Abstract: Compounds and pharmaceutical compositions of Formula (I) by blockade of the CB1 receptors via an inverse agonism mechanism which are useful for reducing body weight in mammals, cognitive impairment associated with schizophrenia, mitigating treatment emergent weight gain observed during treatment with antipsychotics and have increased bioavailability.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to compounds represented by the following structural formula, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts, solvates and hydrates thereof, R1 is a substituted or unsubstituted group selected from C1-C8 alkyl, aryl-C0-2-alkyl, heteroaryl-C0-2-alkyl, C3-C6 cycloalkylaryl-C0-2-alkyl or phenyl. W is O or S. R2 is H or a substituted or unsubstituted group selected from C1-C6 alkyl, C3-C6 cycloalkyl and heteroaryl. X is a C2-C5 alkylene linker wherein one carbon atom of the linker may be replaced with O, NH or S. Y is C, O, S, NH or a single bond. Furthermore, E is (CH2)nCOOH, wherein n is 0, 1, 2 or 3, or C(R3)(R4)A, wherein A is an acidic functional group such as carboxyl, carboxamide substituted or unsubstituted sulfonamide, or substituted or unsubstituted tetrazole. R3 is H, saturated or unsaturated C1-C5 alkyl, C1-C5 alkoxy.
