Abstract

A series of oxadiazolone bioisosteres of pregabalin 1 and gabapentin 2 were prepared, and several were found to exhibit similar potency for the α2-δ subunit of voltage-gated calcium channels. Oxadiazolone 9 derived from 2 achieved low brain uptake but was nevertheless active in models of osteoarthritis. The high clearance associated with compound 9 was postulated to be a consequence of efflux by OAT and/or OCT, and was attenuated on co-administration with cimetidine or probenecid.
