摘要
2-(2-Amino-2-methyl-propionylamino)-5-phenyl-pentanoic acid {1-[1-(4-methoxy-phenyl)-1-methyl-2-oxo-2-pyrrolidin-1-yl-ethyll-lH-imidazol-4-yl}-amide (LY444711, 6) is an orally active ghrelin agonist that binds with high affinity to and is a potent activator of the growth hormone secretagogue receptor la (GHS-R1a) receptor. In rat models of feeding behavior and pharmacology, 6 creates a positive energy balance and induces adiposity by stimulating food consumption and sparing fat utilization. As an orally active ghrelin agonist, 6 represents a new pharmacological tool to investigate the orexigenic role of ghrelin in regulating energy homeostasis. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd.
