Abstract
A series of pyrrolopyridinones was designed and synthesized as constrained analogs of the pyrazole CB-1 antagonist rimonabant. Certain examples exhibited very potent hCB-1 receptor binding affinity and functional antagonism with Ki and Kb values below 10 nM, and with high selectivity for CB-1 over CB-2 (>100-fold). A representative analog was established to cause significant appetite suppression and reduction in body weight gain in industry-standard rat models used to develop new therapeutics for obesity.Entities:
