlu₅ antagonists MMPEP and MTEP, provided an improved three-step method for the preparation of MMPEP in 62% overall yield. Using Spartan molecular modeling kit an explanation for the failure to employ analogues method in the synthesis of MTEP was sought. The DFT calculations indicated that meaningful isolated yields were obtained when the HOMO energy of the aryl halide was lower than the HOMO energy of the respective alkyne.

The binding of [3H]methoxymethyl-3-[(2-methyl-1,3-thiazol-4-yl)ethynyl]pyridine (methoxymethyl-MTEP), a potent and selective antagonist for metabotropic glutamate (mGlu)5 receptors, was characterized in rat brain both in vitro and in vivo. Nonspecific binding, as defined with 10 microM 2-methyl-6-(phenylethynyl)-pyridine (MPEP), was less than 10% of total binding in rat brain membranes. The bin...

In animal models, N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors antagonists inhibit physical dependence and the reinforcing effects of ethanol. The group I metabotropic glutamate (mGlu) receptors antagonists (mGlu1 and mGlu5) attenuate excitatory effect of glutamate by functional modulation of the glutamate/NMDA receptors. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the effects of a selective mG...

Several lines of evidence suggest a crucial involvement of glutamate in the mechanism of drug addiction. The involvement of group I mGlu receptors in the mechanism of addiction has also been proposed. Given the recent discovery of selective and brain penetrable mGlu5 receptor antagonists, the effects of 3-[(2-methyl-1,3-thiazol-4-yl)ethynyl]-pyridine (MTEP) were evaluated in the naloxone-precip...
