[0001] FIELD OF THEINVENTION The present invention relates to the gamma-aminobutyric acid A receptor subunit alpha 5 (GABA A α5) and has affinity and selectivity for GABA A Positive allosteric modulator of α5 (GABA A α5 PAM), thereby inhibiting GABA A The present invention provides compounds of formula (I) useful in the treatment or prevention of diseases associated with the α5 receptor, processes for their preparation and intermediates in those processes for their preparation, pharmaceutical compositions containing them, and their use as medicaments. [Background technology]
[0002] 2. Background of the Invention Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is the major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system. GABA-sensitive receptors are ligand-gated GABA receptors. A Receptors and G Protein-Coupled GABA B There are two main families of receptors.
[0003] Ligand-gated GABA A Receptors mediate the majority of inhibitory neurotransmission in the adult mammalian brain. They are composed of pentameric assemblies of multiple subunits (α1-6, β1-3, γ1-3, δ, ε, π, θ, ρ1-3) that form ligand-gated chloride channels (Olsen and Sieghart, Pharmacol Rev 2008, 60:243-260). The distribution of subunits varies developmentally and regionally in the brain. This high variability results in wide variation in inhibitory neuromechanisms, and in excitatory neuromechanisms in certain conditions, providing the potential for specific therapeutic interventions (Fritschy and Moehler, J Comp Neurol 1995, 359:154-194; Jacob, Front Mol Neurosci 2019, 12:Art 179). GABAA The physiological role and pharmacological profile of receptors strongly depend on the subunit composition. Studies in genetically modified mice have demonstrated that the composition of receptor subunits, particularly with respect to the α subtype, largely determines the pharmacology of compounds acting at benzodiazepine-sensitive allosteric modulating sites (BDZ sites) (Rudolph and Knoflach, Nat Rev Drug Discov 2011, 10:685-697). The widely distributed α1-containing receptors mediate sedative and amnesic effects, while α2- and α3-containing receptors are primarily responsible for anxiolytic, anticonvulsant and muscle relaxant effects (Sieghart and Sperk, Curr Top Med Chem 2002, 2:795-816; Whiting et al., Drug Discov Today 2003, 8:445-450). Receptors containing the α5 subunit (α5GABA A R) is preferentially expressed in the hippocampus, prefrontal cortex, amygdala, and nucleus accumbens (Olsen and Sieghart, Neuropharmacology 2009, 56:141-148; Sur et al., Brain Res 1999, 822:265-270; Martin et al., Biochem Soc Trans 2009, 37:1334-1337) and is thought to be involved in a variety of CNS disorders.
[0004] α5-containing receptors are mostly extrasynaptic and mediate tonic inhibition (Caraiscos et al., Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 2004, 101:3662-3667). In contrast to their inhibitory role in the mature nervous system, α5GABA A R can induce excitation in early hippocampal circuit development (Marchionni et al., J Physiol. 2007, 581:515-528). Their modulatory effects on the excitation of hippocampal and cortical principal neurons may support the role of α5GABA in neurodevelopment, cognition, learning and memory. AThis could explain the important effects of R and their potential therapeutic efficacy in a variety of disorders, including stroke, mild cognitive impairment, schizophrenia, depression, dementia-related conditions or diseases associated with impaired social cognition, or neurodevelopmental disorders, such as Down's syndrome or autism spectrum disorder (ASD) (Jacob, Front Mol Neurosci 2019, 12:Art 179; Mohamad and Tarmizi Che Has, J Mol Neurosci 2019, 67:343-351; Soh and Lynch, Curr Drug Targets 2015, 16:735-746).
