Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2005 Mar 15;15(6):1623-7.
The biological activity for a set of melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4R) agonists containing a piperazine core with an ortho-substituted aryl sulfonamide is described. Compounds from this set had binding and functional activities at MC4R less than 30 nM. The most selective compound in this series was > 25,000-fold more potent at MC4R than MC3R, and 490-fold more potent at MC4R than MC5R. This compound also reduced food intake after oral dosing at 25, 50, and 100 mg kg (-1) in fasted mice. |
