摘要
A series of potent and selective mGluR5 antagonists were synthesized and evaluated in vitro and in vivo. It was found that a pyridyl functionality is a potential replacement for acetonitrile in the lead structure, with 2-pyridyl being most favored. Additionally, the benzoxazole moiety could also be replaced by other heterobicyclic rings such as imidazothiazole. (C) 2003 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