[0005] Genetic and pharmacological reduction of α5-mediated tonic inhibition can improve learning and memory by enhancing neuroplasticity (Martin et al., J Neurosci 2010, 30:5269-5282) and network oscillatory activity (Towers et al., J Physiol 2004, 559:721-728; Glykis and Mody, Neurophysiol 2008, 95:2796-2807) (Moehler and Rudolph, F1000Res 2017 Feb 3;6.pii:F1000 Faculty Rev-101). However, α5GABA A Hippocampal and cortical hyperactivity resulting from reduced R function may also lead to characteristic behavioral changes in various CNS disorders, such as hyperactivity and impaired sensorimotor (Hauser et al., Mol Psychiatry 2005,10:201-207), impaired social behavior (Zurek et al., Ann Clin Transl Neurol 2016,3:392-398), and cognitive deficits in rodents (Engin et al., J Neurosci 2015,35:13698-13712; Martin et al., J Neurosci 2010,30:5269-5282; Prut et al., Genes Brain Behav 2010,9:478-488). In such pathologies, α5GABA receptors may be involved in the regulation of α5GABA receptor signaling. AFacilitating, rather than blocking, GABA R function may be a promising treatment for the positive, negative, and cognitive symptoms associated with such disorders. In support of this idea, GABA R activity in the ventral hippocampus has been shown to be increased in the ventral hippocampus. A Viral-induced overexpression of the receptor's α5 subunit normalized physiological and behavioral deficits in a rat model of schizophrenia (Donegan et al., Nature Communications 2019, 10:2819).
[0006] The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee described certain 4H-benzo[f]imidazo[1,5-a][1,4]diazepine derivatives (WO2017 / 161370A1) as α5-preferring PAM compounds, e.g., SH-053-2'FR-CH3, MP-III-022 or GL-II-73 (Stamenic et al. Eur J Pharmacol 2016,791:433-433; Savic et al., Neuropsychopharmacology 2008,33:332-339; Prevot et al., ACS Chem. Neurosci. 2019,10:2088-2090), which showed cognitive-promoting, anxiolytic and antidepressant effects in mouse stress models and aged mice (Prevot et al., Mol Neuropsychiatry 2019,5:84-97). MP-III-022 and the 6,7-dihydro-2-benzothiophen-4(5H)-one α5 PAM compound 44 (Chambers et al., J Med Chem 2003,46:2227-2240) improved cognitive performance in young and aged rats, respectively (Poe,Michael M.,Theses and Dissertations.1301(2016) https: / / dc.uwm.edu / etd / 1301; Koh et al. Neuropharmacology 2013,64:145:152). Acute treatment with GL-II-73 reduced chemogenetically induced behavioral deficits in a mouse model of depression (Fee et al., Int J Neuropsychopharmacol 2021, 24:505-518), whereas chronic treatment with GL-II-73 reversed age-related neuronal atrophy and working memory impairment in adult mice (Sibille et al., Biol Psychiatry 2020, 87:Suppl1, p. S85). In addition, SH-053-2'FR-CH3 and MP-III-022 attenuated pathological changes in locomotor activity in rats in a developmental model of schizophrenia (Gill et al., Neuropsychopharmacology 2011, 36:1903-1911; Batinic et al. Int J Dev Neurosci 2017, 61:31-39).
[0007] AgeneBio Inc. is a GABA A We have described imidazo[1,5-a][1,2,4]-triazolo[1,5-d][1,4]benzodiazepine derivatives (WO2015 / 095783A1) as α5 PAMs, and since their lead series has potent and selective compounds with good in vivo efficacy in rats with age-related dysfunction (https: / / grantome.com / grant / NIH / R44-AG063607-01), we have demonstrated that such compounds can suppress GABAergic signaling in the hippocampus under conditions of hippocampal hyperactivity in the preclinical evidence of biological studies of age-related cognitive dysfunction. A They found that it occupies the α5 receptor (Press release, AgeneBio, September 11, 2019; https: / / www.agenebio.com / agenebio-announces-additional-funding-to-advance-novel-gaba-a-therapeutic-program-to-address-alzheimers-and-other-cns-conditions / ).
