Synthesis and structure-activity relationship of N-(3-azabicyclo[3.1.0]hex-6-ylmethyl)-5-(2-pyridinyl)-1,3-thiazol-2-amines derivatives as NPY Y5 antagonists.

A novel class of small molecule NPY Y5 antagonists based around an azabicyclo[3.1.0]hexane scaffold was identified through modification of a screening hit. Structure-activity relationships and efforts undertaken to achieve a favourable pharmacokinetic profile in rat are described. 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
