Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2007 Dec 1;17(23):6584-7. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2007.09.067. Epub 2007 Sep 25.

Abstract

High throughput screening combined with efficient datamining and parallel synthesis led to the discovery of a novel series of indolines showing potent in vitro ghrelin receptor agonist activity and acceleration of gastric emptying in rats.
