Ce. Augelliszafran et al., SAR STUDY OF THE INDOLE MOIETY OF CI-988, A POTENT AND SELECTIVE CCK-B ANTAGONIST, Bioorganic & medicinal chemistry letters, 7(15), 1997, pp. 2009-2014
Due to the interesting pharmacological activity observed for CI-988, a
potent and selective CCK-B receptor antagonist, we have continued to
study the SAR of this antagonist. This particular study examines the i
mportance of the indole moiety for binding affinity. The synthesis and
receptor binding affinity for analogs containing functionalized indol
e derivatives and replacing the indole with various heterocycles are r
eported. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
