Stereospecific introduction of a methyl group to the indole-3-side chain enhanced activity in our tryptamine-derived series of GnRH receptor antagonists. Further improvements were achieved by variation of the bicyclic amino moiety of the tertiary amide and by adjustment of the tether length to a pyridine or pyridone terminus. These modifications culminated in analogue 24, which had oral activity in a rat model and acceptable oral bioavailability and half-life in dogs and monkeys.