[0008] The most preferred indication in the present invention is autism spectrum disorder (ASD). ASD is a complex heterogeneous neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by impaired social relationships, reduced communication, typical repetitive behaviors, and impairments in executive functions (Anagnostou et al., CMAJ 2014, 186:509-519; Diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders. 5th ed. Arlington, VA: American Psychiatric Association; 2013-Diagnostic Criteria for 299.00 Autism Spectrum Disorder). There are no approved medications for the treatment of core symptoms of ASD. Current pharmacological treatments are limited to the atypical antipsychotics risperidone and aripiprazole, which are approved for the treatment of ASD-related aggression and irritability (Anagnostou et al., Curr Opin Neurol 2018, 31:119-125). Antidepressants are used off-label to reduce delusional / obsessive-compulsive symptoms in ASD, and these treatments are only moderately effective and tolerable (Carrasco et al., Pediatrics 2012, 129:e1301-e1310), therefore there is an unmet need for more selective pathophysiology-based treatments of the aforementioned conditions.
[0009] ASD is a condition where GABA A A chromosomal abnormality, i.e., a duplication of copy number variation in the q11.2-13 region on chromosome 15, has been reported in ASD patients. In humans, this region is involved in the regulation of GABAergic signaling. A It contains genes encoding the α5, β3, and γ3 subunits of the receptor (Coghlan et al., Neurosci Biobehav Rev 2012, 36:2044-2055). Exome studies of autistic individuals have shown that the α5 GABA A Gabra5, the gene for R and its anchoring protein radixin - / -and RDX, and identified missense mutations in α5GABA receptor agonists in ASD. A Further supporting the R deficit (Zurek et al., Ann Clin Transl Neurol 2016,3:392-398). There is growing evidence for an excitation / inhibition (E / I) imbalance resulting from impaired GABAergic function in ASD. Reduced expression of the GABA synthesis enzymes GAD65 and GAD67, as well as reduced expression of GABA R1, are thought to be key factors in determining whether GABA R1 is involved in ASD. A Reduced receptor density has been reported in postmortem ASD brains (Fatemi et al., Biol Psychiatry 2002 52:805-810; Oblak et al., Autism Res 2009, 2:205-219). In imaging studies using positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS), GABA concentrations and GABA receptor agonists were significantly increased in the ASD brain. A Reduced receptor availability has been reported in patients with ASD (Mori et al., Brain Dev 2011, 34:648-654; Puts et al., Autism Res 2016, 10:608-619; Robertson et al., Curr Biol 2016, 26:80-85). Pilot PET studies have demonstrated increased α5GABA receptor availability across multiple brain regions. A R-selective tracer [ 11 C]Ro154513 reduced binding, suggesting α5GABA receptor agonism in ASD A A study suggested reduced levels of α5GABA R in ASD patients (Mendez et al., Neuropharmacology 2013, 68:195-201). Another study showed alterations in GABA-sensitive perceptual tasks in ASD patients (Horder et al., Sci Transl Med 2018, pii:eaam8434). Consistent with these observations, postmortem analysis showed that α5GABA AR expression was revealed in patients with ASD (Blatt et al., J Autism Dev Disord 2001,31:537-54; Fatemi et al. J Autism Dev Disord,2010,40:743-750). The impaired GABAergic function in ASD patients may be considered, so promoting cortical inhibition and restoring E / I balance by α5 PAM may be a viable therapeutic strategy in the treatment of the disease.
[0010] Increased neuronal excitability in the cortex can result in autism-like behavioral deficits in rodents (Yizhar et al., Nature 2011, 477:171-178). Supporting clinical findings, α5GABA A Genetic reduction of R. - / - In mice, Gabra5 showed reduced persistent currents and increased excitability of primary hippocampal neurons (Bonin et al., J Neurophysiol 2007, 98:2244-2254). In addition to impairments in executive functions, strong autistic-like behaviors and pathology were observed in Gabra5 mice. - / - This has been observed in mice (Zurek et al., Ann Clin Transl Neurol 2016, 3:392-398; Mesbah-Oskui et al., Neurotoxicol Teratol 2017, 61:115-122). Similarly, in a fragile X syndrome model (Fmr1 - / - ) mice with behavioral characteristics of ASD (Bakker and Oostra, Cytogenet Genome Res 2003, 100:111-123), A R downregulation and a defect in tonic inhibition (Curia et al., Cereb Cortex 2009, 19:1515-1520).
