5-HT2C agonists have shown efficacy in limiting food consumption and thus may serve as an important drug class in combating obesity. We describe the design and synthesis of a novel tricyclic single-nitrogen scaffold that was used to produce 5-HT2C agonists. SAR was developed around this chemotype and compounds were identified that were potent (Ki<15 nM) and selective relative to other 5-HT2 receptors. The most promising compound displayed a good pharmacokinetic profile in multiple animal species, and was efficacious in an acute feeding study in rats.
