Abstract

Inhibition of 11beta-HSD1 has demonstrated potential in the treatment of various components of metabolic syndrome. We wish to report herein the discovery of novel azabicyclic sulfonamide based 11beta-HSD1 inhibitors. Highly potent compounds exhibiting inhibitory activities at both human and mouse 11beta-HSD1 were identified. Several compounds demonstrated significant in vivo activity in the mouse cortisone challenge assay.
