Discovery of highly potent and selective orexin 1 receptor antagonists (1-SORAs) suitable for in vivo interrogation of orexin 1 receptor pharmacology.

Abstract:

:While a correlation between blockade of the orexin 2 receptor (OX2R) with either a dual orexin receptor antagonist (DORA) or a selective orexin 2 receptor antagonist (2-SORA) and a decrease of wakefulness is well established, less is known about selective blockade of the orexin 1 receptor (OX1R). Therefore, a highly selective orexin 1 antagonist (1-SORA) with suitable properties to allow in vivo interrogation of OX1R specific pharmacology in preclinical species remains an attractive target. Herein, we describe the discovery of an optimized 1-SORA series in the piperidine ether class. Notably, a 4,4-difluoropiperidine core coupled with a 2-quinoline ether linkage provides OX1R selective compounds. The combination with an azabenzimidazole or imidazopyridine amide substituent leads to analogs 47 and 51 with >625-fold functional selectivity for OX1R over OX2R in rat. Compounds 47 and 51 possess clean off-target profiles and the required pharmacokinetic and physical properties to be useful as 1-SORA tool compounds.
