Abstract
A novel series of potent and selective non-peptide neuropeptide Y (NPY) Y1 receptor antagonists, having benzazepine nuclei, have been designed, synthesized, and evaluated for activity. Chemical modification of the R(1) and R(3) substituents in structure 1 (Chart 1) yields several compounds that show high affinity for the Y1 receptor (K(i) values of less than 10 nM). SAR studies revealed that introduction of an isopropylurea group at R(1) and a 3-(benzo-condensed-urea) group, 3-(fluorophenylurea) group, or a 3-(N-(4-hydroxyphenyl)guanidine) group at R(3) in structure 1 afforded potent and subtype-selective NPY Y1 receptor antagonists. 3-(3-(Benzothiazol-6-yl)ureido)-1-N-(3-(N'-(3-isopropylureido++ +))benzyl )-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-1-benzazepin-2-one (21), which was one of the most potent derivatives, competitively inhibited specific [(125)I]peptide YY (PYY) binding to Y1 receptors in human neuroblastoma SK-N-MC cells (K(i) = 5.1 nM). 21 not only inhibited the Y1 receptor-mediated increase in cytosolic free Ca(2+) concentration in SK-N-MC cells but also antagonized the Y1 receptor-mediated inhibitory effect of peptide YY on gastrin-induced histamine release in rat enterochromaffin-like cells. 21 showed no significant affinity in 17 receptor binding assays including Y2, Y4, and Y5 receptors.