[0011] The prenatal valproate model has good construct and face validity, and is therefore a widely accepted disease model of ASD (Christensen et al., JAMA 2013,309:1696-1703; Roullet et al., Neurotox Teratol. 2013,36:45-56). In this method, time-mated female Wistar rats are administered a single dose of valproic acid on day 12.5 of gestation. After treatment with the investigational drug, offspring are behaviorally examined on day 59 of postnatal life in a social preference assay. The social preference test is a highly accepted assay for evaluating autistic behavior in rodents (Nadler et al., Genes Brain Behav 2007,3:303-314; Bambini-Junior et al., Brain Res 2011,1408:8-16). Briefly, in this assay, test animals are allowed to explore a conspecific, or a similar area, but without a target conspecific, separated by a dividing perforated wall. Autistic animals (such as prenatally valproate-exposed rats) spend little time engaged in social exploration during the test session. The reduction in social behavior in VPA-treated animals is consistent with the α5GABA A It is believed that the restoration of receptor-mediated inhibitory synaptic transmission may restore normal levels (Wang et al., Front Neurol 2018, 9:Article 1052). Thus, the present examples may be of great behavioral benefit in this preclinical disease model that reproduces the core symptoms of ASD. Thus, the compounds of the present invention, specifically GABA A It may be proposed that α5 PAM may have therapeutic potential for treating core symptoms of autism spectrum disorder in humans.
[0012] It has also been shown that positive modulators of GABA-A receptors, such as nonselective clonazepam at low doses, can ameliorate symptoms in preclinical models of ASD (Han et al., Nature 2012, 489:385-390; Okamoto et al., J Neuroimmunol 2018, 321:92-96), raising hopes that clinically used benzodiazepines could be used at extremely low doses for the treatment of the disease. In addition to this strategy, subunit-selective compounds, such as α2 / 3 modulators (AZD7325; https: / / www.clinicaltrials.gov / ct2 / show / NCT03678129) or positive allosteric modulators of α5, may provide alternative approaches for the treatment of ASD, possibly with improved therapeutic windows. Accordingly, the α5-selective PAM compound RG7816 (RO7017773) is in Phase II clinical development for the treatment of ASD (https: / / www.clinicaltrials.gov / ct2 / show / NCT04299464).
[0013] Therefore, α5GABA, A GABA, a compound with high affinity and selectivity for R A α5 PAM is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by a single symptom and / or multiple symptoms of the disease that are mediated by GABAergic receptor agonists. AIt may be used alone or in combination with one or more other active ingredients for the treatment or prevention of disorders of the central nervous system which may be associated with the alpha5 receptor. These include, but are not limited to, neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD) (Mendez et al., Neuropharmacology 2013, 68:195-201), fragile X disorder (Curia et al., Cereb. Cortex 2009, 19:1515-1520), Prader-Willi syndrome (Bittel et al., J Med Genet 2003, 40:568-574), or Down syndrome (Braudeau et al., J Psychopharmacology 2011, 25:1030-1042; Martinez-Cue et al., J Neurosci 2013, 33:953-966), neurocognitive disorders (Collinson et al., J Neurosci 2002, 22:5572-5580), such as Alzheimer's disease (AD) (Kwakowsky et al., J Neurochem 2018,145:374-392;Solas et al.,Curr Pharm Des 2015;21:4960-4971;Wu et al., Nat Commun 2014, 4159), prodromal AD and mild cognitive impairment (Maubach, Curr Drug Targets CNS Neurol Disord 2003, 2:233-239), vascular cognitive impairment and vascular dementia (Gacsalyi et al., Eur J Pharmacol 2018, 834:118-125), frontotemporal lobar degeneration including frontotemporal dementia, progressive supranuclear palsy and corticobasal syndrome (Murley and Rowe, Brain 2018, 5:1263-1285), dementia with Lewy bodies (Khundakar et al., Acta Neuropathol Commun 2016, 4:66), age-related memory impairment