Combinatorial synthesis of 5-aryl-[1,2,4]-triazolo-[1,5-a]-pyridine derivatives as potential inhibitors of the adenosine 2A receptor

A novel and efficient 4-step synthesis of 2,4-diamino-4-bromo-pyridine 4 in 56% overall yield by a double Curtius rearrangement as a key step is reported. N-amination of 2,4-diamino-4-bromo-pyridine 4 with O-mesitylenesulfonylhydroxylamine 10 and subsequent reaction with aldehydes yielded, upon oxidative ring-closure, 5-bromo-triazolopyridines 2a-2f. Thereafter, from a combinatorial parallel Suzuki cross-coupling reaction 260 previously non-described 5-aryl-[1,2,4]-triazolo-[1,5-a]-pyridines 1 were obtained in acceptable overall yield.

Lead generation: Sowing the seeds for future success

Lead generation and the associated hit-to-lead process are key strategic elements in modern pharmaceutical research, and most companies have implemented this concept. Efficient lead generation is one of the main attempts to reduce the high attrition rates observed along the drug discovery process by focussing on the early developmental phases. The level of integration of the lead generation activities within the discovery organization, the flexibility in assessing and implementing new chemistries and new technologies, the high-quality standards set for the identification of the best possible chemical lead series will ultimately determine the future success in discovering new medicines.
