Ho. Ok et al., BENZOLACTAM GROWTH-HORMONE SECRETAGOGUES - REPLACEMENT OF THE C-3 AMIDE BOND IN L-692,429, Bioorganic & medicinal chemistry letters, 6(24), 1996, pp. 3051-3056
The synthesis and structure-activity relationships of various C-3 amid
e bond modifications in the novel nonpeptidyl growth hormone secretago
gue L-692,429 are described. Several C-3 amide surrogates were prepare
d and the urea moiety was found to exhibit growth hormone releasing ac
tivity similar to that observed with L-692,429. Copyright (C) 1996 Els
