We report a series of potent and selective MC4R agonists based on spiroindane amide privileged structures for potential treatments of obesity. Among the synthetic methods used, Method C allows rapid synthesis of the analogs. The series of compounds can afford high potency on MC4R as well as good rodent pharmacokinetic profiles. Compound 1r (MK-0489) demonstrates MC4R mediated reduction of food intake and body weight in mouse models. Compound 1r is efficacious in 14-day diet-induced obese (DIO) rat models.
我们报告了一系列基于螺环吲哚酰胺优势结构的有效且选择性的 MC4R 激动剂,可用于肥胖的潜在治疗。在所使用的合成方法中,方法 C 允许类似物的快速合成。该系列化合物在 MC4R 上具有高活性,并且具有良好的啮齿动物药代动力学特征。化合物 1r(MK-0489)在小鼠模型中表现出 MC4R 介导的食物摄入和体重减少。化合物 1r 在为期 14 天的饮食诱导肥胖(DIO)大鼠模型中有效。
