摘要:
The present invention relates to the use of quinoline compounds for the preparation of a pharmaceutical and/or a cosmetic composition for the treatment, prophylaxis and/or diagnosis of a condition caused by or involving a melanin-concentrating hormone. The invention also relates to novel quinoline compounds per se. The quinoline compounds have been found to interact with a melanin-concentrating hormone receptor, a MCH receptor. The compounds have modulating activity on the MCH receptor such as e.g. antagonistic, agonistic or allosteric activity and are useful for medicinal or cosmetic purposes such as, e.g. in the treatment or prevention of feeding disorders like obesity, metabolic syndrome, Type II diabetes, bulimia, etc. or in the treatment or prevention of depression.

摘要:
A pseudo-sequence method for comparing 7TM receptors with respect to the physicochemical properties of their binding sites, the method comprising the steps of: (i) optionally, aligning part of or all of the amino acid sequence of the first 7TM receptor with part of or all or the amino acid sequence of the one or more further 7TM receptors, (ii) selecting, in a sequential or non-sequential order, at the most 12 amino acid residues per helix and/or extracellular loops, which are involved in one or more binding sites of each 7TM receptor. (iii) forming a pseudo-sequence comprising at the most 50 amino acid residues from the selected sequential or non-sequential amino acid residues, (iv) for each 7TM receptor assigning one or more physicochemical descriptors to the amino acid residues of the selected amino acid pseudo-sequence involved in one or more binding sites, (v) optionally, for each 7TM receptor mathematically manipulating the physicochemical descriptors of step (iv) to obtain a simplified measure of the physicochemical properties of the binding site. (vi) for each 7TM receptor generating a similarity score as defined herein by comparing the physicochemical descriptor or, if relevant, the simplified measure for the first 7TM receptor with the physicochemical descriptors or, if relevant, the simplified measures for the one or further 7TM receptors, (vii) optionally, ranking the 7TM receptors with respect to the physicochemical properties of their binding sites according to the similarity scores obtained in step vi)

摘要:
Compounds of the invention act as inverse agonist ghrelin receptors. Some of the compounds of the invention may have both inverse agonistic and antagonistic properties as they both decrease or eliminate the constitutive activity of he ghrelin receptor and block the effect of ghrelin. Other preferred compounds of the invention have inverse agonistic properties but have little or no antagonistic activity. The compounds are suitable for medical and/or cosmetic use in connection with modulation of feeding behaviors, body composition and reduction of body mass. The invention also relates to methods for identifying inverse agonists for the ghrelin receptor and for monitoring the further development of such compounds.
