Synthesis and biological evaluation of imidazole-based small molecule antagonists of the melanocortin 4 receptor (MC4-R).

Abstract:

:A novel series of imidazole-based small molecule antagonists of the melanocortin 4 receptor (MC4-R) is reported. Members of this series have been identified, which exhibit sub-micromolar binding affinity for the MC4-R, functional potency <100nM, and good oral exposure in rat. Antagonists of the MC4-R are potentially useful in the therapeutic treatment of involuntary weight loss due to advanced age or disease (e.g. cancer or AIDS), an area of large, unmet medical need.

  • Identification and optimization of novel 1,3,4-oxadiazole EP1 receptor antagonists.

    abstract::A novel series of oxadiazole EP1 receptor antagonists was identified by replacing the amide of a known glycine sulfonamide derivative with a 1,3,4-oxadiazole. Optimization of the substitution patterns on the three aromatic rings led to the identification of high affinity EP1 receptor antagonists. The derivative with h...
