Preliminary investigation of 6,7-dihydropyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrazin-4-one derivatives as a novel series of mGlu5 receptor positive allosteric modulators with efficacy in preclinical models of schizophrenia.

ABSTRACT: As part of our efforts to identify a suitable back-up compound to our recently disclosed mGlu5 positive allosteric modulator (PAM) clinical candidate VU0490551/JNJ-46778212, this letter details the investigation and challenges of a novel series of 6,7-dihydropyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrazin-4-one derivatives. From these efforts, compound 4k emerged as a potent and selective mGlu5 PAM displaying overall attractive in vitro (pharmacological and ADMET) and PK profiles combined with in vivo efficacy in preclinical models of schizophrenia. However, further advancement of the compound was precluded due to severely limiting CNS-related side-effects confirming the previously reported association between excessive mGlu5 activation and target-related toxicities.

Project description:Thiazole carboxamide derivatives were synthesized in this investigation, with a subsequent examination of their impact on GluA2 AMPA receptors. The synthesized compounds, namely MMH-1-5, were subjected to characterization using high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS), proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR), and carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance (13C-NMR). The present work thoroughly investigates the impact of five thiazole derivatives on GluA2 AMPA receptors. This investigation examined their effects on both whole-cell currents and receptor kinetics. In addition, the cytotoxicity of the samples was assessed using the MTS test. The compound MMH-5 had the highest effect level, resulting in a notable drop in current amplitude by a factor of six. Similarly, MMH-4 and MMH-3 also caused major reductions in the current amplitude. The compounds mentioned above also influenced the rates of deactivation and desensitization. MMH-5 and MMH-4 exhibited an increase in deactivation, while MMH-5 showed reduced desensitization. Our research findings highlight the efficacy of MMH-5 as a negative allosteric modulator of GluA2 AMPA receptors, exerting substantial effects on both the magnitude and time course of receptor activity. Significantly, the compound MMH-2 demonstrated noteworthy cytotoxic effects, as evidenced by cell viability rates dropping below 6.79% for all cancer cell lines and 17.52% for the normal cell line (LX-2). Of particular interest is the pronounced cytotoxicity observed in MMH-5, suggesting its potential as a safe neuroprotective agent targeting the AMPA receptor, as indicated by cell viability percentages exceeding 85.44% across all cancer and normal cell lines. Docking simulations were performed to determine possible modes of interaction between MMH5 and the GluA2-AMPA receptor (PDB:7RZ5). The abovementioned facts and the well-documented effects of further thiazole derivatives provide a strong foundation for future research endeavors to enhance tailored treatments for neurological disorders that rely heavily on GluA2 signaling. The present study elucidates the intricate association between thiazole derivatives and GluA2 receptors, providing valuable perspectives on the prospects of enhanced and specific therapeutic interventions for diverse neurological conditions.
