Optimization of a high-throughput screening hit against melanin-concentrating hormone receptor 1 (MCHrl) led to the discovery of 2-(4-benzyloxy-phenyl)-N-[1-(2-pyrrolidin-1-yl-ethyl)-1H-indazol-6-yl]acetamide (7a). This compound was found to be a high-affinity ligand for MCHrl and a potent inhibitor of MCH-mediated Ca2+ release, showed good plasma and CNS exposure upon oral dosing in diet-induced obese mice, and is the first reported MCHrl antagonist that is efficacious upon oral dosing in a chronic model of weight loss.(1)
