1,4-Benzodiazepine peripheral cholecystokinin (CCK-A) receptor agonists

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2001 May 7;11(9):1145-8. doi: 10.1016/s0960-894x(01)00164-0.

Abstract

A series of 1,4-benzodiazepines, N-1-substituted with an N-isopropyl-N-phenylacetamide moiety, was synthesized and screened for CCK-A agonist activity. In vitro agonist activity on isolated guinea pig gallbladder along with in vivo induction of satiety following intraperitoneal administration in a rat feeding assay was demonstrated.
