Optimization of imidazole amide derivatives as cannabinoid-1 receptor antagonists for the treatment of obesity.

Abstract:

:Several imidazole-based cyclohexyl amides were identified as potent CB-1 antagonists, but they exhibited poor oral exposure in rodents. Incorporation of a hydroxyl moiety on the cyclohexyl ring provided a dramatic improvement in oral exposure, together with a ca. 10-fold decrease in potency. Further optimization provided the imidazole 2-hydroxy-cyclohexyl amide 45, which exhibited hCB-1 K(i)=3.7nM, and caused significant appetite suppression and robust, dose-dependent reduction of body weight gain in industry-standard rat models.
