Abstract :
Incorporation of substituted phenyl piperazine privileged structures into a known MC4 specific dipeptoid consensus sequence resulted in a series of potent (EC50=24 nM) and selective MC4-R agonists. We report the SAR of this series of compounds using in vitro cAMP functional assays in cells transfected with the MC4 or other melancortin receptors.
