A new series of substituted oxygenated heterocycles and thio-analogues were synthesized and evaluated as melatonin receptor ligands. The replacement of the indolic moiety of melatonin by heterocyclic skeleton such as 1,4- benzodioxin, 2,3-dihydro-1,4-benzodioxin, chroman, 2,3-dihydro-1,4- benzoxathiin, thiochroman, carrying the amidic chain on the aromatic ring, leads to compounds showing a weak affinity for melatonin receptors, except for the compounds 1cb and 1hb.
