Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2012 Jun 1;22(11):3739-42. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2012.04.023. Epub 2012 Apr 13.

Abstract

The design and synthesis of a novel series of Rev-erbα agonists is described. The development and optimization of the tetrahydroisoquinoline series was carried out from an earlier acyclic series of Rev-erbα agonists. Through the optimization of the scaffold 1, several potent compounds with good in vivo profiles were discovered.
