Popis: Glycine receptors (GlyRs) are pentameric glycine-gated chloride ion channels that are enriched in the brainstem and spinal cord where they have been demonstrated to play a role in central nervous system (CNS) inhibition. Herein we describe two novel classes of glycine receptor potentiators that have been developed using similarity- and property-guided scaffold hopping enabled by parallel synthesis and pharmacophore-based virtual screening strategies. This effort resulted in the identification of novel, efficient and modular leads having favorable in vitro ADME profiles and high CNS multi-parameter optimization (MPO) scores, exemplified by azetidine sulfonamide 19 and aminothiazole sulfone (ent2)-20.
