Jj. Mcnally et al., N-(sulfonamido)alkyl[tetrahydro-1H-benzo[e]indol-2-yl] amines: Potent antagonists of human neuropeptide YY5 receptor, BIOORG MED, 10(3), 2000, pp. 213-216
[3a,4,5,9b-Tetrahydro-1H-benzo[e]indol-2-yl]amines were prepared via reduct
ive amination and concomitant cyclization of alpha-cyanomethyl-beta-aminote
tralins. N-acylation with Omega-sulfonamido-carboxylic acids and subsequent
reduction afforded a series of N-(sulfonamido)alkyl[tetrahydro-1H-benzo[e]
indol-2-yl]amines, which bound to the human neuropeptide Y Y5 receptor with
nanomolar affinity. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