and cognitive decline (Koh et al., Neuropharmacology 2013, 64:142-152), cognitive impairment associated with brain cancer, including but not limited to medulloblastoma (Sengupta et al., CNS Oncol 2014, 3:245-247), postoperative dementia (Cheng et al., J Neurosci 2006, 26:3713-3720), inflammation-induced dementia (Wang et al., Cell Rep 2012, 2:488-496), HIV-associated neurocognitive disorder (Green and Thayer, Neuropharmacology 2019, 149:161-168), cognitive impairment associated with diseases, including but not limited to migraine and tension-type headache (Russo et al., Am J Hum Genet 2005, 76:327-333), multiple sclerosis (Kammel et al., Neuroscience 2018,395:89-100), Parkinson's disease (Blaszczyk,Front Neurosci 2016,10:269-277), epilepsy (McGinnity et al.,Brain Commun 2021,3(1):fcaa190; Schipper et al.,Mol Neurobiol 2016,53:5252-5265), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and adult attention deficit (Bollmann et al.,Transl Psychiatry 2015,8:e589;Edden et al., Arch Gen Psychiatry 2014,69:750-753), or including but not limited to post-traumatic stress disorder (Lu et al., Neuronal Plast 2017,5715-816), schizophrenia (Guidotti et al., Psychopharmacology 2005,180:191-205), positive symptoms, negative symptoms and / or cognitive symptoms associated with schizophrenia (Asai et al., Schizophrenia Res 2008,99:333-340; Donegan et al., Nature Communications 2019,10:Article number 2819; Gill et al., Neuropsychopharmacology 2011,36:1903-1911; Hauser et al., Mol Psychiatry 2005,10:201-207; Marques et al., Mol Psychiatry 2021,26:2616-2625; Redrobe et al., Psychopharmacology 2012,221:451-468), bipolar disorder (Otani et al., Neurosci Lett 2005,381:108-113), Huntington's disease (Du et al., Front Mol Neurosci. 2017,10:198), neurofibromatosis type I (Ribeiro et al., Cortex 2015,64:194-208), sleep disorders (Mesbah-Oskui et al., Neurotoxicol Teratol 2017,61:115-122), substance-related and addictive disorders, including, but not limited to, alcohol use disorder or gambling disorder (Mick et al., Addict Biol 2017,22:1601-1609; Stephens et al., Eur J Pharmacol 2005,526:240-250), fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (Toso et al., Am J Obstet Gynecol 2006,195:522-527), mood disorders (Bugay et al., Neuropsychopharmacology 2020,45:2289-2298; Carreno et al., Int J Neuropsychopharmacology 2017,20:504-509;Choudary et al., Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 2005,102:15653-15658; Fischell et al., Neuropsychopharmacology 2015;40:2499-2509), psychiatric disorders (Wearne et al., Neuropsychopharmacology 2016,111:107-118), substance-induced psychiatric disorders (Neugebauer et al., Behav Brain Res 2018,342:11-18), anxiety disorders (Behlke et al., Neuropsychopharmacology 2016,41:2492-2501; Botta et al., Nat Neuroscience 2015,18:1493-1500), fear-related disorders (Botta et al., Nat Neuroscience 2015,18:1493-1500; Crestani et al., Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 2002,99:8980-8985), stress disorders (Fischell et al., Neuropsychopharmacology 2015;40:2499-2509), Alzheimer's disease-related neuropsychiatric symptoms (Xu et al., Psychopharmacology 2018,235:1151-1161), stroke (Clarkson et al., Nature 2010,468:305-309; Lake et al., J Cereb Blood Flow Metab 2015,35:1601-1609), traumatic brain injury (Khodaei et al., Crit Care Med 2020,48:533-544), and neuropathic pain (Hernandez-Reyes et al., Pain 2019,160:1448-1458), as well as other CNS disorders including inflammatory pain (Bravo-Hernandez et al., Eur J Pharmacol. 2014,734:91-97; Munro et al., Neuropharmacology 2011,61:121-132). α5GABA; AModulating α5GABA may also be useful in treating diseases and conditions including, but not limited to, bronchoconstrictive diseases, such as, but not limited to, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and bronchopulmonary dysplasia (Gallos et al., Am J Physiol Lung Cell Mol Physiol 2015, 308:L931-942; Mizuta et al., Am J Physiol Lung Cell Mol Physiol 2008, 294:L1206-1216), and obesity (Xia et al., Mol Psychiatry 2021, doi:10.1038 / s41380-021-01053-w).

