Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2006 Oct 15;16(20):5414-9. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2006.07.055. Epub 2006 Aug 8.

Abstract

A series of metabolically stable adamantane amide 11beta-HSD1 inhibitors have been synthesized and biologically evaluated. These compounds exhibit excellent HSD1 potency and HSD2 selectivity and good pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profiles.
