title: Discovery and SAR of 4-amino-2-biarylbutylurea MCH 1 receptor antagonists through solid-phase parallel synthesis.
abstract: -4-Amino-2-arylbutylbenzamides such as 1 were identified as micromolar MCH 1 receptor (MCH1R) antagonists via screening using a scintillation proximity assay based on [125I]-MCH binding to recombinant, human MCH1R. Subsequent lead optimization efforts using solid-phase parallel synthesis resulted in the defined structure-activity relationships and the identification of 4-amino-2-biarylbutylureas, such as 11g, as potent single digit nanomolar MCH1R antagonists.
