Abstract
The present invention relates to a use of a triazole compound as a ghrelin receptor agonist and, more specifically, to a composition for preventing or treating diseases mediated by the ghrelin receptor, the composition being of a triazole compound which strongly binds to the ghrelin receptor with very high specificity. The compound provided by the present invention exhibits a strong binding force to the ghrelin receptor with very high specificity, and thus may be very usefully employed for preventing or developing a therapeutic agent for diseases mediated by the ghrelin receptor.
