The peptide neurotransmitter neuropeptide Y (NPY) is a 36 amino acid member of the pancreatic polypeptide family with widespread distribution throughout the mammalian nervous system (Dumont et al., 1992). The family includes the pancreatic polypeptide (PP), synthesized primarily by endocrine cells in the pancreas; peptide YY (PYY), synthesized primarily by endocrine cells in the gut; and NPY, synthesized primarily in neurons (Michel, 1991; Dumont et al., 1992; Wahlestedt and Reis, 1993). All pancreatic polypeptide family members share a compact structure involving a"PP-fold"and a conserved C-terminal hexapeptide ending in Tyr36 (or y36 in the single letter code). The striking conservation of y36 has prompted the

reference to the pancreatic polypeptides'receptors as "Y-type"receptors (Wahlestedt et al., 1987), all of which are proposed to function as seven transmembrane-spanning G protein-coupled receptors (Dumont et al., 1992).

NPY and its relatives elicit a broad range of physiological effects through activation of at least five G protein-coupled receptor subtypes known as Y1, Y2, Y3, Y4 (or PP), and the"atypical Y1". While the Y1, Y2, Y3, and Y4 (or PP) receptors were each described previously in both radioligand binding and functional assays, the "atypical Y1"receptor is unique in that its classification is based solely on feeding behavior induced by various peptides including NPY.

The role of NPY in normal and abnormal eating behavior, and the ability to interfere with NPY-dependent pathways as a means to appetite and weight control, are areas of great interest in pharmacological and pharmaceutical research (Sahu and Kalra, 1993; Dryden et al., 1994). NPY is considered to be the most powerful stimulant of feeding behavior yet described (Clark et al., 1984; Levine and Morley, 1984; Stanley and Leibowitz, 1984). The stimulation of feeding behavior by NPY is thought to occur primarily through activation of the hypothalamic"atypical Y1"receptor. For example, direct injection of NPY into the hypothalamus of satiated rats can increase food intake up to 10-fold over a 4-hour period (Stanley et al., 1992).

Similar studies using other peptides has resulted in a pharmacologic profile for the"atypical Y1"receptor according to the rank order of potencies of peptides in stimulating feeding behavior as follows: NPY2-36 NPY- PYY ~ [Leu3l, Pro34] NPY > NPY13-36 (Kalra et al., 1991; Stanley et al., 1992). The profile is similar to that of

a Yl-like receptor except for the anomalous ability of NPY2-36 to stimulate food intake with potency equivalent or better than that of NPY. A subsequent report in J. Med.

Chem. by Balasubramaniam and co-workers (1994) showed that feeding can be regulated by [D-Trp32] NPY. While this peptide was presented as an NPY antagonist, the published data at least in part support a stimulatory effect of [D-Trp32] NPY on feeding. In contrast to other NPY receptor subtypes, the"feeding"receptor has never been characterized for peptide binding affinity in radioligand binding assays.

This problem has been addressed by cloning rat and human cDNAs which encode a single receptor protein, referred to herein as Y5, whose pharmacologic profile links it to the "atypical Yl"receptor. The identification and characterization of a single molecular entity which explains the"atypical Y1"receptor allows the design of selective drugs which modulate feeding behavior (WO 96/16542). It is important to note, though, that any credible means of studying or modifying NPY-dependent feeding behavior must necessarily be highly selective, as NPY interacts with multiple receptor subtypes, as noted above (Dumont et al., 1992).

As used in this invention, the term"antagonist"refers to a compound which binds to, and decreases the activity of, a receptor in the presence of an agonist. In the case of a G-protein coupled receptor, activation may be measured using any appropriate second messenger system which is coupled to the receptor in a cell or tissue in which the receptor is expressed. Some specific but by no means limiting examples of well-known second messenger systems are adenylate cyclase, intracellular calcium mobilization,

ion channel activation, guanylate cyclase, and inositol phospholipid hydrolysis. Conversely, the term"agonist" refers to a compound which binds to, and increases the activity of, a receptor as compared with the activity of the receptor in the absence of any agonist.

In order to test compounds for selective binding to the human Y5 receptor the cloned cDNAs encoding both the human and rat Y2 and Y4 (or PP) receptors have been used. The human and rat Y5 receptors are described in coassigned U. S. Patent No. 5,602,024 and in PCT International Application US95/15646, published June 6,1996, as WO 96/16542, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference into this application. The human and rat Y2 receptors are described in coassigned U. S. Patent No.

