Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2008 Feb 15;18(4):1402-6. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2008.01.010. Epub 2008 Jan 8.

Abstract

This paper describes the lead optimization of a new series of potent, selective, orally bioavailable, brain-penetrant MCH-1 receptor antagonists. A major focus of the work was to achieve a selectivity profile appropriate for in vivo efficacy studies and safety.
