Abstract:
:Lead optimisation of the imidazo[1,5-a][1,2,4]-triazolo[1,5-d][1,4]benzodiazepine class led to the identification of two clinical leads [RO4882224 (11) and RO4938581 (44)] functioning as novel potent and selective GABAA alpha5 inverse agonists. The unique pharmacological profiles and optimal pharmacokinetic profiles resulted in in vivo activity in selected cognition models.
