8-Fluoroimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine has been established as a physicochemical mimic of imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidine, using both in silico and traditional techniques. Furthermore, a novel synthesis of a 3,7-disubstituted-8- fluoroimidazopyridine 3 has been developed and the utility of the physicochemical mimicry has been demonstrated in an in vitro system. Here, the 8-fluoroimidazopyridine ring contained in ligand 3 acts as a bioisosteric replacement for imidazopyrimidine in the GABAA receptor modulator 2.
