A novel set of azabicyclic aryl amides have been identified as potent and selective agonists of the α7 nAChR. A two-pronged approach was taken to improve the potential hERG liability of previously disclosed α7 nAChR agonist, PNU-282,987, while maintaining the compound's other desirable pharmacological properties. The first approach involved further exploration of the aryl carboxylic acid fragment of PNU-282,987, while the second approach focused on modification of the azabicyclic amine portion of PNU-282,987. The best compounds from each series are characterized by rapid brain penetration, good oral bioavailability in rat, and demonstrate in vivo efficacy in a rat P50 auditory sensory gating assay. At least one analog from each series (1h, 1o, 2a, 9a, and 18a) shows an improved hERG safety profile over PNU-282,987.

The invention provides compounds of Formula I: 1wherein m1 is 0 or 1; m2 is 1 or 2; R1 is —H, alkyl, halogenated alkyl, substituted alkyl, cycloalkyl, or phenyl; R2 is —H, alkyl, halogenated alkyl, substituted alkyl, cycloalkyl, or phenyl, provided that when m1 is 1 at least one of R1 and R2 is —H; or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, pharmaceutical composition, a pure enantiomer or racemic mixture thereof. The invention also provides a method for treating a disease or condition in a mammal, wherein the α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor is implicated and for treating diseases where there is a sensory-gating deficit in a mammal comprising administering to a mammal a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of Formula I. These compounds may be in the form of pharmaceutical salts or compositions, and may be in pure enantiomeric form or may be racemic mixtures.
