title: MCH-R1 antagonists based on an arginine scaffold: SAR studies on the amino-terminus.
abstract: We have identified a novel series of potent MCH-R1 antagonists based on l-arginine. As predicted by computational methods, there was an activity dependence on the pi-electronic character of the aromatic systems corresponding to the amino-terminus of these molecules. These results have enhanced our understanding of the MCH-R1 receptor and the potential for a predictive homology model.
