Novel H3 receptor antagonists with improved pharmacokinetic profiles

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2008 Jul 15;18(14):4133-6. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2008.05.086. Epub 2008 May 24.

Abstract

A new series of H(3) antagonists derived from the natural product Conessine are presented. Several compounds from these new series retain the potency and selectivity of earlier diamine based analogs while exhibiting improved PK characteristics. One compound (3u) demonstrated functional antagonism of the H(3) receptor in an in vivo pharmacological model.
