The design and synthesis of the high efficacy, non-peptide CCK1 receptor agonist PD170292.

The design, synthesis and biological actions of a novel, non-peptide CCK1 receptor agonist (PD 170292) which exhibits a similar pharmacological profile to the CCK analogue JMV180 is reported. PD 170292 was designed based on a consideration of the structures of a peptide based CCK1 receptor selective agonist and a peptoid CCK2 receptor selective antagonist.
