Piperidinyl-nicotinamides as potent and selective somatostatin receptor subtype 5 antagonists
摘要:
Nicotinamides of benzyl-substituted 4-aminopiperidines and their seven-membered analogs of generic structure 2 and 20 have been discovered as potent and selective SST5 antagonists. The activity (K-i) ranges from 2.4 to 436 nM. Most compounds exhibit decent physicochemical properties and follow a clear SAR pattern. Interestingly enough, the receptor is strongly enantiodiscriminating and binds in the amino-azepaneseries only the (R)-enantiomer. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
3-Nitro-4-amino benzoic acids and 6-amino nicotinic acids are highly selective agonists of GPR109b
摘要:
A series of 3-nitro-4-substituted-aminobenzoic acids were prepared and found to act as potent and highly selective agonists of the orphan human GPCR GPR109b, a low affinity receptor for niacin. No activity was observed at the closely homologous high affinity niacin receptor, GPR109a. A second series, comprising 6-amino-substituted nicotinic acids was, also prepared and several analogues showed comparable activity to the nitroaryl series. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
