Title: Synthesis and SAR of substituted pyrazolo[1,5-a]quinazolines as dual mGlu(2)/mGlu(3) NAMs.

Abstract: Herein we report the design and synthesis of a series of substituted pyrazolo[1,5-a]quinazolin-5(4H)-ones as negative allosteric modulators of metabotropic glutamate receptors 2 and 3 (mGlu2 and mGlu3, respectively). Development of this series was initiated by reports that pyrazolo[1,5-a]quinazoline-derived scaffolds can yield compounds with activity at group II mGlu receptors which are prone to molecular switching following small structural changes. Several potent analogues, including 4-methyl-2-phenyl-8-(pyrimidin-5-yl)pyrazolo[1,5-a]quinazolin-5(4H)-one (10b), were discovered with potent in vitro activity as dual mGlu2/mGlu3 NAMs, with excellent selectivity versus the other mGluRs.
