The high expression of MCH in the hypothalamus with the lean hypophagic phenotype coupled with increased resting metabolic rate and resistance to high fat diet-induced obesity of MCH KO mice has spurred considerable efforts to develop small molecule MCHR1 antagonists. Starting from a lead thienopyrimidinone series, structure-activity studies at the 3- and 6-positions of the thienopyrimidinone core afforded potent and selective MCHR1 antagonists with representative examples having suitable pharmacokinetic properties. Based on structure-activity relationships, a structural model for MCHR1 was constructed to explain the binding mode of these antagonists. In general, a good correlation was observed between pK(a)s and activity in the right-hand side of the template, with Asp123 playing an important role in the enhancement of binding affinity. A representative example when evaluated chronically in diet-induced obese mice resulted in good weight loss effects. These antagonists provide a viable lead series in the discovery of new therapies for the treatment of obesity.

Rising resistance against current antibiotics necessitates the development of antibacterial agents with alternative targets. The "switch region" of RNA polymerase (RNAP), addressed by the myxopyronins, could be such a novel target site. Based on a hit candidate discovered by virtual screening, a small library of 5-phenyl-3-ureidothiophene-2-carboxylic acids was synthesized resulting in compounds with increased RNAP inhibition. Hansch analysis revealed pi (lipophilicity constant) and sigma (Hammet substituent constant) of the substituents at the 5-phenyl moiety to be crucial for activity. The binding mode was proven by the targeted introduction of a moiety mimicking the enecarbamate side chain of myxopyronin into the hit compound, accompanied by enhanced RNAP inhibitory potency. The new compounds displayed good antibacterial activities against Gram positive bacteria and Gram negative Escherichia coli TolC and a reduced resistance frequency compared to the established antibiotic rifampicin.
