The discovery and optimization of piperidin-4-yl-urea derivatives as MCH-R1 antagonists is herein described. Previous work around the piperidin-4-yl-amides led to the discovery of potent MCH-R1 antagonists. However, high affinity towards the hERG potassium channel proved to be an issue. Different strategies to increase hERG selectivity were implemented and resulted in the identification of piperidin-4-yl-urea compounds as potent MCH-R1 antagonists with minimized hERG inhibition.
本文描述了哌啶-4-基脲衍生物作为MCH-R1拮抗剂的发现与优化。围绕哌啶-4-基酰胺的先前工作导致了强效MCH-R1拮抗剂的发现。然而,对hERG钾通道的高亲和力被证明是一个问题。实施了不同的提高hERG选择性的策略,结果鉴定出哌啶-4-基脲化合物是强效的MCH-R1拮抗剂,且对hERG的抑制作用最小。
