Design, synthesis, and SAR of N-((1-(4-(propylsulfonyl)piperazin-1-yl) cycloalkyl)methyl)benzamide inhibitors of glycine transporter-1

摘要

The design, synthesis, and structure-activity relationships (SAR) of a series of N-((1-(4-(propylsulfonyl)piperazin-1-yl)cycloalkyl)methyl)benzamide inhibitors of glycine transporter-1 (GlyT-1) are described. Optimization of the benzamide and central ring components of the core scaffold led to the identification of a GlyT-1 inhibitor that demonstrated in vivo activity in a rodent cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) glycine model. ? 2012 Elsevier Ltd.
