Definitions

  • the present invention relates to 1,4-disubstituted piperidine compounds of general formula (I), methods for their preparation, medicaments comprising these compounds as well as their use for the preparation of a medicament for the treatment of humans or animals.
  • Neuropeptide Y (NPY), first isolated in porcine brain extracts (Tatemoto et. al. Nature 1982, 296, 659), is a 36-aminoacid peptide belonging to the family of pancreatic polypeptides, and is one of the most abundant peptides in the brain and in the central nervous system.
  • NPY plays a significant role in cognitive function regulation, e.g. memory (Flood J. F. et. al. Brain Res. 1987, 421, 280; Redrobe J. P. et. Al. Brain Res. 1999, 848, 153), and in the development of anxiety (Hilor M. et. al. Reg. Peptides 1992, 41, 61) and depression (Hilor M. et. al. Eur. J. Pharmacol. 1988, 147, 465).
  • NPY neuropeptide
  • NPY-binding receptors The endogenous proteins that constitute NPY-binding receptors have been widely studied. Several have been cloned and expressed. At present, six different receptor subtypes, named Y1 to Y6, are recognized (Hispkind P. A. et. al. Annu. Rep. Med. Chem. 1996, 31, 1; Grundemar L. et. al. TIPS Reviews., 15, 153, 1994). Each NPY receptor subtype is generally associated to a different biological activity.
  • the most recently identified receptor is Y5 (Hu et. al. J. Biol. Chem. 1996, 271, 26315). Since there is ample evidence that the Y5 receptor has a unique pharmacological profile compared to the other receptor subtypes, it was initially expected that the Y5 receptor might be a suitable target for the treatment of food intake related disorders such as obesity. This attitude has changed and it is now the common opinion among those skilled in the art that the Y5 receptor in general is not a suitable target for a treatment of food intake related disorders such as obesity. This change in attitude may be attributed to the fact that the compounds with affinity for the NPY-5 receptor tested so far were not orally active, see also Current Opinion in Investigational Drugs 2003, 4, 1198; Diabetes Vol. 51, August 2002, 2441 and International Journal of Obesity 2004, 28, 628.
