摘要
A new class of melanocortin 4 receptor (MC4r) agonists was discovered from an unexpected sidereaction in which formaldehyde caused cyclization. These cyclophanes were found to be sub micromolar agonists of the MC1 and MC4 and were less potent on the MC3 and MC5 receptor. They were shown to compete with the peptidic antagonist SHU9119 for binding to the MC4 receptor. In an acute feeding study in Sprague Dawley rats, food intake was reduced more than 50% versus vehicle after 3 h at a dose of 1 mg/kg. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
