Identification of singleton P2X7 inhibitor 1 from HTS gave a pharmacophore that eventually turned into potential clinical candidates 17 and 19. During development, a number of issues were successfully addressed, such as metabolic stability, plasma stability, GSH adduct formation, and aniline mutagenicity. Thus, careful modification of the molecule, such as conversion of the 1,4-dihydropyridinone to the 1,2-dihydropyridinone system, proper substitution at C-5″, and in some cases addition of fluorine atoms to the aniline ring allowed for the identification of a novel class of potent P2X7 inhibitors suitable for evaluating the role of P2X7 in inflammatory, immune, neurologic, or musculoskeletal disorders.
