Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2009 Jul 1;19(13):3627-31. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2009.04.116. Epub 2009 May 3.

Abstract

The synthesis and biological evaluation of new potent opioid receptor-like 1 antagonists are presented. A structure-activity relationship (SAR) study of arylpyrazole lead compound 1 obtained from library screening identified compound 31, (1S,3R)-N-{[1-(3-chloropyridin-2-yl)-5-(5-fluoro-6-methylpyridin-3-yl)-4-methyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl]methyl}-3-fluorocyclopentanamine, which exhibits high intrinsic potency and selectivity against other opioid receptors and hERG potassium channel.
