Novel and highly potent histamine H3 receptor ligands. Part 2: exploring the cyclohexylamine-based series

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2011 Sep 15;21(18):5384-8. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2011.06.102. Epub 2011 Jun 28.

Abstract

Synthesis and biological evaluation of novel and potent cyclohexylamine-based histamine H3 receptor inverse agonists are described. Compounds in this newly identified series exhibited subnanomolar binding affinities for human receptor and no significant interaction with hERG channel. One derivative (10t) demonstrated enhanced in vivo efficiency and preferential brain distribution, both properties suitable for potential clinical evaluation.
