RESUMEN
Using the HIV-1 protease binding mode of MK-8718 and PL-100 as inspiration, a novel aspartate binding bicyclic piperazine sulfonamide core was designed and synthesized. The resulting HIV-1 protease inhibitor containing this core showed an 60-fold increase in enzyme binding affinity and a 10-fold increase in antiviral activity relative to MK-8718.
RESUMEN
SAR studies on amides, ureas, and vinylogous amides derived from pyrrolidine led to the discovery of several potent hNK(1) antagonists. One particular vinylogous amide (45b) had excellent potency, selectivity, pharmacokinetic profile, and functional activity in vivo. An in vivo rhesus macaque brain receptor occupancy PET study for compound 45b revealed an estimated Occ(90) approximately 300 ng/ml.

Structure-activity relationships of a 4-aminoquinoline MCH1R antagonist lead series were explored by synthesis of analogs with modifications at the 2-, 4-, and 6-positions of the original HTS hit. Improvements to the original screening lead included lipophilic groups at the 2-position and biphenyl, cyclohexyl phenyl, and hydrocinnamyl carboxamides at the 6-position. Modifications of the 4-amino group were not well tolerated.
