Optimisation of a novel series of selective CNS penetrant CB(2) agonists

[摘要]：A series of benzimidazole CB(2) receptor agonists were prepared and their properties investigated. Optimisation of the three benzimidazole substituents led to the identification of compound 23, a potent CB2 full agonist (EC(50) 2.7 nM) with excellent selectivity over the CB(1) receptor (> 3000-fold). Compound 23 demonstrated good CNS penetration in rat. Further optimisation led to the identification of compound 34 with improved selectivity over hERG and excellent CNS penetration in rat.
