Melanin-Concentrating Hormone Receptor 1 Antagonists Lacking an Aliphatic Amine: Synthesis and Structure–Activity Relationships of Novel 1-(Imidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-6-yl)pyridin-2(1H)-one Derivatives

Abstract: Aiming to discover melanin-concentrating hormone receptor 1 (MCHR1) antagonists with improved safety profiles, we hypothesized that the aliphatic amine employed in most antagonists reported to date could be removed if the bicyclic motif of the compound scaffold interacted with Asp123 and/or Tyr272 of MCHR1. We excluded aliphatic amines from our compound designs, with a cutoff value of pK(a) < 8, and explored aliphatic amine-free MCHR1 antagonists in a CNS-oriented chemical space limited by four descriptors (TP… Show more

“…Aside from these indirect actions on feeding, histamine was recently demonstrated to directly control the orexigenic melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) ( 142 ). Indeed, the MCH receptor antagonists are currently thought of as promising antiobesity agents ( 143 ). As MCH neurons express H-3, but not H-1 or H-2 receptors, it is likely that histamine inhibits MCH secretion via H-3 receptors.…”

“…To analyze the effect of TDCA/valine on MCH-regulated appetite and energy homeostasis in vivo, we made use of an MCHR1-I ( Igawa et al, 2016 ). Treatment with MCHR1-I in DIO-obese mice led to decreased food intake and subsequent weight loss ( Figure 5B ).…”
