Popis: We report the discovery and SAR of two novel series of imidazopyrimidinones and dihydroimidazopyrimidinones as metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGlu5) positive allosteric modulators (PAMs). Exploration of several structural features in the western and eastern part of the imidazopyrimidinone core and combinations thereof, revealed compound 4a as a mGlu5 PAM with good in vitro potency and efficacy, acceptable drug metabolism and pharmacokinetic (DMPK) properties and in vivo efficacy in an amphetamine-based model of psychosis. However, the presence of CNS-mediated adverse effects in preclinical species precluded any further in vivo evaluation.
