A subject of the present Application is novel derivatives of benzimidazole and imidazopyridine which have a good affinity for certain sub-types of melanocortin receptors, in particular the MC4 receptors. They are particularly useful for treating pathological conditions and diseases in which one or more melanocortin receptors are involved. The invention also relates to pharmaceutical compositions containing said products.
In order to systematically explore and better understand the structure-activityrelationship (SAR) of a diarylmethane backbone in the design of potent uric acid transporter 1 (URAT1) inhibitors, 33 compounds (1a–1x and 1ha–1hi) were designed and synthesized, and their in vitro URAT1 inhibitory activities (IC50) were determined. The three-round systematic SAR exploration led to the discovery of a highly
