The synthesis and biological evaluation of novel antagonists of the rat H(3) receptor are described. These compounds differ from prototypical H(3) antagonists in that they do not contain an imidazole moiety, but rather a substituted aminopyrrolidine moiety. A systematic modification of the substituents on the aminopyrrolidine ring was performed using pre-formatted precursor sets, where applicable, to afford several compounds with high affinity and selectivity for the H(3) receptor.
