Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2009 Aug 15;19(16):4747-51. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2009.06.059. Epub 2009 Jun 17.

Abstract

The synthesis and SAR studies about the bicyclic amine, carbamate linker and aromatic ring of a 1,4-diazabicyclo[3.2.2]nonane phenyl carbamate series of alpha7 nAChR agonists is described. The development of the medicinal chemistry strategy and SAR which led to the identification of 5 and 7aa as subtype selective, high affinity alpha7 agonists as excellent leads for further evaluation is discussed, along with key physicochemical and pharmacokinetic data highlighting their lead potential.
