New positive allosteric modulators of the metabotropic glutamate receptor 2 (mGluR2): Identification and synthesis of N-propyl-8-chloro-6-substituted isoquinolones
Graphical abstract
A series of N-propyl-8-chloro-6-substituted isoquinolones was identified as positive allosteric modulators of metabotropic glutamate receptor 2 (mGluR2 PAM) via high throughput screening (HTS). The subsequent synthesis and initial SAR exploration that led to the identification of compound 28 is described.

Selectivity and evolutionary divergence of metabotropic glutamate receptors for endogenous ligands and G proteins coupled to phospholipase C or TRP channels
2014, Journal of Biological ChemistryCitation Excerpt :The −log10(EC50) from mGluR2 transfected HEK/TRPC4β cells is 4.63 ± 0.12. The potency observed in these experiments is within the previously reported −log10(EC50) range of 4.69–5.39 for mGluR2 (26), although less potent than reported for responses based on G protein-regulated inwardly rectifying potassium channels (GIRK) and a thallium flux assay, where the −log10(EC50) was found to be 5.1 (27). Similar results were observed for HEK/TRPC4β cells transfected with mGluR4 or mGluR6 (Fig. 5, C and E).

2012, Annual Reports in Medicinal ChemistryCitation Excerpt :The triazolo[4,3:a]pyridine series (chemotype C) was exemplified in several patent applications with compounds demonstrated efficacy in different models of psychosis,39,40 illustrated by compounds 26 and 27 (EC50 = 1.6 and 16.2 nM, respectively). Phenyl-piperidine 27 exhibited efficacy in PCP-induced hyperlocomotion in mice (ED50 = 5.4 mg/kg) and conditioned avoidance response in rats (ED50 = 16.3 mg/kg, p.o.).41 The oxazolidinone derivative 28 (EC50 = 450 nM) was identified in an HTS calcium mobilization assay on hmGluR2 cell lines.
