Synthesis and structural activity relationship of 11beta-HSD1 inhibitors with novel adamantane replacements

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2006 Oct 15;16(20):5408-13. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2006.07.062. Epub 2006 Aug 4.

Abstract

A series of structurally novel and metabolically stable bridged bicyclic carbocycle and heterocycle adamantane replacements have been synthesized and biologically evaluated. Several of these compounds exhibit excellent human and mouse 11beta-HSD1 potency and 11beta-HSD2 selectivity.
