The present invention relates to novel conformationally-defined macrocyclic compounds that bind to and/or are functional modulators of the motilin receptor including subtypes, isoforms and/or variants thereof. These macrocyclic compounds are useful as therapeutics for a range of gastrointestinal disorders, in particular those in which suppression or inhibition of the migrating motor complex (MMC) is effective or malfunction of gastric motility or increased motilin secretion is observed, such as hypermotilinemia, imitable bowel syndrome, dyspepsia, including gallbladder dyspepsia, diarrhea, cancer treatment-related diarrhea, cancer-induced diarrhea, chemotherapy-induced diarrhea, radiation enteritis, radiation-induced diarrhea, stress-induced diarrhea, chronic diarrhea, AIDS-related diarrhea,
C. difficile
associated diarrhea, traveller's diarrhea, acute infectious diarrhea, diarrhea induced by graph versus host disease, other types of diarrhea, functional gastrointestinal disorders, chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (emesis), post-operative nausea and vomiting, cyclic vomiting syndrome and functional vomiting. Accordingly, methods of treating such disorders with such macrocyclic compounds and pharmaceutical compositions thereof are also provided in addition to methods of modulating the migrating motor complex.
