Abstract

Database searching led to the identification of potent A(2A) antagonists which do not contain the privileged furan moiety and which show selectivity over A(1) receptors. Simple substructure searching on a proprietary database identified compounds with activities in the low nM range. A targeted approach to the identification of non-furan containing compounds resulted in the identification of two novel series, with potency, selectivity and directional SAR from screening 113 compounds.
