Abstract

Results from a medicinal chemistry approach aimed at replacing the quinoline ring system in the potent and selective human neurokinin-3 (hNK-3) receptor antagonists 1–4 of general formula I are discussed. The data give further insight upon the potential NK-3 pharmacophore. In particular, it is highlighted that both the benzene-condensed ring and the quinoline nitrogen are crucial determinants for optimal binding affinity to the hNK-3 ...
