Other objects, features and advantages of the compounds, methods and compositions described herein will become apparent from the following detailed description.

Glutamate is the major excitatory neurotransmitter in the mammalian central nervous system (CNS), mediating fast synaptic transmission through ion channels, primarily the α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA) and kainate ionotropic glutamate receptor subtypes. The metabotropic glutamate (mGlu) receptors arc a family of eight G protein-coupled receptors that are activated by glutamate and perform a modulatory function in the nervous system. The Group II mGlu receptors include the mGlu2 and mGlu3 receptor subtypes, which couple with Gi/o proteins to negatively regulate the activity of adenylyl cyclase. Localization studies suggest that mGlu2 receptors act predominantly as presynaptic autoreceptors to modulate the release of glutamate into the synaptic cleft (Cartmell, J.; Schoepp, D. D. Regulation of neurotransmitter release by metabotropic glutamate receptors. J. Neurochem. 2000, 75, 889-907). On the other hand, mGlu3 receptors exhibit a broad distribution in the brain and have been shown to be present on astrocytes (Durand, D. et al. Neuropharmacology 2013, 66, 1-11). In addition, it has been shown that activation of mGlu3 receptors is required for the neuroprotective effects of mGlu2/3 agonists toward N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) neurotoxicity in mixed cultures of astrocytes and neurons, whereas activation of mGlu2 receptors may be harmful (Corti, C. et al. J. Neurosci. 2007, 27, 8297-8308).
Various brain regions, including the cerebral cortex, hippocampus, striatum, amygdala, frontal cortex and nucleus accumbens, display high levels of mGlu2 and mGlu3 receptor binding. This distribution pattern suggests a role for the mGlu2/3 receptor subtypes in the pathology of neuropsychiatric disorders such as anxiety, schizophrenia, drug dependence, neuroprotection, Alzheimer's disease, and sleep/wake architecture. Thus there is significant potential for the development of selective Group II mGlu receptor activators, including agonists and positive allosteric modulators (PAMs), for the treatment of CNS diseases caused by aberrant glutamatergic signaling.
Allosteric modulators are substances which indirectly influence (modulates) the effects of an agonist or inverse agonist at a receptor. Allosteric modulators bind to a site distinct from that of the orthosteric agonist binding site. Usually they induce a conformational change within the protein structure. A positive allosteric modulator (PAM), which is also called an allosteric enhancer, induces an amplification of the agonist's effect. PAMs, through their interaction at allosteric sites on the mGlu receptor, positively modulate (i.e. potentiate) the effects of the endogenous orthosteric mGlu agonist glutamate. The advantages of PAMs compared with orthosteric agonists includes enhanced subtype-selectivity, the potential for spatial and temporal modulation of receptor activation, and ease of optimization and fine-tuning of drug-like properties. Studies showed that selectively activating mGlu2 receptors on cocaine or nicotine dependence, unlike mGlu2/3 orthosteric agonists, decreased cocaine self-administration in rats at doses that did not affect responding for food. Data suggests that mGlu2 receptor PAMs have the potential for therapeutic utility in the treatment of drug dependence.
There have been many accounts in the literature describing selective mGlu2 receptor PAMs, whereas very little has been reported on compounds which potentiate the effects of glutamate at mGlu3 receptors. This is somewhat surprising given the significant sequence homology (approximately 75%) within the transmembrane regions of mGlu2 and mGlu3 receptors. Considering the dearth of information on mixed mGlu2/3 receptor PAMs, the development of such compounds would provide valuable pharmacological tools. For example, a CNS penetrant mGlu2/3 receptor PAM could facilitate investigations into whether effects on food responding in rats are due to general activation of mGlu3 receptors or an effect specific to direct activation of the mGlu receptor by agonists that act at the mGlu orthosteric binding site.
In some embodiments, the compounds described herein are mGlu2/3 receptor PAMs.

Anxiety is an unpleasant state of inner turmoil, often accompanied by nervous behavior, such as pacing back and forth, somatic complaints and rumination. It is the subjectively unpleasant feelings of dread over anticipated events, such as the feeling of imminent death. Anxiety is a feeling of fear, worry, and uneasiness, usually generalized and unfocused as an overreaction to a situation that is only subjectively seen as menacing. It is often accompanied by muscular tension, restlessness, fatigue and problems in concentration. Anxiety can be appropriate, but when experienced regularly the individual may suffer from an anxiety disorder.
In some embodiments, the compounds described herein are mGlu2/3 receptor PAM used for treating anxiety symptoms. The method includes administering to a subject in need thereof, an effective amount of at least one mGlu2/3 receptor PAM, thereby treating the anxiety symptoms.
Nicotine dependence is an addiction to tobacco products caused by the drug nicotine. Nicotine dependence means a person can't stop using the substance, even though it's causing harm. Nicotine produces physical and mood-altering effects in the human brain that are temporarily pleasing. These effects increase the desire to use tobacco and lead to dependence. At the same time, stopping tobacco use causes withdrawal symptoms, including irritability and anxiety.
In certain aspects, the effective amount of at least one positive allosteric modulator is administered to decrease nicotine consumption. For example, in one aspect an effective amount of a positive allosteric modulator of mGlu2 and/or mGlu3, can be administered to decrease nicotine consumption. In certain aspects of the disclosure, a positive allosteric modulator of mGlu2 and/or mGlu3 is administered while a subject is experiencing withdrawal. In another aspect of the disclosure, a positive allosteric modulator of mGlu2 and/or mGlu3 is administered during a time period when a subject is actively using an addictive substance.
Cocaine addiction remains a major public health problem in the United States. There are several sources of motivation that contribute to the continuance of cocaine abuse, including: the positive reinforcing effects of cocaine; and the alleviation of the negative affective aspects of cocaine withdrawal. Conditioned stimuli previously associated with cocaine administration may also elicit conditioned “cravings” leading to the reinstatement of cocaine-seeking behavior even after a prolonged period of abstinence. Recent studies indicate that the neuronal mechanisms underlying various aspects of drug abuse may differ necessitating the use of different treatments for specific aspects of drug dependence. To date, a safe and effective pharmacological treatment for cocaine dependence has yet to be identified. Thus, there remains a need for the design of new chemical entities that can be used as novel medications for cocaine addiction.
It has been found that repeated cocaine exposure may alter the function of Group II metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGlu2 and mGlu3 receptors), pointing to a possible role of these mGlu subtypes in the development of cocaine dependence. The mGlu2/3 receptor positive modulators may decrease the reinforcing effects of self-administered cocaine in rats that had extended access to cocaine, a putative model of cocaine dependence while having no effect in rats with limited access to cocaine. Positive mGlu2/3 receptor modulators may attenuate discriminatory cue-induced reinstatement of cocaine self-administration. In contrast, mGlu2/3 receptor negative modulators may reverse the reward deficits associated with early cocaine abstinence.
