Abstract

We report the synthesis of and binding to the two subtypes of mouse thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) receptors, TRH-R1 and TRH-R2, of several 1-(phenyl) isoquinoline carboxamide analogues. These analogues showed a degree of selectivity for binding at TRH-R2. These are the first ligands reported that show selective binding to these receptors.
