A scaffold hopping approach has been exploited to design a novel class of cannabinoid (CB1) receptor antagonists for the treatment of obesity. On the basis of shape-complementarity and synthetic feasibility the central fragment, a methylpyrazole, in Rimonabant was replaced by a pyrazine. The synthesis and CB1 antagonistic activities of a new series of 5,6-diaryl-pyrazine-2-amide derivatives are described. Several compounds showed antagonist potency below 10nM for the CB1 receptor.
一种基于骨架跃迁的方法已被用于设计一类新型的大麻素(CB1)受体拮抗剂,用于治疗肥胖症。基于形状互补性和合成可行性,利莫那班中的中心片段甲基吡唑被吡嗪所取代。本文描述了一系列新型5,6-二芳基吡嗪-2-酰胺衍生物的合成及其对CB1的拮抗活性。几种化合物对CB1受体显示出低于10nM的拮抗效力。