Cocaine addiction is a chronic relapsing disorder and remains a major public health problem in the United States. The number of cases of cocaine abuse has steadily risen in the past decade. To date, a safe and effective pharmacological treatment for cocaine dependence has yet to be identified, which highlights the need to design new chemical entities that may become future novel medications for cocaine addiction. Recent evidence suggests that mGlus play a significant role in the abuse-related effects of cocaine. For example, repeated administration of cocaine has been shown to alter the function of mGlus, as well as their regulation by cysteine/glutamate exchange in the nucleus accumbens. These findings suggest that mGlu2/3 may be involved in the development of cocaine dependence and may represent a possible target for drug discovery against different aspects of cocaine abuse and dependence. There are several sources of motivation that contribute to the maintenance of cocaine abuse. These include the positive reinforcing effects of cocaine and alleviation of the negative affective aspects of cocaine withdrawal. Further, conditioned stimuli previously associated with cocaine administration may elicit conditioned “cravings” leading to the reinstatement of cocaine-seeking behavior even after a prolonged period of abstinence. Recent studies suggest that the neuronal mechanisms underlying drug self-administration are different from those mediating relapse vulnerability during abstinence, and different from those mediating the negative effects of early drug withdrawal. Therefore, it is important to explore concurrently the neurochemical mechanisms that contribute to the different aspects of cocaine dependence using animal models assessing the positive reinforcing effects of cocaine, the negative affective symptoms of early withdrawal, and cue-induced reinstatement of cocaine-seeking behavior after prolonged abstinence from drug intake. The discovery and preclinical testing of highly selective mGlu2/3 receptor modulators with good brain penetration may significantly contribute to the discovery of novel therapeutic treatments for different aspects cocaine dependence.
The intravenous drug self-administration procedure provides a reliable and robust model of human drug consumption. This procedure in animals provides a valid model of human drug abuse as studied in a controlled laboratory situation. Self-administration of drugs of abuse is thought to provide an operational measure of the rewarding effects of the drug. Increases in excitatory glutamatergic transmission are likely to contribute to the positive reinforcing properties of addictive drugs. Neurochemical studies indicate that systemic cocaine administration increase glutamate levels in the ventral tegmental area (VTA) and the nucleus accumbens, brain structures that are integral components of the extended amygdala, a brain circuit mediating the reward effects of all major drugs of abuse. The administration of a positive modulator of mGlu2/3 receptors may decrease cocaine self-administration in rats with extended access to cocaine by decreasing glutamate neurotransmission in limbic structures similar to the effects of mGlu2/3 agonists. In contrast, a negative modulator of mGlu2/3 receptors will most likely have no effect on cocaine self-administration, or possibly will shift the dose-response curve to the left, potentiating the reinforcing effects of cocaine.
Another challenge for the treatment of drug addiction is chronic vulnerability to relapse. One of the factors that precipitates drug craving and relapse to drug taking behavior in humans is environmental stimuli previously associated with drug-taking. These drug-associated stimuli can be divided into two categories: discrete drug cues (e.g., drug paraphernalia) that are associated with the rewarding effects of the drug, and discriminatory and contextual drug cues (e.g., specific environmental stimuli or specific environments) that predict drug availability. In animals, discrete, discriminative and contextual conditioned cues can reinstate drug-seeking behavior, measured by variables derived from the reinstatement procedure. Recent data showed that reinstatement of cocaine-seeking was attenuated by systemic injections of N-acetylcysteine that leads to a tonic increase in nucleus accumbens glutamate levels in rats. Preliminary results in humans suggest that N-acetylcysteine attenuated cocaine craving in addicted humans. Further, exposure to environmental cues previously paired with cocaine injections increased glutamate in the nucleus accumbens. A potential use for mGlu2/3 agonists as pharmacotherapeutic agents to inhibit relapse was recently shown using different rodent models of reinstatement. In some embodiments, mGlu2/3 agonists attenuate cocaine-seeking behavior induced by discriminative cocaine-associated cues or by cocaine priming. In addition, mGlu2/3 agonists have been shown to inhibit cue-induced reinstatement of heroin-seeking, alcohol-seeking, nicotine-seeking, and also inhibited food-seeking behavior. The decreases in cue-induced food responding suggest that the administration of mGlu2/3 agonist decreased motivation for a natural reinforcer also. Further, it has been hypothesized that susceptibility to relapse due to cue reactivity increases gradually over periods of weeks or months. Thus, the administration of a positive modulator of mGlu2/3 receptors during prolonged abstinence from cocaine self-administration will decrease, while a negative modulator of mGlu2/3 receptors will have no effect on cocaine-seeking behavior induced by discriminative stimuli associated with cocaine availability.
Avoidance and alleviation of the negative affective state of early drug withdrawal with further drug abuse is hypothesized to be an important source of motivation that contributes significantly to the development of compulsive drug use and relapse during early abstinence. It has been hypothesized that susceptibility to relapse due to affective withdrawal symptoms peaks within days of cessation reflecting early rise in withdrawal symptoms. Thus, pharmacological treatments that reverse aspects of cocaine early withdrawal would remove an important source of motivation that contributes to relapse to drug abuse shortly after the initial cessation of drug administration. Abrupt abstinence following chronic exposure to drugs of abuse, including cocaine results in a negative affective state reflected in significant elevations in intracranial self-stimulation (ICSS) thresholds. ICSS thresholds are thought to provide an operational measure of brain reward function; thus elevations in ICSS thresholds reflect deficits in brain reward function. This threshold elevation is opposite to the lowering of ICSS thresholds observed after cocaine administration that reflects an increase in brain reward function that most likely underlies, or at least relates to, cocaine's euphorigenic effects. This increase in brain reward function associated with cocaine consumption is considered essential for the establishment and maintenance of cocaine self-administration behavior. The mechanisms that contribute to withdrawal-induced reward deficits or reward facilitation remain unclear. Group II mGlus have been implicated in the synaptic adaptations that occur in response to chronic drug exposure and contribute to the aversive behavioral withdrawal syndrome. The role of glutamate transmission in the early phase of cocaine withdrawal has not been studied extensively. However, based on the nicotine dependence findings and the hypothesis of overlapping mechanisms of withdrawal from different drugs of abuse, one may hypothesize that decreased glutamatergic neurotransmission will also partly mediate cocaine withdrawal in cocaine-dependent subjects.
In some embodiments, the compounds described herein are mGlu2/3 receptor PAM used for treating cocaine addiction.
Schizophrenia is a devastating psychiatric illness that afflicts approximately 1% of the worldwide population. The core symptoms observed in schizophrenic patients include positive symptoms (thought disorder, delusions, hallucinations, and paranoia), negative symptoms (social withdrawal, anhedonia, apathy, and paucity of speech) and cognitive impairments such as deficits in perception, attention, learning, short- and long-term memory and executive function. The cognitive deficits in schizophrenia are one of the major disabilities associated with the illness and are considered a reliable predictor of long-term disability and treatment outcome. Currently available antipsychotics effectively treat the positive symptoms, but provide modest effects on the negative symptoms and cognitive impairments. Furthermore, some patients are unresponsive to current antipsychotic treatments and several of these agents are associated with adverse side effects, including disturbances in motor function, weight gain, and sexual dysfunction. Thus, there is a need for new treatment strategies for schizophrenia that provide major improvements in efficacy across multiple symptom clusters and have fewer adverse effects.
