BICYCLIC NITROGEN-CONTAINING HETEROCYCLIC COMPOUNDS FOR USE AS STEAROYL COA DESATURASE INHIBITORS

摘要

The present invention discloses bicyclic nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds for use as inhibitors of stearoyl-CoA desaturase. The compounds are useful in treating and/or preventing various human diseases, mediated by stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD) enzymes, especially diseases related to abnormal lipid levels, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, obesity, oily skin conditions, metabolic syndrome, and the like.
