, (2010/04/30)
The present invention provides a method for the treatment of chemical substance abuse by selectively inhibiting ghrelin activity in humans comprising administering to a human in need thereof a therapeutically-effective amount of a ghrelin receptor ligand (GHS-RL). The ghrelin receptor ligand (GHS-RL) can be selected from the group consisting of a ghrelin receptor antagonist (GHS-RA), a ghrelin receptor inverse agonist (GHS-RIA), and a ghrelin receptor partial agonist (GHS-RPA). More specifically, the invention provides a method for treating alcohol related disorders in humans comprising administering to a human in need thereof a therapeutically-effective amount of a compound which is a ghrelin receptor ligand (GHS-RL), such as a ghrelin receptor antagonist (GHS-RA), a ghrelin receptor inverse agonist (GHS-RIA) and a ghrelin receptor partial agonist (GHS-RPA).

Ghrelin, a gut-derived orexigenic hormone, is an endogenous ligand of the growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHS-R). Centrally administered ghrelin has been shown to cause hunger and increase food intake in rodents. Inhibition of ghrelin actions with ghrelin antibody, peptidyl GHS-R antagonists, and antisense oligonucleosides resulted in weight loss and food intake decrease in rodents. Here we report the effects of GHS-R antagonists, some of which were potent, selective, and orally bioavailable. A structure-activity relationship study led to the discovery of 8a, which was effective in decreasing food intake and body weight in several acute rat studies.
