Abstract: Optimization of our HTS hit 1, mainly focused on modification at the C-2 position of the benzimidazole core, is described. Elimination of the flexible and metabolically labile -S-CH(2)- part and utilization of less lipophilic pyridone substructure led to identification of novel NPY Y5 receptor antagonists 6, which have low to sub-nanomolar Y5 receptor binding affinity with improved CYP450 inhibition profiles, good solubilities and high metabolic stabilities.
