Novel histamine H3 receptor antagonists based on the 4-[(1H-imidazol-4-yl)methyl]piperidine scaffold

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2006 Jan 15;16(2):395-9. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2005.09.076. Epub 2005 Oct 21.

Abstract

We report the discovery of novel histamine H(3) receptor antagonists based on 4-[(1H-imidazol-4-yl)methyl]piperidine. The most potent compounds in the series (e.g., 7) result from the attachment of a substituted aniline amide to the main pharmacophore piperidine via a two-methylene linker.
