Aminopiperidine indazoles as orally efficacious melanin concentrating hormone receptor-1 antagonists

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2005 Dec 1;15(23):5293-7. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2005.08.049. Epub 2005 Oct 3.

Abstract

The synthesis and biological evaluation of novel 3-amino indazole melanin concentrating hormone receptor-1 antagonists are reported, several of which demonstrated functional activity of less than 100nM. Compounds 19 and 28, two of the more potent compounds identified in this study, were characterized by high exposure in the brain and demonstrated robust efficacy when dosed in diet-induced obese mice.
