Abstract

Replacement of the 3-carbonylaminopiperidine substitutent with a "click" 4-[N-(4-fluorobutyl)-(1,2,3-triazolyl)] group in Rimonabant-type pyrazoles produced a novel class of nanomolar CB1 receptor ligands. Molecule 1d is the most promising lead with a Ki = 23 nM for CB1, which is very close to that displayed by Rimonabant (SR141716), and fairly good CB1/CB2 selectivity (Ki CB2/Ki CB1 = 35.5), thus representing a promising candidate for [18F]radiolabeling and PET Imaging studies of the CB1 receptor.