Although the underlying pathophysiology of schizophrenia remains unknown, accumulating evidence points to disruptions in multiple neurotransmitter systems that modulate neural circuits important for normal affect, sensory processing, and cognition. In particular, early clinical findings demonstrated that changes in glutamatergic transmission produced by antagonists of the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) subtype of ionotropic glutamate receptors, including phencyclidine (PCP), result in a state of psychosis in humans that is similar to that observed in schizophrenic patients. These studies suggest that agents that increase NMDA receptor function have potential as therapeutics for the treatment of all major symptom clusters (positive, negative, cognitive) of the disease. More recently, studies indicate that reduced NMDA receptor function induces complex changes in transmission through cortical and subcortical circuits that involve both glutamatergic and GABAergic synapses and include downstream increases in transmission at glutamatergic synapses in the prefrontal cortex. Importantly, these circuit changes might share common features with changes in brain circuit activities that occur in schizophrenia patients. One hypothesis is that NMDA receptors involved in these symptoms might reside at glutamatergic synapses on GABAergic projection neurons in midbrain regions as well as GABAergic interneurons and glutamatergic projection neurons in key cortical and limbic regions For example, under normal conditions the activation of NMDA receptors localized on GABAergic projection neurons in subcortical regions, such as the nucleus accumbens, provides inhibitory control on excitatory glutamatergic thalamocortical neurons that project to pyramidal neurons in the prefrontal cortex (PFC). Hypofunction or blockade of these NMDA receptors on midbrain inhibitory GABAergic neurons could result in a disinhibition of glutamatergic thalamocortical inputs to pyramidal neurons in the PFC. This disinhibition would lead to a subsequent increased activity of glutamatergic thalamic neurons and increased activity mediated by the DL-a-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methylisoxasole-4-propionate (AMPA) subtype of glutamate receptors at thalamocortical synapses in the PFC. Based on this model, manipulations that enhance NMDA receptor function, such as activation of metabotropic glutamate receptor subtype 5 (mGlu5) located on GABAergic neurons, have potential as a novel approach to the treatment of schizophrenia. An alternative approach might be to reduce excitatory glutamatergic transmission at key synapses, such as thalamocortical synapses in the PFC, by activation of metabotropic glutamate receptor subtypes 2 and 3 (mGlu2 and mGlu3) presynaptically located in these synapses. Although other viable models of circuit changes associated with schizophrenia exist, this hypothesis provides one possible framework within which to consider effects of ligands at mGlu receptors that might be relevant to schizophrenia.
A large number of preclinical and clinical studies provide strong evidence that agonists of mGlu2 and mGlu3 also have potential as a novel approach to the treatment of schizophrenia. Consistent with the animal studies, clinical studies reveal that a highly selective agonist of group II mGlu receptors has robust efficacy in improving ratings for positive and negative symptoms in patients with schizophrenia. Unlike currently marketed antipsychotic agents, there were no major adverse events reported for the mGlu2/3 agonist in the clinical studies to date. However, further clinical studies will be required to fully establish safety of these compounds after long-term dosing in schizophrenic patients, as well as assess possible efficacy on the cognitive impairments in these patients. Taken together, these findings represent an important breakthrough and could ultimately lead to introduction of group II mGlu receptor activators as a fundamentally novel approach to the treatment of schizophrenia. As mentioned above, animal studies reveal that the psychotomimetic agents increase activity of glutamatergic synapses in the PFC, and hyperactivity of glutamate neurotransmission in the PFC and limbic structures has been postulated to play a critical role in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia. Interestingly, effects of psychotomimetic agents on glutamatergic transmission in the PFC are blocked by group II mGlu receptor agonists. Although it is not yet clear whether this action of group II mGlu receptor agonists is mechanistically related to the antipsychotic actions of these compounds, these actions fit well with current models of disruptions in subcortical and cortical circuits that might be involved in the psychotomimetic effects of NMDA receptor antagonists and the range of symptoms observed in schizophrenia patients. Despite advances in development of group II mGlu receptor agonists, it is not yet clear whether orthosteric agonists of these receptors will reach the market for broad clinical use. Long-term administration of group II mGlu receptor agonists induces robust tolerance in at least one rodent model that has been used to predict antipsychotic efficacy. These orthosteric agonists also activate both mGlu2 and mGlu3 and do not provide insights into which of these group II mGlu receptor subtypes is most important for clinical efficacy. Although, recent findings demonstrate that the antipsychotic-like effects of mGlu2/3 receptor agonists are absent in mGlu2-knockout, but not mGlu3-knockout, mice. Thus, it is possible that positive allosteric modulators of mGlu2/3 might be an alternative approach that could provide greater selectivity and other potential advantages to orthosteric agonists.
In some embodiments, group II mGlu receptor agonists are useful in the treatment of schizophrenia. In some embodiments, selective mGlu2/3 PAMs represent a novel approach to the treatment of these disorders that is devoid of the adverse effects associated with currently available drugs.

Alzheimer's disease (AD), also known as Alzheimer disease, or just Alzheimer's, accounts for 60% to 70% of cases of dementia. It is a chronic neurodegenerative disease that usually starts slowly and gets worse over time. The most common early symptom is difficulty in remembering recent events (short term memory loss). As the disease advances, symptoms can include: problems with language, disorientation (including easily getting lost), mood swings, loss of motivation, not managing self-care, and behavioural issues. As a person's condition declines, she or he often withdraws from family and society. Gradually, bodily functions are lost, ultimately leading to death. Although the speed of progression can vary, the average life expectancy following diagnosis is three to nine years.
Various brain regions, including the cerebral cortex, hippocampus, striatum, amygdala, frontal cortex and nucleus accumbens, display high levels of mGlu2 and mGlu3 receptor binding. This distribution pattern suggests a role for the mGlu2/3 receptor subtypes in the pathology of neuropsychiatric disorders such as Alzheimer's disease.
In some embodiments, the compounds described herein are mGlu2/3 receptor PAM used for treating Alzheimer's disease. The method includes administering to a subject in need thereof, an effective amount of at least one mGlu2/3 receptor PAM, thereby treating Alzheimer's disease.
Huntington's disease (HD) is a neurodegenerative genetic disorder that affects muscle coordination and leads to mental decline and behavioral symptoms. Symptoms of the disease can vary between individuals and affected members of the same family, but usually progress predictably. The earliest symptoms are often subtle problems with mood or cognition. A general lack of coordination and an unsteady gait often follows. As the disease advances, uncoordinated, jerky body movements become more apparent, along with a decline in mental abilities and behavioral symptoms. Physical abilities gradually worsen until coordinated movement becomes difficult. Mental abilities generally decline into dementia. Complications such as pneumonia, heart disease, and physical injury from falls reduce life expectancy to around twenty years from the point at which symptoms begin. Physical symptoms can begin at any age from infancy to old age, but usually begin between 35 and 44 years of age.
