We have identified and synthesized a series of 4-thiopyridyl acetophenones as positive allosteric potentiators of the metabotropic glutamate receptor 2. Structure–activity relationship studies directed toward replacement of the tetrazole in the initial lead led to the discovery of 16 (EC50= 340nM), which showed improved brain penetration over the initial lead.