5,545,549 and in PCT International Application US95/01469, published August 10,1995, as WO 95/21245, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference into this application. The human and rat Y4 receptors are described in coassigned U. S. Patent No. 5,516,653 and in PCT International Application PCT/US94/14436, published July 6,1995, as WO 95/17906, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference into this application. The Y1 receptor has been cloned from a variety of species including human, rat and mouse (Larhammar et al., 1992; Herzog et al., 1992; Eva et al., 1990; Eva et al., 1992).

Using the NPY-Y5-selective antagonist CGP 71683A, it was demonstrated recently that food intake in free-feeding and energy-derived lean rats is mediated by the Y5 receptor (Criscione et al., 1998). CGP 71683A has high affinity for the cloned rat NPY-Y5 receptor subtype, but 1,000-fold lower affinity for the cloned rat NPY-Y1, Y2, and Y4 receptors. Examples of additional NPY-Y5-selective

compounds are disclosed in WO 97/20823, WO 98/35957, and WO 98/35944.

In different embodiments of this invention the synthesis of novel triazine compounds, bicyclic compounds and tricyclic compounds which bind selectively to the cloned human Y5 receptor, compared to the other cloned human NPY receptors, and inhibit the activation of the cloned human Y5 receptor as measured in in vitro assays is disclosed.

The in vitro receptor binding and activation assays described hereinafter were performed using various cultured cell lines, each transfected with and expressing only a single Y-type receptor.

In addition, the compounds of the present invention may be used to treat abnormal conditions such as feeding disorders (obesity and bulimia nervosa), sexual/reproductive disorders, depression, epileptic seizure, hypertension, cerebral hemorrhage, congestive heart failure, sleep disturbances, or any condition in which antagonism of a Y5 receptor may be beneficial.

General Procedure for the Synthesis of Bromoketones: In general, to the solution of a ketone (1 equivalent) in acetic acid or an appropriate solvent, cooled in a water bath, was added bromine or a brominating agent such as tetrabutylammonium perbromide (1 equivalent) slowly. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature. The solvents were evaporated, the residue was dissolved in dichloromethane, and washed with saturated sodium bicarbonate and water. The organic phase was dried over sodium sulfate. Evaporation of the combined decolored organic phase afforded a light yellow oil. In some cases, the desired product precipitated upon concentration of the reaction mixture.

All reactions were performed under an inert atmosphere (Argon) and the reagents, neat or in appropriate solvents,

were transferred to the reaction vessel via syringe and cannula techniques. The parallel synthesis reaction arrays were performed in vials (without an inert atmosphere) using J-KEM heating shakers (Saint Louis, MO).

Unless stated otherwise all solvents were AR grade and used as supplied. Anhydrous solvents were purchased from Aldrich Chemical Company and used as received. Examples 1-64 described in this patent application were named using ACD/Name program (version 2.51, Advanced Chemistry Development Inc., Toronto, Ontario, M5H2L3, Canada).

1H and 13C spectra were recorded at 300 and 75 MHz (QE Plus) with CDC13 as solvent (unless otherwise noted) and tetramethylsilane as internal standard. s = singlet; d = doublet; t = triplet; q = quartet; p = pentet; sextet; septet; b = broad; m = multiplet. Elemental analyses were performed by Robertson Microlit Laboratories, Inc. Low- resolution electrospray MS spectra were measured (ESMS, MS) and MH+ is reported. Thin-layer chromatography (TLC) was carried out on glass plates precoated with silica gel 60 F254 (0.25 mm, EM Separations Tech.). Preparative thin- layer chromatography was carried out on glass sheets precoated with silica gel GF (2 mm, Analtech). Flash column chromatography was performed on Merck silica gel 60 (230-400 mesh). Melting points were determined in open capillary tubes on a Med-Temp apparatus and are uncorrected.

General Procedure for the Synthesis of Benzothiepin-5- ones: 2,3,4,5-Tetrahydro-l-benzothiepin-5-one: Step 1.

4- (phenylsulfanyl) butanoic acid: Sodium methoxide (1.2 equivalent) was added to 60 ml of ethanol, in one portion, and the suspension was stirred at room temperature. Thiophenol (1 equivalent) was added to the above suspension and stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes. Butyrolactone (1.1 equivalent) was added to the reaction mixture and the resulting mixture was stirred at reflux temperature for 6 hours, cooled to room temperature and concentrated in vacuo. The resulting solid was washed with 200 ml hexane/ether 2: 1, v/v. The solid was suspended into ice cold 2N HC1 solution and stirred for 15 minutes. The resulting solid was filtered, washed with 100 ml hexane/ether and dried under reduced pressure at room temperature to give 4- (phenylsulfanyl) butanoic acid as tan solid: 52% yield; 1H NMR (CDC13) 8 7.32-7.12 (m, 5H), 2.94 (t, 2H, J=7.2 Hz), 2.41 (t, 2H, J=7.2 Hz), 1.85 (p, 2H, J=7.2 Hz); Anal.

