Structure-activity relationship studies on tetralin carboxamide growth hormone secretagogue receptor antagonists

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2005 Apr 1;15(7):1825-8. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2005.02.026.

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.
