The CCK receptor binding data of N-substituted
anthranilic acid dimer derivatives (compounds 1–9) are
summarized in Table 8.
The present results indicate that indole-containing
derivatives, i.e. compounds 1–3, are the most potent
and selective within this series since they inhibit the

no affinity for CCK-B receptor. The best result was
obtained with compound 1 which has an IC50 of 2.3×
10−6 M, a value about tenfold lower than that of the
N-unsubstituted parent compound (compound 0) cho-
sen as reference.
On the contrary, all the phenyl derivatives, com-
pounds 4–8, exhibit a lower and similar affinity for
both receptors thus indicating a lack of selectivity.
Moreover, the structures considered — in terms of
phenyl ring substitution and/or distance from the an-
thranilic acid dimer template — do not have a substan-
tial effect on binding affinity.
