title = "Synthesis and SAR of novel, 4-(phenylsulfamoyl)phenylacetamide mGlu 4 positive allosteric modulators (PAMs) identified by functional high-throughput screening (HTS)",
abstract = "Herein we disclose the synthesis and SAR of a series of 4-(phenylsulfamoyl)phenylacetamide compounds as mGlu4 positive allosteric modulators (PAMs) that were identified via a functional HTS. An iterative parallel approach to these compounds culminated in the discovery of VU0364439 (11) which represents the most potent (19.8 nM) mGlu4 PAM reported to date.",
