A series of pyrrolidinones derived from phenylalanines were synthesized as potent antagonists of the human melanocortin-4 receptor. These compounds showed high potencies and selectivities, and several of them had good oral bioavailabilities. In addition, 12e demonstrated in vivo efficacy in a murine cachexia model.