Step 2.

Benzothiepin-5-ones: Polyphosphoric acid (6 equivalents) was heated to 80°C under argon. 4- (Phenylsulfanyl) butanoic acid from the step above, (1 equivalent) was added in portions and the mixture was kept at 100°C for 2 hours. The reaction mixture was cooled, dropped into ice cold water and extracted with 2X100 ml ethyl acetate. The combined ethyl acetate extracts were washed with 100 ml water, 100 ml saturated sodium bicarbonate, and 100 ml water. The ethyl acetate extract was dried (anhydrous sodium sulfate), filtered and the solvent removed in vacuo to give a tan solid. The solid was dried under vacuum to give 2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1- benzothiepin-5-one: 52% yield; 1H NMR (CDC13) 8 7.824 (dd, 1H, J=0.9,7.5 Hz), 7.45 (dd, 1H, J=0.6,6.9 Hz), 7.34- 7.21 (m, 2H), 3.05 (t, 2H, J=6.6 Hz), 2.97 (t, 2H, J=6.6 Hz), 2.29 (p, 2H, J=6.6 Hz).

IV. Pharmacological Evaluation of Compounds at Cloned Neuropeptide Y-type Receptors The pharmacological properties of the compounds of the present invention were evaluated at one or more of the cloned human neuropeptide Y-type receptors Y1, Y2, Y4, and Y5, using protocols described below.

Cell Culture COS-7 cells were grown on 150 mm plates in D-MEM with supplements (Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium with 10% bovine calf serum, 4 mM glutamine, 100 units/ml penicillin/100 pg/ml streptomycin) at 37 °C, 5% CO2. Stock plates of COS-7 cells were trypsinized and split 1: 6 every 3-4 days. Human embryonic kidney 293 cells were grown on 150 mm plates in D-MEM with supplements (minimal essential medium) with Hanks'salts and supplements (Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium with 10% bovine calf serum, 4 mM glutamine, 100 units/ml penicillin/100 g/ml streptomycin) at 37 °C, 5% C02. Stock plates of 293 cells were trypsinized and split 1: 6 every 3-4 days. Mouse fibroblast LM (tk-) cells were grown on 150 mm plates in D-MEM with supplements (Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium with 10% bovine calf serum, 4 mM glutamine, 100 units/mL

penicillin/100 pg/mL streptomycin) at 37 °C, 5% C02. Stock plates of LM (tk-) cells were trypsinized and split 1: 10 every 3-4 days.

LM (tk-) cells stably transfected with the human Y5 receptor were routinely converted from an adherent monolayer to a viable suspension. Adherent cells were harvested with trypsin at the point of confluence, resuspended in a minimal volume of complete DMEM for a cell count, and further diluted to a concentration of 106 cells/ml in suspension media (10% bovine calf serum, 10% 10X Medium 199 (Gibco), 9 mM NaHCO3,25 mM glucose, 2 mM L-glutamine, 100 units/ml penicillin/100 zg/ml streptomycin, and 0.05% methyl cellulose). The cell suspension was maintained in a shaking incubator at 37 °C, 5% C02 for 24 hours. Membranes harvested from cells grown in this manner may be stored as large, uniform batches in liquid nitrogen. Alternatively, cells may be returned to adherent cell culture in complete DMEM by distribution into 96-well microtiter plates coated with poly-D-lysine (0.01 mg/ml) followed by incubation at 37 °C, 5% C02 for 24 hours. Cells prepared in this manner yielded a robust and reliable NPY-dependent response in cAMP radio-immunoassays as further described hereinbelow.

Mouse embryonic fibroblast NIH-3T3 cells were grown on 150 mm plates in Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM) with supplements (10% bovine calf serum, 4 mM glutamine, 100 units/ml penicillin/100 Fg/ml streptomycin) at 37 °C, 5% C02. Stock plates of NIH-3T3 cells were trypsinized and split 1: 15 every 3-4 days.

