Abstract
Positive allosteric modulation of the M1 muscarinic receptor represents an approach to treat the cognitive decline in patients with Alzheimer's disease. Replacement of a quinolone ring system in a quinolone carboxylic acid series of M1 modulators with a quinolizidinone bearing a basic amine linkage led to a series of compounds with higher free fraction, enhanced CNS exposure, and improved efficacy in rodent in vivo models of cognition.Entities:
