ACS Med Chem Lett . 2014 Jun; 4(1):46-51. PMID: 24900562
Herein, we describe the discovery of inhibitors of norepinephrine (NET) and dopamine (DAT) transporters with reduced activity relative to serotonin transporters (SERT). Two compounds, 8b and 21a, along with nomifensine...

Eur J Pharmacol . 2010 Sep; 649(1-3):59-63. PMID: 20854803
The peptide corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) binds to the CRF₁ receptor via a two-domain mechanism such that the extracellular domain (ECD) of the receptor captures the CRF's C-terminus to facilitate the...

Yu J, Mathisen D, Burdette D, Brown D, Becker C, Aharony D
Drug Metab Dispos . 2009 Oct; 38(1):46-60. PMID: 19812352
8-Amino-2-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline maleate (nomifensine), an antidepressant drug, was withdrawn from the market because of increased incidence of hemolytic anemia, as well as kidney and liver toxicity. Although the nature of the...

Edwards P, Albert J, Sylvester M, Aharony D, Andisik D, Callaghan O, et al.
J Med Chem . 2007 Nov; 50(24):5912-25. PMID: 17985862
Fragment-based lead generation has led to the discovery of a novel series of cyclic amidine-based inhibitors of beta-secretase (BACE-1). Initial fragment hits with an isocytosine core having millimolar potency were...

Congreve M, Aharony D, Albert J, Callaghan O, Campbell J, Carr R, et al.
J Med Chem . 2007 Feb; 50(6):1124-32. PMID: 17315857
Fragment-based lead discovery has been successfully applied to the aspartyl protease enzyme beta-secretase (BACE-1). Fragment hits that contained an aminopyridine motif binding to the two catalytic aspartic acid residues in...

Ohnmacht C, Albert J, Bernstein P, Rumsey W, Masek B, Dembofsky B, et al.
Bioorg Med Chem . 2004 Apr; 12(10):2653-69. PMID: 15110847
Previously we reported on the synthesis and properties of a series of highly potent piperidinyl 2-subsituted-3-cyano-1-naphthamide NK1 antagonists that includes 3 and 4. Here we report our efforts to alleviate...

Albert J, Ohnmacht C, Bernstein P, Rumsey W, Aharony D, Alelyunas Y, et al.
J Med Chem . 2004 Jan; 47(3):519-29. PMID: 14736234
We have previously described a series of antagonists that showed high potency and selectivity for the NK(1) receptor. However, these compounds also had the undesirable property of existing as a...

J Med Chem . 2002 Aug; 45(18):3972-83. PMID: 12190319
Through optimization of compounds based on the dual NK(1)/NK(2) antagonist ZD6021, it was found that alteration of two key regions could modulate the balance of NK(1) and NK(2) potency. Substitution...
