Abstract:
A novel series of adenosine A(2A) receptor antagonists was identified by high-throughput screening of an encoded combinatorial compound collection. The initial hits were optimized for A(2A) binding affinity, A(1) selectivity, and in vitro microsomal stability generating orally available 2-aminoimidazo[4,5-b]pyridine-based A(2A) antagonist leads.
