Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2008 Apr 15;18(8):2536-9. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2008.03.059. Epub 2008 Mar 22.

Abstract

A novel series of N1 substituted tetrazole amides were prepared and showed to be potent growth hormone (GH) secretagogues. Among them, hydroxyl containing analog 31 displayed excellent in vivo activity by increasing plasma GH 10-fold in an anesthetized IV rat model.