[0072] The term "modulator" refers to a molecule that interacts with a target receptor, where the interaction can be, for example, agonistic, antagonistic, or inverse agonistic.
[0073] The term "inhibitor" refers to a molecule that competes with, reduces or prevents the binding of a particular ligand to a particular receptor, or reduces or prevents the inhibition of the function of a particular protein.
[0074] The term "agonist" refers to a compound that has affinity for the binding site of a receptor and enhances the activity of a receptor-mediated response. A "full agonist" produces a complete response, whereas a "partial agonist" produces less than full activation even when the entire receptor population is occupied.
[0075] The term "inverse agonist" refers to a compound that produces an effect opposite to that of an agonist by binding to the same agonist binding site or reduces the effect of the agonist by binding at a different allosteric binding site.
[0076] The term "antagonist" refers to a compound that reduces or prevents the action of another compound or receptor site, or weakens the effect of an agonist. A "competitive antagonist" binds to the same site as an agonist but does not activate it, thus blocking the action of the agonist. A "noncompetitive antagonist" binds to an allosteric site on the receptor and prevents activation of the receptor. The binding of a "reversible antagonist" to the receptor is noncovalent (can be washed out), whereas the binding of an "irreversible antagonist" is covalent (cannot be washed out).
[0077] The term "allosteric modulator" refers to a compound that binds to a receptor at a site different from the agonist binding site, i.e., an allosteric site, where the affinity and / or activity of the receptor for an endogenous ligand or agonist is altered by inducing a conformational change in the receptor. A "positive allosteric modulator" or "PAM" increases the affinity and / or activity, whereas a "negative allosteric modulator" or "NAM" decreases the affinity and / or activity of the receptor. The compounds of formula (I) defined above are positive allosteric modulators.
[0078] The "inhibition constant" (K i The term K refers to the absolute binding affinity of a particular inhibitor to its receptor. It is measured using a competitive binding assay and follows the Cheng-Prusoff relationship: K i =IC 50 / [1+([L] / K D )] (where [L] is the concentration of radioactive ligand and K D is the affinity of the labeled ligand for the receptor binding sites) to determine the concentration at which a particular inhibitor would occupy half of the receptors in the absence of competing ligand (IC 50 ) is calculated from K i The value is pK i The values can be logarithmically transformed (-logK i ), where higher values indicate exponentially higher potency.
[0079] The term "submaximal effective concentration" refers to the concentration of a particular compound required to obtain 10% of the maximum specific effect.
[0080] The terms "condition," "defect," "deficiency," "disability," "disorder," "disease" or "disease state" are used interchangeably to refer to any disease, condition, symptom, syndrome, disorder or indication.

[0146] Biological Example 1: Binding Assays GABA used for receptor binding assays A The α5β3γ2 protein is human recombinant GABA AThe membranes were derived from HEK cells (Millipore CYL3073) expressing α5β3γ2 receptors. The cells were stored and cultured in-house according to the instructions provided by the supplier (Millipor). The cell pellet was homogenized at maximum speed for 15 seconds using an Ultra Turrax (Janke&Kunkel) in 10x modified Krebs-Henseleit buffer (membrane preparation buffer): 20 mM Tris, 120 mM NaCl, 100 mM KCl, 25 mM CaCl2 and 25 mM MgCl2 pH=7.4 at 4°C. The homogenate was centrifuged at 40,000g for 30 minutes at 4°C. The supernatant was discarded and the resulting pellet was washed in membrane preparation buffer. The pellet was resuspended in membrane preparation buffer and aliquots of 1.4 mL ampoules were stored at -70°C until use.
