GHRELIN O-ACYLTRANSFERASE INHIBITORS

This invention relates to novel compounds according to Formula (I) which are inhibitors of ghrelin O-acyltransferase (GOAT), to pharmaceutical compositions containing them, to processes for their preparation, and to their use in therapy for the treatment of metabolic disorders (e.g. Prader-Willi syndrome, metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance, impaired glucose tolerance, prediabetes, diabetes mellitus (e.g., type II diabetes mellitus), dysglycemia (e.g., hyperglycemia), obesity (e.g., obesity caused by Prader-Willi syndrome), increased adiposity, poor glycemic control, hyperphagia, impaired satiety, dyslipidemia (e.g., atherogenic dyslipidemia), hepatic steatosis (e.g., non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (e.g., non-alcoholic steatohepatitis))), psychiatric disorders (e.g., eating disorders (e.g., bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, night-time eating syndrome), substance related disorders (e.g., addiction disorders (e.g., alcohol, smoking, overeating, or use of illicit drugs))), as well as disorders related to or complications of metabolic or psychiatric disorders (e.g., cardiovascular diseases (e.g., diabetic heart disease (e.g., diabetic cardiomyopathy), heart failure, or hypertension), ischemia (e.g., myocardial ischemia, cerebral ischemia, ischemic stroke), or BMI-related cancers (e.g., pancreatic cancer, gallbladder cancer, esophageal cancer, colorectal cancer, breast cancer etc.).
