Highly potent and selective small molecule neuropeptide Y Y2 receptor antagonists are reported. The systematic SAR exploration of a hit molecule N-(4-ethoxyphenyl)-4-[hydroxy(diphenyl)methyl]piperidine-1-carbothioamide, identified from HTS, led to the discovery of highly potent NPY Y2 antagonists 16 (CYM 9484) and 54 (CYM 9552) with IC50 values of 19 nM and 12 nM respectively.

Strongly basic groups such as guanidine moieties are crucial structural elements, but they compromise the drug-likeness of numerous biologically active compounds, including ligands of G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). As part of a project focused on the search for guanidine bioisosteres, argininamide-type neuropeptideY (NPY) Y2 receptor (Y2R) antagonists related to BIIE0246 were synthesized. Starting from ornithine derivatives, NG-acylated argininamides were obtained by guanidinylation with tailor-made mono-Boc-protected N-acyl-S-methylisothioureas. The compounds were investigated for Y2R antagonism (calcium assays), Y2R affinity, and NPY receptor subtype selectivity (flow cytometric binding assays). Most of the NG-substituted (S)-argininamides showed Y2R antagonistic activities and binding affinities similar to those of the parent compound, whereas NG-acylated or -carbamoylated analogues with a terminal amine were superior (Y2R: Ki and KB values in the low nanomolar range). This demonstrates that the basicity of the compounds, although 4-5 orders of magnitude lower than that of guanidines, is sufficient to form key interactions with acidic amino acids of the Y2R. The acylguanidines bind with high affinity and selectivity to Y2R over the Y1, Y4, and Y5 receptors. As derivatization of the amino group is tolerated, these compounds can be considered building blocks for the preparation of versatile fluorescent and radiolabeled pharmacological tools for invitro studies of the Y2R. The results support the concept of bioisosteric guanidine-acylguanidine exchange as a broadly applicable approach to retain pharmacological activity despite decreased basicity.

A series of 70 triazine derivatives have been synthesized and tested for their capacity to modulate multidrug resistance (MDR) in DC-3F/AD and KB-A1 tumor cells in vitro, in comparison with verapamil (VRP), a calcium channel antagonist currently used in therapy as an antihypertensive drug, which also shows MDR modulating activity.Among the 12 selected compounds, 16 (S9788) showed high MDR reversing properties in vitro (300- and 6-fold VRP at 5μM in DC-3F/AD and KB-A1 cells, respectively) and induced a strong accumulation of adriamycin.The relationship between the increase of ADR accumulation and the fold reversal induced by these compounds and their lack of effects on the sensitive DC-3F cells suggest that they act mainly by inhibiting the P-glycoprotein (Pgp) catalyzed efflux of cytotoxic agents, as already described for a majority of MDR modulators.In vivo, in association with the antitumor drug vincristine (0.25 mg/kg), 16 (100 mg/kg) increased the T/C by 39percent in mice bearing the resistant tumor cell line P388/VCR.According to these interesting properties, 16 was selected for a clinical development because it is more bioavailable than 34, even though it was less active.
