Herein we report the discovery, synthesis, and evaluation of a series of N-(4-acetamido)-phenylpicolinamides as positive allosteric modulators of mGlu(4). Compounds from the series show submicromolar potency at both human and rat mGlu(4). In addition, pharmacokinetic studies utilizing subcutaneous dosing demonstrated good brain exposure in rats.

N-(4-acetamido)-phenylpicolinamides show submicromolar potency as positive allosteric modulators of metabotropic glutamate receptor 4 (mGlu4), with good brain exposure in rats.