Excitotoxic injury to striatum by dysfunctional cortical input or aberrant glutamate uptake may contribute to Huntington's disease (HD) pathogenesis. Daily subcutaneous injection with a maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of the mGlu2/3 agonist LY379268 (20 mg/kg) beginning at 4 weeks has been found to dramatically improves the phenotype in R6/2 mice (the most commonly used animal model of Huntington's disease) (Reiner et al. Brain Research 1473 (2012) 161-172). For example, normalization of motor function in distance traveled, speed, the infrequency of pauses, and the ability to locomote in a straight line, and a rescue of a 15-20% striatal neuron loss at 10 weeks were observed.
In some embodiments, the compounds described herein are mGlu2/3 receptor PAM used for treating Huntington's disease. The method includes administering to a subject in need thereof, an effective amount of at least one mGlu2/3 receptor PAM, thereby treating Huntington's disease.
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a debilitating disorder characterized by rapidly progressive motor neuron degeneration, which results into weakness, muscle atrophy and spasticity. Riluzole is the only drug that improves survival of ALS patients, only to a modest extent. Thus, there is an urgent need for treatments that slow the progression of ALS. Familial ALS (FALS) is caused by mutations of several genes including SOD1 (type-1 superoxide dismutase). Although SOD1 mutations account for only 20% of FALS and about 2% of sporadic ALS, SOD1 mutant mice recapitulate several features of human ALS, and are widely employed as model for ALS. The validity of this model is strengthened by the evidence that SOD1 aggregates are detected in the spinal cord of people with sporadic ALS or with ALS caused by mutations of genes other than SOD1. The mechanisms by which SOD1 misfolding damages motor neurons are only partially elucidated and involve glutamate excitotoxicity, mitochondrial dysfunction, disruption of axonal transport, and abnormalities in astrocytes and microglia. One of the potential mechanisms of excitotoxicity in ALS is a reduced expression of the glutamate transporter, GLT-1, which clears glutamate from the synapses.
Enhancement of glial-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) is an established therapeutic target for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Activation of group II metabotropic glutamate (mGlu) receptors with the orthosteric agonist, LY379268, enhanced GDNF levels in cultured spinal cord astrocytes from wild-type mice and mGlu2 knockout mice, but not in astrocytes from mGlu3 knockout mice. LY379268 protected Sternberger monoclonal incorporated antibody-32 (SMI-32)+ motor neurons against excitotoxic death in mixed cultures of spinal cord cells, and its action was abrogated by anti-GDNF antibodies. Acute systemic injection of LY379268 (0.5, 1 or 5 mg/kg, i.p.) enhanced spinal cord GDNF levels in wild-type and mGlu2 knockout mice, but not in mGlu3 knockout mice. No tolerance developed to the GDNF-enhancing effect of LY379268 when the drug was continuously delivered for 28 days by means of s.c. osmotic minipumps (0.5-5 mg/day). Continuous infusion of LY379268 also enhanced the expression of the glutamate transporter GLT-1, in the spinal cord. Continuous treatment with 1 or 5 mg/kg/day with LY379268 had a beneficial effect on neurological disability in SOD1G93A mice. At day 40 of treatment, LY379268 enhanced spinal cord levels of GDNF and GLT-1, and rescued spinal cordmotor neurons, as assessed by stereologic counting of SMI-32+cells.
In some embodiments, the compounds described herein are mGlu2/3 receptor PAM used for treating ALS. The method includes administering to a subject in need thereof, an effective amount of at least one mGlu2/3 receptor PAM, thereby treating ALS. Parkinson's Disease
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a chronic movement disorder resulting from a disturbance in the normal functioning of the basal ganglia, a collection of subcortical nuclei that are essential for the initiation and control of motor activity. The underlying pathology of the disease is a progressive degeneration of the dopaminergic nigrostriatal tract that manifests as a range of motor deficits including akinesia or bradykinesia, tremor, rigidity and postural instability. Current therapies for PD are essentially based on dopamine replacement and include levodapa (L-DOPA), a precursor of dopamine, and dopamine receptor agonists. These agents are effective in treating the symptoms of the disease in the early stages, but are less effective as the disease progresses when debilitating side-effects such as “on-off” fluctuations in efficacy and uncontrollable dyskinesias (involuntary muscle movements) ensue. More importantly, dopaminergic treatments do not halt the disease progression. For these reasons, several investigators have started to focus on nondopaminergic interventions as symptomatic and neuroprotecive strategies in PD.
Studies have shown that Group II mGlu receptors play some role in alleviating akinesia in the rat. In functional studies (Murray et al. Pharmacology, Biochemistry and Behavior 73 (2002) 455-466), intracerebroventricular administration of LY379268 (1, 5, 10, 20 nmol/2 μl) produced a dose-dependent increase in locomotor activity in the reserpine (5 mg/kg ip)-treated rat. In contrast, systemic administration of LY379268 (0.1, 1, 10 mg/kg ip) did not reverse reserpine-induced akinesia and failed to effect rotational behaviour 1 month after unilateral lesioning of the nigrostriatal tract by 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA; 4 mg infused into the substantia nigra (SN)).These results suggest that mGlus may offer a nondopaminergic approach to the treatment of PD.
In some embodiments, the compounds described herein are mGlu2/3 receptor PAM used for treating Parkinson's disease. The method includes administering to a subject in need thereof, an effective amount of at least one mGlu2/3 receptor PAM, thereby treating Parkinson's disease.
In neuroprotective studies (Murray et al. Pharmacology, Biochemistry and Behavior 73 (2002) 455-466), animals were treated with LY379268 (10 mg/kg/day ip) either for 7 days following 6-OHDA injection into the SN (4 mg) or for 21 days following 6-OHDA injection into the striatum (10 mg) before measurement of tyrosine hydroxylase immunoreactivity in the striatum and/or SN as an index of neuroprotection. LY379268 provided some protection against nigral infusion of 6-OHDA and also some functional improvement and correction of dopamine turnover was observed. The compound also provided significant protection in the striatum and some protection in the SN against striatal infusion of 6-OHDA.
Low doses of the mGlu2/3 metabotropic glutamate receptor agonist, LY379268 (0.25-3 mg/kg, i.p.) increased glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) mRNA and protein levels in the mouse brain, as assessed by in situ hybridization, real-time PCR, immunoblotting, and immunohistochemistry. This increase was prominent in the striatum, but was also observed in the cerebral cortex. GDNF mRNA levels peaked at 3 h and declined afterwards, whereas
GDNF protein levels progressively increased from 24 to 72 h following LY379268 injection. The action of LY379268 was lost in mGlu3 receptor knockout mice, but not in mGlu2 receptor knockout mice. In pure cultures of striatal neurons, the increase in GDNF induced by LY379268 required the activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase and phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase pathways, as shown by the use of specific inhibitors of the two pathways. Both in vivo and in vitro studies led to the conclusion that neurons were the only source of GDNF in response to mGlu3 receptor activation. Remarkably, acute or repeated injections of LY379268 at doses that enhanced striatal GDNF levels (0.25 or 3 mg/kg, i.p.) were highly protective against nigro-striatal damage induced by 1- methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine in mice, as assessed by stereological counting of tyrosine hydroxylase-positive neurons in the pars compacta of the substantia nigra. It is speculated that selective mGlu3 receptor agonists or enhancers are potential candidates as neuroprotective agents in Parkinson's disease, and their use might circumvent the limitations associated with the administration of exogenous GDNF. Hence, selective mGlu3 receptor agonists or positive allosteric modulators (PAMs) would potentially be helpful in the treatment of chronic neurodegenerative disorder by providing neuroprotection.

