Abstract

Stearoyl-CoA desaturase 1 (SCD1) catalyzes the committed step in the biosynthesis of monounsaturated fatty acids from saturated, long-chain fatty acids. Studies with SCD1 knockout mice have established that these Animals are lean and protected from Leptin deficiency-induced and diet-induced obesity, with greater whole body Insulin sensitivity than wild-type Animals. In this work, we have discovered a series of potent, selective, orally bioavailable SCD1 inhibitors based on a known pyridazine carboxamide template. The representative lead inhibitor 28c also demonstrates excellent cellular activity in blocking the conversion of saturated long-chain fatty acid-CoAs (LCFA-CoAs) to monounsaturated LCFA-CoAs in HepG2 cells.
