Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2010 Dec 1;20(23):7137-41. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2010.09.023. Epub 2010 Sep 17.

Abstract

Utilization of a tetrahydro-pyrimdoazepine core as a bioisosteric replacement for a piperazine-urea resulted in the discovery a novel series of potent antagonists of TRPV1. The tetrahydro-pyrimdoazepines have been identified as having good in vitro and in vivo potency and acceptable physical properties.