Non-limiting examples of compounds described herein are presented in Tables 1 through Table 4.
In one aspect, the compound of Formula (I), (Ia), (Ib), (II), (IIa), (IIb), (IIc), or (III), possesses one or more stereocenters and each stereocenter exists independently in either the R or S configuration. The compounds presented herein include all diastereomeric, enantiomeric, and epimeric forms as well as the appropriate mixtures thereof. The compounds and methods provided herein include all cis, trans, syn, anti, entgegen (E), and zusammen (Z) isomers as well as the appropriate mixtures thereof. In certain embodiments, compounds described herein are prepared as their individual stereoisomers by reacting a racemic mixture of the compound with an optically active resolving agent to form a pair of diastereoisomeric compounds/salts, separating the diastereomers and recovering the optically pure enantiomers. In some embodiments, resolution of enantiomers is carried out using covalent diastereomeric derivatives of the compounds described herein. In another embodiment, diastereomers are separated by separation/resolution techniques based upon differences in solubility. In other embodiments, separation of stereoisomers is performed by chromatography or by the forming diastereomeric salts and separation by recrystallization, or chromatography, or any combination thereof. Jean Jacques, Andre Collet, Samuel H. Wilen, “Enantiomers, Racemates and Resolutions”, John Wiley And Sons, Inc., 1981. In one aspect, stereoisomers are obtained by stereoselective synthesis.
In some embodiments, compounds described herein are prepared as prodrugs. A “prodrug” refers to an agent that is converted into the parent drug in vivo. Prodrugs are often useful because, in some situations, they may be easier to administer than the parent drug. They may, for instance, be bioavailable by oral administration whereas the parent is not. The prodrug may also have improved solubility in pharmaceutical compositions over the parent drug. In some embodiments, the design of a prodrug increases the effective water solubility. An example, without limitation, of a prodrug is a compound described herein, which is administered as an ester (the “prodrug”) to facilitate transmittal across a cell membrane where water solubility is detrimental to mobility but which then is metabolically hydrolyzed to the carboxylic acid, the active entity, once inside the cell where water-solubility is beneficial. A further example of a prodrug might be a short peptide (polyaminoacid) bonded to an acid group where the peptide is metabolized to reveal the active moiety. In certain embodiments, upon in vivo administration, a prodrug is chemically converted to the biologically, pharmaceutically or therapeutically active form of the compound. In certain embodiments, a prodrug is enzymatically metabolized by one or more steps or processes to the biologically, pharmaceutically or therapeutically active form of the compound.
In one aspect, prodrugs are designed to alter the metabolic stability or the transport characteristics of a drug, to mask side effects or toxicity, to improve the flavor of a drug or to alter other characteristics or properties of a drug. By virtue of knowledge of pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic processes and drug metabolism in vivo, once a pharmaceutically active compound is known, the design of prodrugs of the compound is possible. (see, for example, Nogrady (1985) Medicinal Chemistry A Biochemical Approach, Oxford University Press, New York, pages 388-392; Silverman (1992), The Organic Chemistry of Drug Design and Drug Action, Academic Press, Inc., San Diego, pages 352-401, Rooseboom et al., Pharmacological Reviews, 56:53-102, 2004; Aesop Cho, “Recent Advances in Oral Prodrug Discovery”, Annual Reports in Medicinal Chemistry, Vol. 41, 395-407, 2006; T. Higuchi and V. Stella, Pro-drugs as Novel Delivery Systems, Vol. 14 of the A.C.S. Symposium Series).
In some cases, some of the herein-described compounds may be a prodrug for another derivative or active compound.
In some embodiments, sites on the aromatic ring portion of compounds described herein are susceptible to various metabolic reactions Therefore incorporation of appropriate substituents on the aromatic ring structures will reduce, minimize or eliminate this metabolic pathway. In specific embodiments, the appropriate substituent to decrease or eliminate the susceptibility of the aromatic ring to metabolic reactions is, by way of example only, a halogen, or an alkyl group.
In another embodiment, the compounds described herein are labeled isotopically (e.g. with a radioisotope) or by another other means, including, but not limited to, the use of chromophores or fluorescent moieties, bioluminescent labels, or chemiluminescent labels.
Compounds described herein include isotopically-labeled compounds, which are identical to those recited in the various formulae and structures presented herein, but for the fact that one or more atoms are replaced by an atom having an atomic mass or mass number different from the atomic mass or mass number usually found in nature. Examples of isotopes that can be incorporated into the present compounds include isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, sulfur, fluorine and chlorine, such as, for example, 2H, 3H, 13C, 14C, 15N, 18O, 17O, 35S, 18F, 36Cl. In one aspect, isotopically-labeled compounds described herein, for example those into which radioactive isotopes such as 3H and 14C are incorporated, are useful in drug and/or substrate tissue distribution assays. In one aspect, substitution with isotopes such as deuterium affords certain therapeutic advantages resulting from greater metabolic stability, such as, for example, increased in vivo half-life or reduced dosage requirements.
In additional or further embodiments, the compounds described herein are metabolized upon administration to an organism in need to produce a metabolite that is then used to produce a desired effect, including a desired therapeutic effect.
“Pharmaceutically acceptable” as used herein, refers a material, such as a carrier or diluent, which does not abrogate the biological activity or properties of the compound, and is relatively nontoxic, i.e., the material may be administered to an individual without causing undesirable biological effects or interacting in a deleterious manner with any of the components of the composition in which it is contained.
The term “pharmaceutically acceptable salt” refers to a formulation of a compound that does not cause significant irritation to an organism to which it is administered and does not abrogate the biological activity and properties of the compound. In some embodiments, pharmaceutically acceptable salts are obtained by reacting a compound of Formula (I), (Ia), (Ib), (II), (IIa), (IIb), (IIc), or (III) with acids. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts are also obtained by reacting a compound of Formula (I), (Ia), (Ib), (II), (IIa), (IIb), (IIc), or (III) with a base to form a salt.
