Abstract: The discovery and synthesis of a series of (dimethoxyphenoxy)alkylamino acetamides as orexin-2 receptor antagonists from a small-molecule combinatorial library using a high-throughput calcium mobilization functional assay (HEK293-human OX2-R cell line) is described. Active compounds show a good correlation between high-throughput single concentration screening data and measured IC(50)s. Specific examples exhibit IC(50) values of approximately 20 nM using human orexin A as the peptide agonist for the orexin-2 receptor.
