Discovery of novel phenethylpyridone derivatives as potent melanin-concentrating hormone 1 receptor antagonists.

abstract：:We report structure-guided modifications of the benzyloxy substituent of the Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 Receptor (IGF-1R) inhibitor NVP-AEW541. This chemical group has been shown to confer selectivity against other protein kinases but at the expense of a metabolism liability. X-ray crystallography has revealed that ...
