Positive allosteric modulation of metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGluR5) is regarded as a potential novel treatment for schizophrenic patients. Herein we report the synthesis and SAR of 4-aryl piperazine and piperidine amides as potent mGluR5 positive allosteric modulators (PAMs). Several analogs have excellent activity and desired drug-like properties. Compound 2b was further characterized as a PAM using several in vitro experiments, and produced robust activity in several preclinical animal models.
