Abstract
Design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of pyridazine-based, 4-bicyclic heteroaryl-piperidine derivatives as potent stearoyl-CoA desaturase-1 (SCD1) inhibitors are described. In a chronic study of selected analog (3e) in Zucker fa/fa (ZF) rat, dose-dependent decrease of body weight gain and plasma fatty acid desaturation index (DI) in both C16 and C18 are also demonstrated. The results indicate that the plasma fatty acid DI may serve as an indicator for direct target engagement and biomarker for SCD1 inhibition.
