Potent 3-spiropiperidine growth hormone secretagogues

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 1998 Jan 6;8(1):107-12. doi: 10.1016/s0960-894x(97)10199-8.

Abstract

Systematic SAR studies of the different regioisomers and homologues of the spiro(indane-1,4-piperidine) moiety in the growth hormone secretagogue L-162,752 are presented. Among them, spiro(3H-1-benzopyran-2,3-piperidine) was found to afford secretagogues with low nanomolar in vitro activity.
