Recently, we discovered 3-aminomethylquinoline derivative 1, a selective, highly potent, centrally acting, and orally bioavailable human MCH receptor 1 (hMCHR1) antagonist, that inhibited food intake in F344 rats with diet-induced obesity (DIO). Subsequent investigation of 1 was discontinued because 1 showed potent hERG K+ channel inhibition in a patch-clamp study. To decrease hERG K+ channel inhibition, experiments with ligand-based drug designs based on 1 and a docking study were conducted. Replacement of the terminal p-fluorophenyl group with a cyclopropylmethoxy group, methyl group introduction on the benzylic carbon at the 3-position of the quinoline core, and employment of a [2-(acetylamino)ethyl]amino group as the amine portion eliminated hERG K+ channel inhibitory activity in a patch-clamp study, leading to the discovery of N-{3-[(1R)-1-{[2-(acetylamino)ethyl]amino} ethyl]-8-methylquinolin-7-yl}-4-(cyclopropylmethoxy)benzamide (R)-10h. The compound (R)-10h showed potent inhibitory activity against hMCHR1 and dose-dependently suppressed food intake in a 2-day study on DIO-F344 rats. Furthermore, practical chiral synthesis of (R)-10h was performed to determine the molecule's absolute configuration.
