title: The discovery of azepane sulfonamides as potent 11beta-HSD1 inhibitors.
abstract: Discovery of a series of azepine sulfonamides as potent inhibitors of 11beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11beta-HSD1) is described. SAR studies at the 4-position of the azepane ring have resulted in the discovery of a very potent compound 30 which has an 11beta-HSD1 IC(50) of 3.0nM.