[0147] Receptor binding assays were performed in 96-well format in deep well plates. For each 96-well plate, one ampoule of membrane homogenate was thawed and diluted in binding buffer (50 mM Tris pH=7.4, 100 mM KCl) and 200 μL was dispensed into each well. Radioligand [ 3 H]Ro151788 (Perkin Elmer: NET757250UC) was prepared in binding buffer and added to each well in a volume of 50 μL to give a final concentration of 0.5 nM. Appropriate concentrations of test compounds were added in an additional 50 μL. The final assay volume was 300 μL. Incubation was performed for 60 min at 4° C. For non-specific binding, 10 μM unlabeled diazepam was used. After incubation, samples were filtered onto UniFilter® GF / B™ using a Filtermate Harvester (Perkin Elmer) and washed with 5×1 mL of binding buffer. Plates were dried for 1 h at 40° C. and 40 μL of Microscint (Perkin Elmer) scintillation cocktail was added to each well. Plates were read in a Microbeta (Perkin Elmer).
[0148] Specific radioligand binding (SB) was defined as the difference between total binding (Tot) and nonspecific binding (NSB). Results are expressed as the percentage inhibition of specific binding obtained in the presence of the compound of interest.
[0149] I C 50 and K. i A minimum of six drug concentrations were used in triplicate for determination of IC 50 The K values (i.e., the concentration of compound that inhibits specific binding by 50%) were calculated from the concentration-displacement curves by sigmoidal fitting using Origin 7.5 software. i The value (i.e., the inhibition constant) is calculated using the Cheng-Prusoff equation, K i =IC 50 / [1+(L / K D )] (where [L] is the concentration of radioactive ligand and K D is the affinity of the labeled ligand for the receptor). D was determined from saturation analysis.
[0150] The compounds of the present invention were tested in the assays described above and all showed GABA A It was found to have high affinity for the α5 receptor (K i <150nM).

[0154] Automated whole-cell patch clamp recordings were performed from cells 2-4 days after plating. Cells were detached using trypsin / EDTA (Sigma) treatment (2 min in 0.25% trypsin at 37°C) and then resuspended after centrifugation (125g, 3 min, twice) in serum-free based medium (Gibco, CHO-S-SFM-II) containing 12.5 mM HEPES, 1x penicillin-streptomycin-amphotericin (SigmaMix) and soybean trypsin inhibitor (Sigma, 0.04 mg / ml).
[0155] The cell suspension, as well as the extracellular solution (130 mM NaCl, 5 mM KCl, 5.1 mM HEPES, 4.9 mM HEPES-Na, 10 mM CaCl2, 2 mM MgCl2, 10 mM glucose and 0.1% DMSO, pH = 7.35-7.4) and the intracellular solution (80 mM KCl, 50 mM KF, 36 mM KOH, 10 mM EGTA, 10 mM HEPES, 1.75 mM MgCl2, 0.5 mM CaCl2, 4 mM Na2ATP, 14 mM creatine phosphate, 50 U / ml creatine-phosphokinase, 0.3 mM GTP, pH = 7.25-7.3) were added to a QPatch-HTX automated patch clamp system (Sophion) at room temperature in single-cell mode. Inward currents were elicited at a holding potential of -80 mV, first five times in concentration-matched DMSO (0.1 or 0.3%) control solution, followed by 3 s long applications of the control agonist GABA at 1 μM with 2-4 min intervals, then four times in the presence of test compound, and finally three times again in control solution (washout). At the end of the experiment, 100 μM GABA was applied to saturate the GABA response and to assess the effectiveness of the control GABA application. Current signals were low-pass filtered at 100 Hz and recorded at a sampling rate of 1 kHz.
[0156] The percentage of modulation was calculated from a comparison of the amplitude of the GABA-evoked peak current in the presence and absence of test compound.
[0157] The compounds of the invention were tested at 1 μM in the assay described above and all exhibited GABA A It was found to have positive allosteric modulator activity of α5.
