Abstract

A novel series of trans-1,3-cyclohexyl diamides was discovered and characterized as mGluR5 negative allosteric modulators (NAMs) lacking an alkyne moiety. Conformational constraint of one of the amide bonds in the diamide template led to a spirooxazoline template. A representative compound (24d) showed good in vitro potency, high CNS penetration and, upon subcutaneous dosing, demonstrated efficacy in the mouse marble burying test, generally used as indicative of potential anxiolytic activity.
