Abstract
This work describes the discovery and characterization of novel 6-(1H-pyrazolo[4,3-b]pyridin-3-yl)amino-benzo[d]isothiazole-3-carboxamides as mGlu 4 PAMs. This scaffold provides improved metabolic clearance and CYP1A2 profiles compared to previously discovered mGlu 4 PAMs. From this work, 27o (VU6001376) was identified as a potent (EC 50 = 50.1 nM, 50.5% GluMax) and selective mGlu 4 PAM with an excellent rat DMPK profile (in vivo rat CL p = 3.1 mL/min/kg, t 1/2 = 445 min, CYP1A2 IC 50 > 30 μM). Compound 27o was also active in reversing haloperidol induced catalepsy in a rodent preclinical model of Parkinson's disease.
