2-Arylindoles as gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonists: optimization of the tryptamine side chain
A series of 2-arylindoles containing novel heteroaromatic substituents on the tryptamine tether, based on compound 1, was prepared and evaluated for their ability to act as gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonists. Successful modifications of 1 included chain length variation (reduction) an...

Zusammenfassung: | A series of 2-arylindoles containing novel heteroaromatic substituents on the tryptamine tether, based on compound
1, was prepared and evaluated for their ability to act as gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonists. Successful modifications of
1 included chain length variation (reduction) and replacement of the pyridine with heteroaromatic groups. These alterations culminated in the discovery of compound
27kk which had excellent in vitro potency and oral efficacy in rodents.
A series of 2-arylindoles was prepared and evaluated for gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) activity. Compound
27kk was found to be an orally active GnRH antagonist. |
