Abstract
The structure-activity relationship studies on a series of tetralin carboxamide growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHS-R) antagonists are discussed. It was found that certain 2-alkoxycarbonylamino substituted tetralin carboxamides are potent, selective, and orally bioavailable GHS-R antagonists.
