Abstract

Abstract Structure–activity relationship (SAR) efforts around our initial lead compound 1 led to the identification of potent P2X 7 receptor antagonists with improved pharmacokinetic profiles. These compounds were potent and selective at the P2X 7 receptor in both human and rodent. Compound (entry 31) exhibited oral efficacy in the rat MIA and CCI pain models.
