We report here the design, synthesis, and pharmacological properties of a series of compounds related to tranylcypromine (9), which itself was discovered as a lead compound in a high-throughput screening campaign. Starting from 9, which shows modest activity as a 5-HT2C agonist, a series of 1-aminomethyl-2- phenylcyclopropanes was investigated as 5-HT2C agonists through iterative structural modifications. Key pharmacophore feature of this new class of ligands is a 2-aminomethyl-trans-cyclopropyl side chain attached to a substituted be zene ring. Among the tested compounds, several were potent and efficacious 5-HT2C receptor agonists with selectivity over both 5-HT2A and 5-HT2B receptors in functional assays. The most promising compound is 37, with 120- and 14-fold selectivity over 5-HT 2A and 5-HT2B, respectively (EC50) 585, 65, and 4.8 nM at the 2A, 2B, and 2C subtypes, respectively). In animal studies, compound 37 (10-60 mg/kg) decreased immobility time in the mouse forced swim test.

Based on NN703, low molecular weight growth hormone secretagouges (GHSs) with a reduced number of hydrogen binding sites were designed by removal of the C-terminal amide group. The compounds were highly potent in combination with high efficacy in a rat pituitary cell assay, being characterized with EC50 values down to 0.8 nM. Selected compounds were tested in in vivo animal models. The oral bioavailability in dogs was 16-44%. Also, the ED50 values of the compounds were determined both in dog and swine.
