Discovery of Tricyclic Triazolo- and Imidazopyridine Lactams as M1 Positive Allosteric Modulators
2019
This Letter describes the chemical optimization of a new series of muscarinic acetylcholine receptor subtype 1 (M1) positive allosteric modulators (PAMs) based on novel tricyclic triazolo- and imidazopyridine lactam cores, devoid of M1 agonism, e.g., no M1 ago-PAM activity, in high expressing recombinant cell lines. While all the new tricyclic congeners afforded excellent rat pharmacokinetic (PK) properties (CLp 5 h), regioisomeric triazolopyridine analogues were uniformly not CNS penetrant (Kp 2), despite inclusion of a basic nitrogen. Moreover, 24c was devoid of M1 agonism in high expressing recombinant cell lines and did not induce cholinergic seizures in vivo in mice. Interestingly, all of the new M1 PAMs across the diverse tricyclic heterocyclic cores possessed equivalent ...
