The V1a receptor has emerged as an attractive target for a range of indications including Raynaud's disease and dysmenorrhoea. As part of an effort to discover a new class of orally active V1a antagonist, we optimised a highly lipophilic, metabolically unstable lead into a range of potent, selective and metabolically stable V1a antagonists. In this communication, we demonstrate the series-dependent effect of limiting the number of rotatable bonds in order to decrease Cytochrome P450-mediated metabolism. This effort culminated in the discovery of PF-184563, a novel, selective V1a antagonist with excellent in vitro and in vivo properties.
