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.

A series of substituted 2-butylbenzimidazoles bearing a biphenylylmethyl moiety at the 1-position was prepared via three synthetic routes and evaluated for angiotensin II (AII) receptor antagonistic activity (in vitro and in vivo). Binding affinity was determined using bovine adrenal cortical membrane. Substitution at the 4-, 5-, or 6-position reduced the affinity relative to that of the unsubstituted compound (13a). However, most of the compounds with a substituent at the 7-position showed binding affinity comparable to that of DuP 753 (losartan). In functional studies, a carboxyl group was found to be very important for antagonistic activity against AII. Comparison of 2-butyl-1-[[2'-(1H-tetrazol-5-yl)biphenyl-4-yl]methyl]-1H- benzimidazole-4-,-5-,-6-, and -7-carboxylic acids (15a-d) in an AII-induced rabbit aortic ring contraction assay clearly demonstrated the importance of the substitutional position of the carboxyl group. In an in vivo assay, oral administration of benzimidazole-7-carboxylic acids caused long-lasting inhibition of the AII-induced pressor response in rats. The optimum substituent at the 7-position of the benzimidazole ring was found to be a carboxyl or an ester group. The representative compound, 2-butyl-1-[[2'-(1H- tetrazol-5-yl)biphenyl-4-yl]methyl]-1H-benzimidazole-7-carboxylic acid (15d, CV-11194), inhibited the specific binding of [125I]AII to bovine adrenal cortical membrane with an IC50 value of 5.5 x 10-7 M. The AII-induced contraction of rabbit aortic strips was antagonized by CV-11194 (IC50 value, 5.5 x 10-11 M), while the compound had no effect on the contraction induced by norepinephrine or KCl. Orally administered CV-11194 at doses of 0.3-10 mg/kg dose-dependently inhibited the AII-induced pressor response in rats and dogs. CV-11194 at 1 mg/kg po reduced blood pressure in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). The three-dimensional molecular structure of CV- 11194 was determined by X-ray diffraction.
