Abstract

In the course of structural explorations around a series of potent CCK2 receptor antagonists, it was noted that simple N-methylation of the indolic NH in the parent molecule gave rise to behavior in vivo that was consistent with the compound acting as an agonist. Exploration in vitro confirmed this property, and it was shown that the agonist action could be blocked by the reference CCK2 receptor antagonist, L-365,260. Further examples of this type of ...
