Abstract

After the CB1 receptor antagonist SR141716 (rimonabant) was previously reported to modulate food intake, CB1 antagonism has been considered as a new therapeutic target for the treatment of obesity. Several series of urea, carbamate, amide, sulfonamide and oxalamide derivatives based on 1-benzhydrylpiperazine scaffold were synthesized and tested for CB1 receptor binding affinity. The SAR studies to optimize the CB1 binding ...
