Pontillo J, Wu D, Ching B, Hudson S, Genicot M, Gao Y, et al.
Bioorg Med Chem Lett . 2008 Oct; 18(23):6151-5. PMID: 18954981
The design synthesis and SAR of a series of chiral ring-constrained norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors with improved physicochemical properties is described. Typical compounds are potent (IC(50)s<10 nM), selective against the other...

Chen C, Chen Y, Pontillo J, Guo Z, Huang C, Wu D, et al.
Bioorg Med Chem Lett . 2008 Apr; 18(11):3301-5. PMID: 18442910
Incorporation of a carboxylic acid into a series of uracil derivatives as hGnRH-R antagonists resulted in a significant reduction of CYP3A4 inhibitory activity. Highly potent hGnRH antagonists with low CYP3A4...

Tran J, Arellano M, Fleck B, Pontillo J, Marinkovic D, Tucci F, et al.
Med Chem . 2008 Jan; 4(1):67-74. PMID: 18220971
A series of piperazinephenethylamines were synthesized to study the contribution of a basic amine to binding affinity at the melanocortin-4 receptor. Several potent compounds from this series possessed subnanomolar K(i)...

Tran J, Tucci F, Jiang W, Marinkovic D, Chen C, Arellano M, et al.
Bioorg Med Chem . 2007 Jun; 15(15):5166-76. PMID: 17544282
A series of pyrrolidinones derived from phenylalanines were synthesized as potent antagonists of the human melanocortin-4 receptor. These compounds showed high potencies and selectivities, and several of them had good...

Chen C, Tran J, Jiang W, Tucci F, Arellano M, Wen J, et al.
Bioorg Med Chem Lett . 2006 Jul; 16(18):4800-3. PMID: 16824757
A series of alpha-benzylpropionylpiperazines were synthesized and tested as antagonists of the melanocortin-4 receptor. In addition to its high potency and selectivity, R-11a had desirable pharmacokinetic properties including high brain...
