HTS campaign of the corporate compound collection resulted in a novel, oxalic acid diamide scaffold of α7 nACh receptor positive allosteric modulators. During the hit expansion, several derivatives, such as 4, 11, 17 demonstrated not only high in vitro potency, but also in vivo efficacy in the mouse place recognition test. The advanced hit molecule 11 was further optimized by the elimination of the putatively mutagenic aromatic-amine building block that resulted in a novel, aminomethylindole compound family. The most balanced physico-chemical and pharmacological profile was found in case of compound 55. Docking study revealed an intersubunit binding site to be the most probable for our compounds. 55 demonstrated favorable cognitive enhancing profile not only in scopolamine-induced amnesia (place recognition test in mice) but also in natural forgetting (novel object recognition test in rats). Compound 55 was, furthermore, active in a cognitive paradigm of high translational value, namely in the rat touch screen visual discrimination test. Therefore, 55 was selected as a lead compound for further optimization. Based on the obtained favorable results, the invented aminomethylindole cluster may provide a viable approach for cognitive enhancement through positive allosteric modulation of α7 nAChRs.

Treatment of variously substituted indoles with 2 equivalents of LDA at 40-45 °C led to their fast and efficient deprotection. This method was also extended to N-pivaloylcarbazoles and β-carbolines.

The first synthesis of bicyclic ortho-quinodimethanes from tricyclic sulfone precursors has been achieved. The required sulfones, 3,4,5,6- tetrahydro-1H-cyclohex[cd]benzothiophene-2,2-dioxide and 1,3,4,5,6,7- hexahydrocyclohept[cd]benzothiophene-2,2-dioxide, were prepared from α- tetralone and benzosuberone utilizing a ring closure proceeding through a sulfonium salt intermediate. The same strategy failed when frying to prepare the tricyclic sulfone of the indane series. Other contrasting reactivity was also noticed when comparing the ability and ease of formation of tricyclic ether compounds. These results indicate that the later ring system is considerably strained.
