Melanin concentrating hormone (MCH) is an important mediator of energy homeostasis and plays role in several disorders such as obesity, stress, depression and anxiety. The synthesis and biological evaluation of novel benzimidazole derivatives as MCHR1 antagonists are described. The in vivo proof of principle for weight loss with a lead compound from this series is exemplified.

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.
