Structure-Activity Relationships of Nonpeptide Neuropeptide Y Receptor Antagonists

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Handbook of Experimental Pharmacology ((HEP,volume 162))

Abstract

Reports in 1990 on some weakly to moderately active nonpeptides which were not originally designed for neuropeptide Y (NPY) receptors, followed by the discovery of the first highly potent and selective Y1 receptor antagonists— the (R)-argininamide BIBP 3226 and the benzamidine derivative SR 120819A—as well as raising hope for novel drug treatment of hypertension, obesity and metabolic diseases stimulated the search for NPY-blocking compounds. Most of the currently known nonpeptidic NPY antagonists are ligands of Y1 or Y5 receptors, whereas only one class of Y2 selective antagonists around the (S)-arginine derivative BIIE 0246 has been disclosed. Nonpeptidic ligands of the Y Y4 receptor are not known. In some cases the design of Y1 antagonists followed rational strategies considering amino acids which are essential for binding to Y1 and/or Y2 receptors according to results of a complete alanine scan of NPY. Typical Y1 antagonists (e.g., compounds of the argininamide, benzamidine, benzimidazole, indole and aminopyridine series) have one or two basic groups which—according to the working hypothesis—could mimic Arg33 and/ or Arg35 in NPY. Binding models derived for some compounds (e.g., BIBP 3226 and J-104870) based on investigations with Y1 receptor mutants suggest key interactions between the basic group(s) and acidic residues of the Y1 receptor protein, especially Asp287. Compared to Y1 antagonists the known Y5 antagonists are often based on hits from screening of libraries and show a considerably higher degree of structural diversity. Nevertheless many highly active Y5 antagonists represent a common structural pattern suggesting at least overlapping binding sites.
