Herein, we detail the optimization of the mGlu(2) negative allosteric modulator (NAM), VU6001192, by a reductionist approach to afford a novel, simplified mGlu(2) NAM scaffold. This new chemotype not only affords potent and selective mGlu(2) inhibition, as exemplified by VU6001966 (mGlu(2) IC50 = 78 nM, mGlu(3) IC50 > 30 mu M), but also excellent central nervous system (CNS) penetration (K-p = 1.9, K-p,K-uu = 0.78), a feature devoid in all previously disclosed mGlu(2) NAMs (K(p)s approximate to 0.3, K(p,uu)s approximate to 0.1). Moreover, this series, based on overall properties, represents an exciting lead series for potential mGlu(2) PET tracer development.
