Abstract
A novel series of substituted quinoline analogs were designed and synthesized as potent and selective melanin concentrating hormone (MCH) antagonists. These analogs show potent (nM) activity (12a-k) with a moderate selectivity. Conversely, the conformationally constrained thienopyrimidinone analogs (18a-g) showed improved activity in MCH-1R and selectivity over 5HT2C.
