Abstract
Existing CB1 negative allosteric modulators (NAMs) fall into a limited range of structural classes, for which pharmacokinetic properties have not been reported, but are expected to be sub-optimal. In this study, we show a novel series of indole sulfonamides which have greatly improved metabolic stability and permeability compared to the most widely-studied CB1 PAM (Org27569). Compound 6c (ABD1075) had potency of 3 nM and showed excellent oral exposure and CNS penetration, making it a highly versatile tool for investigating the therapeutic potential of allosteric modulation of the cannabinoid system.
