Certain novel bridged piperidine derivatives are agonists of the human melanocortin receptor(s) and, in particular, are selective agonists of the human melanocortin-4 receptor (MC-4R). They are therefore useful for the treatment, control, or prevention of diseases and disorders responsive to the activation of (MC-4R), such as obesity, diabetes, sexual dysfunction, including erectile dysfunction and female sexual dysfunction. |
