Herein, we report a small molecule MCH-R1 antagonist which demonstrates oral efficacy in chronic rodent models. Substituted phenyl biaryl urea derivatives were synthesized and evaluated as MCH-R1 antagonists for the treatment of obesity. The structure-activity relationship studies in this series resulted in identification of urea 1 as a potent and selective MCH-R1 antagonist. Compound I exhibited oral efficacy in chronic (28 d) rodent models at 3-30 mpk showing significant reduction in food intake and weight gain relative to controls.
