Challenges in the development of an M4 PAM preclinical candidate: The discovery, SAR, and in vivo characterization of a series of 3-aminoazetidine-derived amides
2017
Abstract This letter details the continued chemical optimization of a novel series of M 4 positive
allosteric modulators(PAMs) based on a 5-amino-thieno[2,3- c ]
pyridazinecore by incorporating a 3-amino
azetidineamide moiety. The analogs described within this work represent the most potent M 4 PAMs reported for this series to date. The SAR to address potency, clearance, subtype selectivity, CNS exposure, and P-gp efflux are described. This work culminated in the discovery of VU6000918, which demonstrated robust efficacy in a rat amphetamine-induced hyperlocomotion reversal model at a minimum efficacious dose of 0.3 mg/kg.