Compounds described herein may be formed as, and/or used as, pharmaceutically acceptable salts. The type of pharmaceutical acceptable salts, include, but are not limited to: (1) acid addition salts, formed by reacting the free base form of the compound with a pharmaceutically acceptable: inorganic acid, such as, for example, hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, metaphosphoric acid, and the like; or with an organic acid, such as, for example, acetic acid, propionic acid, hexanoic acid, cyclopentanepropionic acid, glycolic acid, pyruvic acid, lactic acid, malonic acid, succinic acid, malic acid, malcic acid, fumaric acid, trifluoroacetic acid, tartaric acid, citric acid, benzoic acid, 3-(4-hydroxybenzoyl)benzoic acid, cinnamic acid, mandelic acid, methanesulfonic acid, ethanesulfonic acid, 1,2-ethanedisulfonic acid, 2-hydroxyethanesulfonic acid, benzenesulfonic acid, toluenesulfonic acid, 2-naphthalenesulfonic acid, 4-methylbicyclo-[2.2.2]oct-2-ene-1-carboxylic acid, glucoheptonic acid, 4,4′-methylenebis-(3-hydroxy-2-ene-1-carboxylic acid), 3-phenylpropionic acid, trimethylacetic acid, tertiary butylacetic acid, lauryl sulfuric acid, gluconic acid, glutamic acid, hydroxynaphthoic acid, salicylic acid, stearic acid, muconic acid, butyric acid, phenylacetic acid, phenylbutyric acid, valproic acid, and the like; (2) salts formed when an acidic proton present in the parent compound is replaced by a metal ion, e.g., an alkali metal ion (e.g. lithium, sodium, potassium), an alkaline earth ion (e.g. magnesium, or calcium), or an aluminum ion. In some cases, compounds described herein may coordinate with an organic base, such as, but not limited to, ethanolamine, diethanolamine, triethanolamine, tromethamine, N-methylglucamine, dicyclohexylamine, tris(hydroxymethyl)methylamine. In other cases, compounds described herein may form salts with amino acids such as, but not limited to, arginine, lysine, and the like.

In some embodiments, compounds described herein are prepared as shown in Schemes A and B.
Commercially available carboxylic acids were converted to the corresponding acyl chloride derivatives (9) using oxalyl chloride in CH2Cl2. After removal of solvents, the acyl chlorides were employed in a Friedel-Crafts acylation of substituted phenols (10) using aluminum chloride to provide the key acetophenone derivatives 11. The phenol derivatives (12) were coupled with 1,4-dibromobutane by heating with potassium carbonate in acetonitrile to provide the corresponding bromobutoxybenzoate derivative (13). Finally, Finkelstein alkylation of intermediate 11 with 13 under microwave conditions delivered the ester derivatives (14-17 & 18′-75′), which were saponified with potassium hydroxide to provide the target carboxylic acid derivatives 18-75.
Commercially available resorcinol derivatives (200) and biphenyl derivatives (201) were reacted under basic conditions to afford the ester derivatives of 203 which were saponified to afford the acids 203. Alternatively, the commercially available resorcinol derivatives (200) were reacted with bromo-benzyl bromide derivatives (204a, Y═Br) or ((bromomethyl)phenyl)boronic acid (204b, Y═B(OH)2) followed by a Suzuki cross coupling reaction of the intermediate 205a with borono benzoic acid derivatives (206b, Z═B(OH)2) or 205b with bromo-benzoic acid derivatives (206a, Z═Br) to afford compounds 203.

Human Embryonic Kidney (HEK-293) cell lines co-expressing rat mGlu receptors 2, 3, 4, 6, 7 or 8 and G protein-coupled inwardly-rectifying potassium (G1RK) channels were grown in Growth Media containing 45% DMEM, 45% F-12, 10% FBS, 20 mM HEPES, 2 mM L-glutamine, antibiotic/antimycotic, non-essential amino acids, 700 μg/ml G418, and 0.6 μg/ml puromycin at 37° C. in the presence of 5% CO2. Cells expressing rat mGlu1 and mGlu5 receptor were cultured as described in Hemstapat et al (Mol. Pharmacol. 2006, 70, 616-626). All cell culture reagents were purchased from Invitrogen Corp. (Carlsbad, Calif.) unless otherwise noted. Calcium assays were used to assess activity of compounds at mGlu1 and mGlu5, as previously described in Engers et al (J. Med. Chem. 2009, 52, 4115-4118). Calcium assays at mGlu3 were performed as described for mGlu5 with the exception that TREx293 mGlu3 Gα15 cells were treated with tetracycline at 20 ng/mL for 20 h prior to assay.
Compound activity at the group II (mGlu2 and mGlu3) and group III (mGlu4, mGlu6, mGlu7, and mGlu8) was assessed using thallium flux through GTRK channels, a method that has been described in detail. Briefly, cells were plated into 384-well, black-walled, clear-bottomed poly-D-lysine-coated plates at a density of 15,000 cells/20 μL/well in DMEM containing 10% dialyzed FBS, 20 mM HEPES, and 100 units/mL penicillin/streptomycin (assay media). Plated cells were incubated overnight at 37° C. in the presence of 5% CO2. The following day, the medium was exchanged from the cells to assay buffer [Hanks' balanced salt solution (Invitrogen) containing 20 mM HEPES, pH 7.3] using an FLX405 microplate washer (BioTek), leaving 20 followed by the addition of 20 μL/well FluoZin2-AM (330 nM final concentration) indicator dye (Invitrogen; prepared as a stock in DMSO and mixed in a 1:1 ratio with Pluronic acid F-127) in assay buffer. Cells were incubated for 1 h at room temperature, and the dye exchanged to assay buffer using an ELX405, leaving 20 μL/well. Test compounds were diluted to 2 times their final desired concentration in assay buffer (0.3% DMSO final concentration). Agonists were diluted in thallium buffer [125 mM sodium bicarbonate (added fresh the morning of the experiment), 1 mM magnesium sulfate, 1.8 mM calcium sulfate, 5 mM glucose, 12 mM thallium sulfate, and 10 mM HEPES, pH 7.3] at 5 times the final concentration to be assayed. Cell plates and compound plates were loaded onto a kinetic imaging plate reader (FDSS 6000 or 7000; Hamamatsu Corporation, Bridgewater, N.J.). Appropriate baseline readings were taken (10 images at 1 Hz; excitation, 470±20 nm; emission, 540±30 nm) and test compounds were added in a 20 μL volume and incubated for approximately 2.5 min before the addition of 10 μL of thallium buffer with or without agonist. After the addition of agonist, data were collected for approximately an additional 2.5 min. Data were analyzed using Excel (Microsoft Corp, Redmond, Wash.). The slope of the fluorescence increase beginning 5 s after thallium/agonist addition and ending 15 s after thallium/agonist addition was calculated, corrected to vehicle and maximal agonist control slope values, and plotted in using either XLfit (ID Business Solutions Ltd) or Prism software (GraphPad Software, San Diego, Calif.) to generate concentration-response curves. Potencies were calculated from fits using a four-point parameter logistic equation. For concentration-response curve experiments, compounds were serially diluted 1:3 into 10 point concentration response curves and were transferred to daughter plates using an Echo acoustic plate reformatter (Labcyte, Sunnyvale, Calif.). Test compounds were applied and followed by EC20 concentrations of glutamate. For selectivity experiments, full concentration-response curves of glutamate or L-AP4 (for mGlu7) were performed in the presence of a 10 μM concentration of compound and compounds that affected the concentration-response by less than 2 fold in terms of potency or efficacy were designated as inactive.
