Novel carbazole derivatives as NPY Y1 antagonists

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2007 Feb 15;17(4):1043-6. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2006.11.034. Epub 2006 Nov 16.

Abstract

The synthesis of a series of carbazole derivatives and their SAR at the NPY Y1 receptor is described. Modulation of physicochemical properties by appropriate decoration led to the identification of a high-affinity NPY Y1 antagonist that shows high brain penetration and modest oral bioavailability.
