A novel series of biaryl amides was identified as ROR gamma t inhibitors through core replacement of a starting hit 1. Structure activity relationship exploration on the biaryl moiety led to discovery of potent ROR gamma t inhibitors with good oral bioavailability and CNS penetration. Compounds 9a and 9g demonstrated excellent in vivo efficacy in EAE mice dose dependently with once daily oral administration.
