摘要:
The calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) receptor has been implicated in the pathogenesis of migraine. A class of urethanamide derivatives has been identified as potent inhibitors of the CGRP receptor. Compound 20 was found to be among the most potent (IC(50) = 17 pM). It was shown to retain excellent aqueous solubility (> 50 mg/mL, pH 7) while dramatically improving solution stability as compared to our previously disclosed development candidate, BMS-694153 (1).
