Abstract
SAR studies on amides, ureas, and vinylogous amides derived from pyrrolidine led to the discovery of several potent hNK1 antagonists. One particular vinylogous amide (45b) had excellent potency, selectivity, pharmacokinetic profile, and functional activity in vivo. An in vivo rhesus macaque brain receptor occupancy PET study for compound 45b revealed an estimated Occ90 ∼ 300 ng/ml.
