We report the structure-activity relationships, design, and synthesis of the novel cannabinoid type 1 (CB1) receptor antagonist 3a (CP-945,598). Compound 3a showed subnanomolar potency at human CB1 receptors in binding (Ki= 0.7 nM) and functional assays (K i = 0.12 nM). In vivo, compound 3a reversed cannabinoid agonist-mediated responses, reduced food intake, and increased energy expenditure and fat oxidation in rodents. The endocannabinoid system (ECS a), and speci?cally the cannabinoid type 1 (CB1) receptor, plays a pivotal role in energy homeostasis.1-3 As such, stimulation of the ECS promotes food intake and energy storage and may be chronically overactive in obese subjects.4-7 In contrast, blockade of the CB 1 receptor decreases food intake and increases energy expenditure, leading to a reduction in body weight.8-11 It was hoped that CB 1 ceptor antagonists might provide effective therapy options for the management of metabolic disorders, such as obesity. Unfortunately, several CB1 receptor inverse agonists/antagonists were recently withdrawn from clinical development including the diarylpyrazole rimonabant12 1 (SR141716A) and the acyclic amide taranabant132 (MK-0364). Herein, we describe the design strategies that led to the identi?cation of a series of purine derivatives as CB1 receptor antagonists, and the optimization of PK properties that resulted in the discovery of the orally active 3a (CP-945,598), a novel, potent, and selective CB1 receptor antagonist, recently evaluated in phase 3 clinical trials for weight management.
