Abstract :
The discovery of a novel, achiral pyridine class of potent and orally active neurokinin-1 (NK1) receptor antagonists is described. The evaluation of this class is briefly outlined, leading to the identification of netupitant 21 and befetupitant 29, two new proprietary chemical entities with high affinity and excellent CNS penetration.
