Abstract: Optimization of a lead thiazole amide MF-152 led to the identification of potent bicyclic heteroaryl SCD1 inhibitors with good mouse pharmacokinetic profiles. In a view to target the liver for efficacy and to avoid SCD1 inhibition in the skin and eyes where adverse effects were previously observed in rodents, representative systemically-distributed SCD1 inhibitors were converted into liver-targeting SCD1 inhibitors.
