Tf. Walsh et al., Potent antagonists of gonadotropin releasing hormone receptors derived from quinolone-6-carboxamides, BIOORG MED, 10(5), 2000, pp. 443-447
SAR studies which focused upon the C-6 position of a recently described ser
ies of quinolone gonadotropin releasing hormone antagonists, are reported.
Synthetic access to diverse quinolone-6-carboxamides was achieved via the p
alladium-catalyzed amino-carbonylation reactions of iodide 4 with various a
mines. Amides related to 9y were especially potent, functional antagonists
of rat and human GnRH receptors. (C) 2000 Elsevier science Ltd. All rights
