Discovery of molecular switches within the ADX-47273 mGlu5 PAM scaffold that modulate modes of pharmacology to afford potent mGlu5 NAMs, PAMs and partial antagonists

This Letter describes a chemical lead optimization campaign directed at a weak mGlu5 NAM discovered while developing SAR for the mGlu5 PAM, ADX-47273. An iterative parallel synthesis effort discovered multiple, subtle molecular switches that afford potent mGlu5 NAMs, mGlu5 PAMs as well as mGlu5 partial antagonists.
