Abstract
Certain novel piperazine urea derivatives are agonists of the human melanocortin-4 receptor (MC-4R) and, in particular, are receptor-subtype selective agonists of MC-4R. They are useful for the treatment, control, or prevention of diseases and disorders responsive to the activation of MC-4R, such as obesity and diabetes.
