Compounds of formula (I) are ligands of the melanin concentrating hormone-1 receptor (MCH-1 R), useful in the treatment of diseases responsive to modulation of melanin concentrating hormone (MCH) activity, for example feeding disorders and diseases for which obesity is a risk factor (I): wherein ring B is selected from specific substituted phenyl or benz-fused 5-membered N-containing heterocycles defined in the specification; R, is attached to a ring carbon of ring B, and represents hydrogen, F, Cl, or -OCH3; X is =CH- or =N-; L, is -CH2- or -CH2CH2- ; L2 is a bond, -CH2- or -CO-; R2 is H or C,-C3 alkyl, or -N(R2) L,- is selected from specific cyclic amino linker radicals as defined in the specification; ring A is selected from specific N- containing heterocyclic rings as defined in the specification.
