Journal Article

Evidence that nicotinic alpha(7) receptors are not involved in the hyperlocomotor and rewarding effects of nicotine.

TL;DR: Results indicate a negligible role of alpha(7) receptors in nicotine-induced hyperlocomotion and reward in the rat, and support the view for an involvement of a member from the high-affinity nicotinic receptor subclass, possibly alpha(4)beta(2).
Journal ArticleDOI

9H-Xanthene-9-carboxylic acid [1,2,4]oxadiazol-3-yl- and (2H-tetrazol-5-yl)-amides as potent, orally available mGlu1 receptor enhancers.

TL;DR: The synthesis and the structure-activity relationship of this new class of positive allosteric modulators of mGlu1 receptors will be discussed in detail.
Journal ArticleDOI

Discovery of carmegliptin: a potent and long-acting dipeptidyl peptidase IV inhibitor for the treatment of type 2 diabetes.

TL;DR: Design, synthesis, and SAR are described for a class of DPP-IV inhibitors based on aminobenzo[a]quinolizines with non-aromatic substituents in the S1 specificity pocket and one representative, carmegliptin (8p), was chosen for clinical development.
Journal ArticleDOI

Synthesis and characterization of 1,3-dihydro-benzo[b][1,4]diazepin-2-one derivatives: Part 4. In vivo active potent and selective non-competitive metabotropic glutamate receptor 2/3 antagonists.

TL;DR: Combination studies with a cholinesterase inhibitor show apparent synergistic effects on working memory impairment induced by scopolamine in the delayed match to position task.
Journal ArticleDOI

Aryl- and heteroaryl-substituted aminobenzo[a]quinolizines as dipeptidyl peptidase IV inhibitors.

TL;DR: Synthesis and SAR are described for a structurally distinct class of DPP-IV inhibitors based on aminobenzo[a]quinolizines bearing (hetero-)aromatic substituents in the S1 specificity pocket that displays excellent in vivo activity and superior drug-like properties.
