Abstract

A series of structurally novel stearoyl-CoA desaturase-1 (SCD-1) inhibitors has been identified by optimizing a hit from our corporate library. Preliminary structure–activity relationship (SAR) studies led to the discovery of the highly potent and orally bioavailable thiazole-based SCD-1 inhibitor, 3-(2-hydroxyethoxy)-4-methoxy-N-[5-(3- trifluoromethylbenzyl) thiazol-2-yl] benzamide (23a).
