Abstract: A series of spiropiperidine carbazoles were synthesized and evaluated as MCHR2 antagonists using a FLIPR assay. The pharmacokinetic properties of selected compounds have also been studied. This effort led to the discovery of potent and specific MCHR2 antagonists. Compound 38 demonstrated good pharmacokinetic properties across rat, beagle dog and rhesus monkey and had a favorable selectivity profile against a number of other receptors. These MCHR2 antagonists are considered appropriate tool compounds for study of the function of MCHR2 in vivo.
