Abstract:
We report the synthesis of four series of 3,5-disubstituted-phenyl ligands targeting the metabotropic glutamate receptor subtype 5: (2-methylthiazol-4-yl)ethynyl (1a-j,), (6-methylpyridin-2-yl)ethynyl (2a-j), (5-methylpyridin-2-yl)ethynyl (3a-j,), and (pyridin-2-yl)ethynyl (4a-j,). The compounds were evaluated for antagonism of glutamate-mediated mobilization of internal calcium in an mGluR5 in vitro assay. All compounds were found to be full antagonists and exhibited low nanomolar to subnanomolar activity.

Aromatic ring substitutions: Substituting the aromatic ring with –OH groups at positions 3 and 4 yields catecholamines (e.g., epinephrine), which have a high affinity for adrenoceptors. Hydrogen bonding between –OH groups and receptors enhances adrenergic activity.
