2XHD - PubMed Abstract: 
A series of AMPA receptor positive allosteric modulators has been optimized from poorly penetrant leads to identify molecules with excellent preclinical pharmacokinetics and CNS penetration. These discoveries led to 17i, a potent, efficacious CNS penetrant molecule with an excellent pharmacokinetic profile across preclinical species, which is well tolerated and is also orally bioavailable in humans.
