Abstract

A series of 1,3-disubstituted-1H-pyrrole-based antagonists of the human Melanin-Concentrating Hormone Receptor 1 (h-MCH-R1) are reported. High-throughput screening of the AstraZeneca compound collection yielded 1, a hit with moderate affinity towards MCH-R1. Subsequent structural manipulations and SAR analysis served to rationalize potency requirements, and 12 was identified as a novel, functional MCH-R1 antagonist with favorable pharmacokinetic properties.

Graphical abstractThe optimization of an HTS-derived hit compound into a potent and metabolically stable MCH-R1 antagonist is described.Figure optionsDownload full-size imageDownload as PowerPoint slide
