Abstract

Replacement of the pentyl chain on our original bicyclo[2.2.2]octyltriazole leads 1 and 2 has led to the discovery that heteroaryl substituted bicyclo[2.2.2]octyltriazoles are potent and selective 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type I (11β-HSD1) inhibitors with excellent pharmacokinetic profiles.
