Stankiewicz, Anna published the artcileNew 1,2,4-oxadiazole derivatives with positive metabotropic glutamate receptor4 modulation activity and antipsychotic-like properties, SDS of cas: 100-70-9, the main research area is aryl arylamido oxadiazole preparation metabotropic glutamate receptor modulating antipsychotic; arylsulfonamido aryl oxadiazole preparation metabotropic glutamate receptor modulating antipsychotic; 1,2,4-oxadiazoles; Metabotropic glutamate receptor 4 (mGlu4 receptor); antipsychotic properties; anxiolytics; positive allosteric modulator (PAM).
Considering the allosteric regulation of mGlu receptors for potential therapeutic applications, we developed a group of 1,2,4-oxadiazole derivatives that displayed mGlu4 receptor pos. allosteric modulatory activity (EC50 = 282-656 nM). Selectivity screening revealed that they were devoid of activity at mGlu1, mGlu2 and mGlu5 receptors, but modulated mGlu7 and mGlu8 receptors, thus were classified as group III-preferring mGlu receptor agents. None of the compounds was active towards hERG channels or in the mini-AMES test. The most potent in vitro mGlu4 PAM derivative (N-(3-chloro-4-(5-(2-chlorophenyl)-1,2,4-oxadiazol-3-yl)phenyl)picolinamide) was readily absorbed after i.p. administration (male Albino Swiss mice) and reached a maximum brain concentration of 949.76 ng/mL. Five modulators demonstrated significant anxiolytic- and antipsychotic-like properties in the SIH and DOI-induced head twitch test, resp. Promising data were obtained, especially for N-(4-(5-(2-chlorophenyl)-1,2,4-oxadiazol-3-yl)-3-methylphenyl)picolinamide (62), whose effects in the DOI-induced head twitch test were comparable to those of clozapine and better than those reported for the selective mGlu4 PAM ADX88178.
