Abstract

Bombesin receptor subtype 3 (BRS-3) is an orphan G-protein coupled receptor expressed primarily in the hypothalamus which plays a role in the onset of both diabetes and obesity. We report herein our progress made towards identifying a potent, selective bombesin receptor subtype-3 (BRS-3) agonist related to the previously described MK-77251 Chobanian et al. (2012) that would prevent atropisomerization through the increase of steric bulk at the C-2 position. This would thereby make clinical development of this class of compounds more cost effective by inhibiting racemization which can occur over long periods of time at room/elevated temperature.
