- Imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidines as functionally selective and orally bioavailable GABAAα2/α3 binding site agonists for the treatment of anxiety disorders
-
A series of high-affinity GABAA agonists with good oral bioavailability in rat and dog and functional selectivity for the GABA Aα2 and -α3 subtypes is reported. The 7-trifluoromethylimidazopyrimidine 14g and the 7-propan-2-olimidazopyrimidine 14k are anxiolytic in both conditioned and unconditioned animal models of anxiety with minimal sedation observed at full BZ binding site occupancy.

- IMIDAZO-PYRIDINE DERIVATIVES AS LIGANDS FOR GABA RECEPTORS
-
A class of 8-fluoro-3-phenylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine derivatives, substituted at the meta position of the phenyl ring by an optionally substituted aryl or heteroaryl group, or by a pyrrolidinonyl group, which is directly attached or bridged by an oxygen atom or by a -NH- or -OCH2- linkage, being selective ligands for GABAA receptors, in particular having high affinity for the α2 and/or α3 and/or α5 subunit thereof, are accordingly of benefit in the treatment and/or prevention of adverse conditions of the central nervous system, including anxiety, convulsions and cognitive disorders.
