摘要
The highly potent, selective, and brain-penetrant metabotropic glutamate subtype 5 (mGlu5) receptor antagonists 3-(5-pyridin-2-yl-2H-tetrazol-2-yl)benzonitrile (47) and 3-fluoro-5-(5-pyridin-2-yl-2H-tetrazol-2-yl)benzonitrile (48) are reported. Compound 47 is active in the rat fear-potentiated startle (FPS) model of anxiety with ED50 = 5.4 mg/kg (po) when dosed acutely. In this model the anxiolytic effects of 47 rapidly tolerate on repeated dosing.
