The sigma-2 (σ2) receptor, also known as the Transmembrane Protein 97 (TMEM97, and MAC30 (Meningioma-associated protein), has been linked to a number of conditions are disease states such as schizophrenia, cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, traumatic brain injury, and neuropathic pain. As part or our on-going effort identify novel σ2 ligands, we have identified a series of novel, functionalized oxazolidin-2-one sigma-2 ligands (4). Our lead compound (4h) demonstrated high affinity (Ki = 36 nM) and excellent σ1/σ2 selectivity (79-fold). Evaluation of its affinity at key CNS targets via the Psychoactive Drug Screening Program (PDSP) also indicated a high degree of selectivity for σ2 over other receptors.
