Definitions

  • the present invention relates to non-basic melanin concentrating hormone receptor-1 (MCHR1) antagonists, pharmaceutical compositions containing MCHR1 antagonists and methods of treating diabetes, obesity and related diseases employing such MCHR1 antagonists.
  • MCHR1 antagonists non-basic melanin concentrating hormone receptor-1 (MCHR1) antagonists
  • pharmaceutical compositions containing MCHR1 antagonists and methods of treating diabetes, obesity and related diseases employing such MCHR1 antagonists.
  • MCH Melanin Concentrating Hormone Receptor-1
  • MCH mRNA is upregulated both in hyperphagic obese mice (ob/ob), and fasted animals.
  • Targeted disruption of the gene for MCH peptide results in hypophagia and leanness.
  • Disruption of the MCHR1 gene causes leanness, altered metabolism, and hyperlocomotion accompanied by mild hyperphagia.
  • over-expression of MCH peptide results in hyperphagia, obesity and diabetes.
  • Small molecule MCHR1 antagonists have been shown to cause weight loss in rodent weight and feeding models after both oral and intraperitoneal administration; Eur. J. Pharmacol., 438:129-135 (2002), Nat. Med., 8:825-830 (2002), Eur. J. Pharmacol., 497:41-47 (2004).
  • MCHR1 antagonists Numerous non-peptide MCHR1 antagonists have been disclosed. The scope of the genus for each reflects a common perception regarding the criteria required for ligand recognition as MCHR1 agonists. A recent review of MCHR1 patent disclosures emphasized the commonality of these structures by the following description; “Ubiquitous throughout the MCH patent literature are molecules consisting of a central scaffold to which linkers to an aryl or heteroaryl group and a basic amino functionality are attached.” (Kowalski, T. J. et al., Expert Opin. Investig. Drugs, 13:1113-1122 (2004)).
  • a series of novel high affinity selective MCHR1 antagonists for which binding affinity is not dependent upon inclusion of a basic amine functionality that is common to most of the disclosed MCHR antagonists.
  • the absence of the basic center greatly reduces the probability of off-target interactions such as binding to other biogenic amine receptors as well as binding to ion channels such as the HERG receptor in the heart.
