                                5-(Pyridinon-1-yl)indazoles and 5-(furopyridinon-5-yl)indazoles as MCH-1 antagonists
                             
                            
                                摘要:
                                A new series of 5-(pyridinon-1-yl)indazoles with MCH-1 antagonist activity were synthesized. Potential cardiovascular risk for these compounds was assessed based upon their interaction with the hERG potassium channel in a mini-patch clamp assay. Selected compounds were studied in a 5-day diet-induced obese mouse model to evaluate their potential use as weight loss agents. Structural modification of the 5-(pyridinon-1-yl) indazoles to give 5-(furopyridinon-5-yl) indazoles provided compounds with enhanced pharmacokinetic properties and improved efficacy.