In order to generate a tetracycline (Tet)-inducible rat mGlu3 stable cell line to be used for a calcium mobilization assay, TREx293 cells (Invitrogen) were transfected with mouse Gα15-pCMV6 plasmid (Origene) using Fugene6 (Promega). The cells were selected for Gα15 expression with 1 mg/mL G418 in the presence of 10 μg/ml blasticidin to maintain Tet Repressor expression. Two weeks after the selection, polyclonal TREx293 Gα15 cells were obtained. The entire coding sequence of rat mGlu3 was amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and cloned into the Tet-inducible expression plasmid pcDNA5/TO (Invitrogen). Rat mGlu3-pcDNA5/TO was transfected into TREx293 Gα15 cells and selected for mGlu3 expression with 200 μg/ml hygromycin in the presence of G418 and blasticidin. The resulting polyclonal TREx293 mGlu3 Gα15 cells were plated for monoclonal selection and positive monoclones were identified in the calcium mobilization assay. Cells were in maintained in Growth Media containing DMEM, 10% Tet-tested FBS (Atlanta Biogicals), 20 mM HEPES, 2 mM L-glutamine, antibiotic/antimycotic, non-essential amino acids, 500 μg/ml G418, 100 μg/mL hygromycin, and 5 μg/mL blasticidin S at 37° C. in the presence of 5% CO2.
In order to generate a rat mGlu2 stable cell line to be used for a calcium mobilization assay, HEK293A cells (ATCC) were transfected with mouse Gα15-pCMV6 plasmid (Origene) using Fugene6 (Promega). The cells were selected for Gα15 expression with 1 mg/mL G418. Two weeks after the selection, polyclonal HEK293A Gα15 cells were obtained. The entire coding sequence of rat mGlu2 was amplified by PCR and cloned into the expression plasmid pIRESpuro3 (Invitrogen). Rat mGlu2-pIRESpuro3 was transfected into HEK293A Gα15 cells and selected for mGlu2 expression with 0.6 μg/mL puromycin in the presence of G418. The resulting polyclonal HEK293A mGlu2 Gα15 cells were then utilized for calcium mobilization assays. Cells were in maintained in Growth Media containing DMEM, 10% FBS, 20 mM HEPES, 2 mM L-glutamine, antibiotic/antimycotic, non-essential amino acids, 700 μg/ml G418, and 0.6 μg/mL puromycin at 37° C. in the presence of 5% CO2.

aIn these selectivity experiments, for all receptors a full concentration-response of agonist was performed once in triplicate in the presence and absence of a 10 μM final concentration of each compound. This allows determination of positive allosteric modulator (PAM) (left-shift of the agonist concentration response curve), antagonist (right-shift in the agonist concentration response with a possible decrease in maximal agonist response), and agonist (increase in baseline response) activity in a single experiment. General activity for each compound at each mGlu is listed (PAM, antagonist, Ago-PAM, inactive) followed by the fold-shift (FS) of the agonist concentration-response obtained. Where tested compounds demonstrate activity toward an mGlu receptor subtype, the maximal (Emax) and minimal (Emin) responses of the concentration-response of agonist are indicated. Where 10 μM test compound induced greater than a 2-fold shift (FS) of the glutamate concentration-response curve (L-AP4 in the case of mGlu7), full compound concentration-response curves were performed in triplicate on three different days to assess compound potency. Compound 67 showed weak antagonist/NAM activity (IC50 >10 μM) at mGlu1 and mGlu4, and compound 73 showed weak PAM activity at mGlu6 (EC50 >10 μM).
bInactive compounds show no ability to left or right shift the agonist concentration response curve at 10 μM.
As a representative of this series, compound 72 was profiled against a representative panel of CNS receptors through the NIMH Psychoactive Drug Screening Program (PDSP; see http://pdsp.med.unc.edu/indexR.html for details). As shown in Table 7, at a concentration of 10 μM, no binding activity was detected for compound 72 at forty-five CNS receptors, suggesting that the new mGlu2/3 PAMs have a low likelihood of off-target activity.
aCompound 72 was tested for displacement of radioligand binding activity at 10 μM. Assays were performed by the NIMH Psychoactive Drug Screening Program (UNC Chapel Hill) unless otherwise noted.

Pooled rat liver microsomes (BD Biosciences, # 452701) were preincubated with test compounds at 37.5° C. for 5 min in the absence of NADPH. The reaction was initiated by addition of NADPH and incubated under the same conditions. The final incubation concentrations were 4 μM test compound, 2 mM NADPH, and 1 mg/mL (total protein) liver microsomes in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) at pH 7.4. One aliquot (100 μL) of the incubation mixture was withdrawn at 15 min time points and combined immediately with 100 μL of ACN/MeOH. After mixing, the sample was centrifuged at approximately 13000 rpm for 12 min. The supernatant was filtered and transferred into an autosampler vial and the amount of test compound was quantified using a Shimadzu LCMS 2010EV mass spectrometer. The change of the AUC (area under the curve) of the parent compound as a function of time was used as a measure of microsomal stability. Test compounds were run in duplicate with a positive control. See table 8 for results.
A 20 μL aliquot of a 10 mM solution in DMSO of the test compound was added to 2.0 mL of heparinized rat plasma (Lampire, P1-150N) to obtain a 100 μM final solution. The mixture was incubated for 1 h at 37.5° C. Aliquots of 100 μM were taken at 15 min intervals and diluted with 100 μL of MeOH/ACN. After mixing, the sample was centrifuged at approximately 13000 rpm for 12 min. The supernatant was filtered and transferred into an autosampler vial and the amount of test compound was quantified using the Shimadzu LCMS-2010EV system. The change of the AUC of the parent compound in function of time was used as a measure of plasma stability. See table 8 for results.
A 96-well microtiter plate (Millipore, # MSSACCEPTOR) was filled with 300 μL aqueous buffer solution (in general phosphate pH 7.2 buffer was used) and covered with a microtiter filterplate (Millipore, # MAIPNTR10) to create a sort of sandwich construction. The hydrophobic filter material was impregnated with a 10% solution of polar brain lipid extract in chloroform (Avanti) as the artificial membrane, and the organic solvent was allowed to completely evaporate. Permeation studies were started by the transfer of 150 μL of a 100 μM test compound solution on top of the filter plate. The maximum DMSO content of the stock solutions was <1.5%. In parallel, an equilibrium solution lacking a membrane was prepared using the exact concentrations and specifications but lacking the membrane. The concentrations of the acceptor and equilibrium solutions were determined using the Shimadzu LCMS-2010EV and AUC methods. The Acceptor plate and equilibrium plate concentrations were used to calculate the permeability rate (Log Pe) of the compounds. The log Pe values were calculated using the following equation:
Log Pe=log{C·-ln(l-[Drug]Acceptor/[Drug]Equilibrium)}
C=(VD·VA)/(VD+VA) Area·time))
In this equation, VD (cm3) is the donor volume (0.150 cm3), VA (cm3) is the acceptor volume (0.300 cm3), Area (cm2) is the accessible filter area (0.168 cm2), and time (s) is the incubation time. [Drug]Acceptor and [Drug]Equilibrium are concentration of the test drug for the sample (Acceptor) and reference (Equilibrium) solutions in the acceptor compartment. See table 8 for results.
