Pyrazolo-pyridine derivatives as ligands for gaba receptors
-
, (2008/06/13)
A class of substituted and/or ring-fused pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine derivatives, possessing an optionally substituted cycloalkyl, phenyl or heteroaryl substituent on the pyrazole nitrogen atom adjacent the pyridine nucleus, and an optionally substituted cycloalkyl-alkoxy, aryl-alkoxy or heteroaryl-alkoxy substituent on the carbon atom adjacent the pyridine ring nitrogen atom, are selective ligands for GABAA receptors, in particular having high affinity for the β2 and/or β3 subunit thereof, and are accordingly of benefit in the treatment and/or prevention of adverse neurological disorders, including anxiety and convulsions.
