A novel series of tertiary amines as retinoid-related orphan receptor gamma-t (ROR gamma t) inverse agonists was discovered through agonist/inverse agonist conversion. The level of ROR gamma t inhibition can be enhanced by modulating the conformational disruption of H12 in ROR gamma t LBD. Linker exploration and rational design led to the discovery of more potent indole-based ROR gamma t inverse agonists.