Representative in vitro ADME data for Group II mGlu PAMs is presented in Table 8.

Compounds 20, 36, 44, and 50 were selected for in vivo assessment of pharmacokinetic (PK) properties in rats. For this initial evaluation, the PK properties of the compounds by oral (p.o.) and intravenous (i.v.) routes of administration as shown in Tables 9 and 10 respectively, was determined. The PAMs were found to be systemically bioavailable with half-life (t1/2) values of greater than 90 min when dosed p.o. and demonstrate a range of maximal plasma levels from a low of 1.05 μM (50) to a high of 12.46 μM (36) (Table 9). All compounds had moderate volume of distribution at steady state (Vdss) and medium to high clearance (CL) values, indicating moderate metabolism with a primary distribution in plasma and extracellular fluids, suggesting that one or more of the PAMs might have promise as candidates for in vivo studies. The four compounds exhibited low (20) to good oral bioavailability (50) (%F) albeit at the relatively high oral dose of 20 mg/kg; however, the brain levels of 20, 36 and 44 were low, resulting in low brain:plasma ratios. Although the brain:plasma ratios of these compounds are low, the total brain concentration of 20 and 44 are 9-fold and 18-fold above the in vitro EC50 for mGlu2 respectively and close to the in vitro EC50, for mGlu3.
aCmax: maximum concentration of the compound detected in plasma. Tmax: time at Cmax. AUC: area under the curve. t1/2: terminal half-life. F: oral bioavailability.

Compound 44 displays Ago-PAM activity toward mGlu2 and PAM activity toward mGlu3 in GIRK thallium-flux assays. A concentration-response of 44 was performed in the presence (
The nature of the GIRK assay requires that each compound is screened for a single mode of pharmacology at a time since activity is only detected through the GIRK channel when thallium is added to the assay. The data presented in Table 5 represent compounds screened for activity in “PAM Mode,” where a test compound is added, followed 2.5 min later by an EC20 concentration of glutamate in the presence of thallium. It was noted that the response of 44 in “PAM Mode” toward mGlu2 decreased slightly at higher concentrations of test compound (
Compound 44 was evaluated next in a fold-shift assay, another measure of the potentiating activity of a PAM toward the orthosteric ligand glutamate (
Compound 44 was evaluated in an orthogonal assay of mGlu3 and mGlu2 activity. For mGlu3 the TREx tetracycline-inducible system (Invitrogen) was utilized. A cell line in which the expression of mGlu3 is dose-dependently induced by tetracycline (Tet) and functionally coupled to calcium mobilization by the promiscuous G protein Gα15 (
Compound 44 and BINA were also evaluated in calcium assays utilizing HEK293A mGlu2 Gα15 cells as shown in
A member of this series was evaluated in efficacy studies in rats. Given the low brain levels achieved by p.o. dosing for compounds 20, 36, 44, and 50 nine compounds were evaluated by intraperitoneal (i.p.) dosing in order to avoid first pass metabolism and to cast a wider net for a compound suitable for rat efficacy studies (Table 11). All compound plasma levels were determined, but only those with the highest plasma concentrations (i.e. 44, 73, 74, and 75) were evaluated for brain levels. Based on its combination of potency, selectivity, and PK properties, compound 74 was selected for efficacy studies in rats.

Subjects. Male Wistar rats (Charles River Laboratories, Raleigh, N.C.) weighing 300-350 g at the beginning of each experiment were housed in pairs in standard rat Plexiglas cages with food and water available ad libitum, except during food training and the food self-administration experiment (see below). Rats were maintained in a climate-controlled room at 21° C. on a 12 h reverse light/dark cycle and all experiments were conducted during the dark (i.e., active) phase (7:00 h-19:00 h) of the cycle under dim red lighting. All procedures were conducted in accordance with the guidelines from the National Institutes of Health and the Association for the Assessment and Accreditation of Laboratory Animal Care and were approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee.
Drugs. Cocaine hydrochloride (National Institute on Drug Abuse, Bethesda, Md.) was dissolved in sterile physiological saline and filtered through a 0.22 μm syringe filter (Fisher Scientific, Pittsburgh, Pa.) for sterilization purposes. Compound 74 was mixed into a 10% EtOH, 1% Tween 80 solution.
Food training. Details regarding the experimental procedures have been described previously.37 All rats were placed under food restriction (20g food/day) and trained during daily 1 hr sessions to lever press for 45 mg food pellets (Research Diets, New Brunswick, N.J.) under a fixed ratio 1 reinforcement schedule with a 1 s time-out period (FR1 TO1s). Successful responses were followed by illumination of a cue light for the duration of the time-out period, when lever presses had no consequence. Successful acquisition of food responding, defined as earning 100 pellets during each session, resulted in progression of the training program to FR1 TO10s and FR1 TO20s. Training lasted approximately 5 days.
Cocaine self-administration experiment. After successful acquisition of food training, rats (n=11) were fed ad libitum, surgically prepared with intravenous catheters inserted into the right jugular vein under isoflurane anesthesia (1-1.5% isoflurane/oxygen mixture) and allowed 7 days to recover (see Jin et al. 2010 for details). Rats were then trained to self-administer cocaine under a FR1 TO20s reinforcement schedule during daily 1 hr sessions. Each response at the active lever resulted in an intravenous infusion of cocaine (0.5 mg/kg/infusion) over a 2 s period in a volume of 0.05 Rats were trained for approximately 10 days until responding for cocaine stabilized (i.e., >10 infusions/session; <20% variability in number of infusions over three consecutive sessions). After stabilization of responding, rats were administered Compound 74 (0, 10, 20, 40 mg/kg; i.p.; 3 ml/kg volume; 60 min pretreatment time) according to a within-subjects Latin-square design. At least 4 days elapsed between drug/ vehicle injections to re-establish stable self-administration behavior (<20% variability over three consecutive sessions).
Food self-administration experiment. To assess non-specific actions of Compound 74, after successful acquisition of food training and stabilization of responding (<20% variability over three consecutive sessions), rats (n=8) were administered Compound 74 (0, 10, 20, 40 mg/kg; i.p.; 3 ml/kg volume; 60 min pretreatment time) according to a within-subjects Latin-square design. All test parameters, including the FR1 TO20s reinforcement schedule, were identical to the parameters under which cocaine was self-administered.
Statistical Analyses. The number of cocaine infusions/ food pellets earned during test sessions with Compound 74 was calculated as a percentage of the average number of infusions/pellets earned during the prior 3 baseline sessions. Data were then analyzed with a mixed design analysis of variance (ANOVA) with Compound 74 dose (within-subjects) and self-administration (i.e., cocaine vs. food; between-subjects) as factors. Significant effects were further analyzed with Tukey post hoc tests. The level of significance was set at α=0.05.
When assessed in vivo, compound 74 dose-dependently decreased cocaine- and food-maintained responding [compound 74 dose main effect: F3,51=14.55; p<0.0001]. However, cocaine-maintained responding was decreased to a greater extent than food-maintained responding at the highest dose tested (40 mg/kg; p<0.05) (See
