    Abstract:
    Screening of our internal chemical collection against the neuropeptide Y5 (NPY Y5) receptor allowed the identification of a benzoxazine derivative 5f as a hit that showed moderate affinity (IC(50) = 300 nM). With the aim of improving the in vitro potency, a series of 2-benzoxazinone derivatives have been synthesized and tested for NPY Y5 activity. Most of the compounds were found to be potent and selective NPY Y5 antagonists having nanomolar binding affinities for the NPY Y5 receptor and showing functional antagonism in the forskolin-induced cyclic AMP test. Prelimminary studies in order to understand the structure-activity relationship were undertaken. Selected compounds were further evaluated for in vivo efficacy, affording the lead compound 2-[4-(8-methyl-2-oxo-4H-benzo[d][1,3]oxazin-1-yl)piperidin-1-yl]-N-(9-oxo-9H-fluoren-3-yl)acetamide 5p, which displayed in vivo activity reducing food intake in rodents.
