Abstract: The present invention provides a method of high-throughput screening (HTS) of active agents of a cell-surface G-Protein coupled receptor (GPCR) or another target receptor of interest. The method uses a non-invasive, sensitive reporting system that is proximal to the target of interest, combined with a dynamic, automated screening procedure so as to detect orthosteric ligands, such as agonists and antagonists, but is also suitable to detect allosteric or low affinity active agents of a GPCR and possibly other disease-related receptors.

Abstract: The present invention relates to novel compounds, in particular novel thieno-pyridine and thieno-pyrimidine derivatives according to Formula (I), wherein all radicals are defined in the application. The compounds according to the invention are positive allosteric modulators of metabotropic receptors—subtype 2 (“mGluR2”) which are useful for the treatment or prevention of neurological and psychiatric disorders associated with glutamate dysfunction and diseases in which the mGluR2 subtype of metabotropic receptors is involved. In particular, such diseases are central nervous system disorders selected from the group of anxiety, schizophrenia, migraine, depression, and epilepsy. The invention is also directed to pharmaceutical compositions and processes to prepare such compounds and compositions, as well as to the use of such compounds for the prevention and treatment of such diseases in which mGluR2 is involved.
