Biochem/physiol Actions

BMS-193885 is a potent, selective Y1 antagonist that is active in both acute and chronic animal models of food intake. Although it is active in vivo, it is not orally bioavailable due to poor intestinal absorption, so it is not being pursued for pharmaceutical development. BMS-193885 has been used as a pre-clinical proof of concept tool for showing efficacy of Y1 antagonism in treating obesity.
