A series of novel 5-trans-hydroxyadamantan-2-yl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydropyrazolo[4,3-c]azepin-4(1H)-ones that inhibit 11beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 are described. We discovered these 7-membered cyclic amide derivatives by introducing a distinctive linker through pharmacophore analysis of known ligands included in X-ray co-crystal structures. Further optimization using docking studies led to highly potent inhibitors 15b and 27, which furthermore showed the potent efficacy in in vivo studies. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
