A pyrazolo-pyrimidinone based series of growth hormone secretagogue receptor type 1a (GHS-R1a) antagonists and inverse agonists were identified using a scaffold hop from known quinazolinone GHS-R1a modulators. Lipophilicity was reduced to decrease hERG activity while maintaining GHS-R1a affinity. SAR exploration of a piperidine substituent was used to identify small cyclic groups as a functional switch from partial agonists to neutral antagonists and inverse agonists. A tool compound was identified which had good overall properties and sufficient oral plasma and CNS exposure to demonstrate reduced food intake in mice through a mechanism involving GHS-R1a.

Optimization of a series of constrained melanin-concentrating hormone receptor 1 (MCH R1) antagonists has provided compounds with potent and selective MCH R1 activity. Details of the optimization process are provided and the use of one of the compounds in
