The present invention pertains generally to the field of therapeutic compounds. More specifically the present invention pertains to certain (4-phenyl-piperidin-1-yl)- [5-(1 H-pyrazol-4-yl)-thiophen-3-yl]-methanone compounds that, inter alia, inhibit 11 β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11 β-HSD1 ). The present invention also pertains to pharmaceutical compositions comprising such compounds, and the use of such compounds and compositions, both in vitro and in vivo, to inhibit 1 1 β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1; to treat disorders that are ameliorated by the inhibition of 11 β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1; to treat the metabolic syndrome, which includes disorders such as type 2 diabetes and obesity, and associated disorders including insulin resistance, hypertension, lipid disorders and cardiovascular disorders such as ischaemic (coronary) heart disease; to treat CNS disorders such as mild cognitive impairment and early dementia, including Alzheimer's disease; etc.

The invention provides a compound of the formula (I) or a salt, solvate, tautomer or N-oxide thereof for use in the treatment or prophylaxis of a disease state or condition mediated by protein kinase A and/or protein kinase B, wherein the ring Q is a benzene ring; J2-J1 is N=CR7 or R1aN-CO; G is OH or NR5R6; E is CONR7, NR7CO, C(R8)=C(R8) or (X)m(CR8R8a)n where X is O, S or NR7; provided that when J2-J1 is R1aN-CO, E is other than NR7CO; m and n are each 0 or 1, where m + n = 1 or 2; A is a bond and R4 and R4a are absent, or A is a saturated optionally substituted C1-7 hydrocarbon linker group having a maximum chain length of 5 atoms extending between E and G, one carbon atom in the linker group A being optionally replaced by O or N; R1,Rla, R2, and R3 are each H; halogen; C1-6 hydrocarbyl optionally substituted by halogen, OH or C1-2 alkoxy; CN; CONHR8; NH2; NHCOR10 or NHCONHR10; R4 is H or C1-4 alkyl; R4a is H, C1-4 alkyl or a group R9; R5 and R6 are each selected from H, R9 and C1-4 hydrocarbyl optionally substituted by halogen, C1-2 alkoxy or R9;or NR5R6 forms a saturated 4-7 membered monocyclic heterocyclic group; R7 is H or C1-4 alkyl; R8 and R8a each H or saturated C1-4 hydrocarbyl optionally substituted by fluorine; R9is a monocyclic or bicyclic carbocyclic or heterocyclic group containing up to 3 ring heteroatoms selected from N, O and S; or R4, R4a and A together form a saturated monocyclic 4-7 membered heterocycle; or NR5R6, R4 and A form a saturated 4-7 membered monocyclic heterocycle; or R4,together with R7 or R8 and A and E form a 4-7 membered saturated monocyclic heterocycle; or NR5R6 and R7 or R8 together with A and E form a 4-7 membered saturated monocyclic heterocycle; and R10 is optionally substituted phenyl or benzyl.

Synthetic and natural peptides that act as nonselective melanocortin receptor agonists have been found to be anorexigenic and to stimulate erectile activity. We report the design and development of 1, a potent, selective (1184-fold vs MC3R, 350-fold vs MC5R), small-molecule agonist of the MC4 receptor. Pharmacological testing confirms the food intake lowering effects of MC4R agonism and suggests another role for the receptor in the stimulation of erectile activity.
