Melanocortin subtype-4 receptor agonists containing a piperazine core with substituted aryl sulfonamides
摘要:
The biological activity for a set of melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4R) agonists containing a piperazine core with an ortho-substituted aryl sulfonamide is described. Compounds from this set had binding and functional activities at MC4R less than 30 nM. The most selective compound in this series was > 25,000-fold more potent at MC4R than MC3R, and 490-fold more potent at MC4R than MC5R. This compound also reduced food intake after oral dosing at 25, 50, and 100 mg kg(-1) in fasted mice. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
