The 3-substituted benzazepinone, L-692,429 (compound 1), is the prototype compound of a novel class of compounds that stimulate release of growth hormone (GH). The molecule evolved from efforts to identify a non-peptide mimic of the growth hormone-releasing hexapeptide, GHRP-6. Compound 1 is prepared by sequential attachment of dimethyl-β-alanine and 2'- biphenylyltetrazole side chains to a chiral 3-aminobenzolactam nucleus. Comparison of the biological activity of 1 with the corresponding six- and eight-membered lactam analogs shows the seven-membered benzazepinone skeleton to be preferred. Molecular modeling of the structurally diverse GH secretagogues, L-692,429 and GHRP-6, was performed.
Benzo-fused lactams that promote the release of growth hormone

, (2008/06/13)
There are disclosed certain novel compounds identified as benzo-fused lactams which promote the release of growth hormone in humans and animals. This property can be utilized to promote the growth of food animals to render the production of edible meat products more efficient, and in humans, to increase the stature of those afflicted with a lack of a normal secretion of natural growth hormone. Growth promoting compositions containing such benzo-fused lactams as the active ingredient thereof are also disclosed.