Sf9 and Sf21 cells were grown in monolayers on 150 mm tissue culture dishes in TMN-FH media supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum, at 27 °C, no CO2. High Five insect cells were grown on 150 mm tissue culture dishes in Ex-Cell 400 medium supplemented with L-Glutamine, also at 27 °C, no C02.

Transient Transfection All receptor subtypes studied (human and rat Y1, human and rat Y2, human and rat Y4, human and rat Y5) were transiently transfected into COS-7 cells by the DEAE-dextran method, using 1 Ig of DNA/106 cells (Cullen, 1987). The human Y1 receptor was prepared using known methods (Larhammar, et al., 1992).

Stable Transfection Human Y1, human Y2, and rat Y5 receptors were co-transfected with a G-418 resistant gene into the human embryonic kidney 293 cell line by a calcium phosphate transfection method (Cullen, 1987). Stably transfected cells were selected with G-418. Human Y4 and human Y5 receptors were similarly transfected into mouse fibroblast LM (tk-) cells and NIH-3T3 cells.

Binding of the compounds of the present invention to human Y1, Y2, Y4, and Y5 receptors was evaluated using stably transfected 293 or LM (tk-) cells as described above.

Stably transfected cell lines which may be used for binding assays include, for example, for the human Y1 receptor, 293-hYl-5 (deposited June 4,1996, under ATCC Accession No. CRL-12121), for the human Y2 receptor, 293- hY2-10 (deposited January 27,1994, under ATCC Accession No. CRL-11537), for the human Y4 receptor, L-hY4-3 (deposited January 11,1995, under ATCC Accession No. CRL-

11779), and for human Y5 receptor, L-hY5-7 (deposited November 15,1995, under ATCC Accession No. CRL-11995). These cell lines were deposited with the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC), 10801 University Blvd., Manassas, Virginia 20110-2209, U. S. A. under the provisions of the Budapest Treaty for the International Recognition of the Deposit of Microorganisms for the Purposes of Patent Procedure.

Membrane Harvest Membranes were harvested from COS-7 cells 48 hours after transient transfection. Adherent cells were washed twice in ice-cold phosphate buffered saline (138 mM NaCl, 8.1 mM Na2HPO4,2.5 mM KC1,1.2 mM KH2PO4, 0. 9 mM CaCl2,0.5 mM MgCl2, pH 7.4) and lysed by sonication in ice-cold sonication buffer (20 mM Tris-HC1,5 mM EDTA, pH 7.7).

Large particles and debris were cleared by low speed centrifugation (200 x g, 5 min, 4 °C). Membranes were collected from the supernatant fraction by centrifugation (32,000 x g, 18 min, 4 °C), washed with ice-cold hypotonic buffer, and collected again by centrifugation (32,000 xg, 18 min, 4 °C). The final membrane pellet was resuspended by sonication into a small volume of ice-cold binding buffer (~1 ml for every 5 plates: 10 mM NaCl, 20 mM HEPES, 0.22 mM KH2PO4,1.26 mM CaCl2,0. 81 mM MgSO4, pH 7.4). Protein concentration was measured by the Bradford method (Bradford, 1976) using Bio-Rad Reagent, with bovine serum albumin as a standard. Membranes were held on ice for up to one hour and used fresh, or flash-frozen and stored in liquid nitrogen.

Membranes were prepared similarly from 293, LM (tk-), and NIH-3T3 cells. To prepare membranes from baculovirus infected cells, 2 x 107 Sf21 cells were grown in 150mm

tissue culture dishes and infected with a high-titer stock of hY5BB3. Cells were incubated for 2-4 days at 27 °C, no CO2 before harvesting and membrane preparation as described above.

Membranes were prepared similarly from dissected rat hypothalamus. Frozen hypothalami were homogenized for 20 seconds in ice-cold sonication buffer with the narrow probe of a Virtishear homogenizer at 1000 rpm (Virtis, Gardiner, NY). Large particles and debris were cleared by centrifugation (200 x g, 5 min, 4 °C) and the supernatant fraction was reserved on ice. Membranes were further extracted from the pellet by repeating the homogenization and centrifugation procedure two more times. The supernatant fractions were pooled and subjected to high speed centrifugation (100,000 x g, 20 min. 4 °C). The final membrane pellet was resuspended by gentle homogenization into a small volume of ice-cold binding buffer (1 mL/gram wet weight tissue) and held on ice for up to one hour, or flash-frozen and stored in liquid nitrogen.

Radioligand Binding to Membrane Suspensions Membrane suspensions were diluted in binding buffer supplemented with 0.1% bovine serum albumin to yield an optimal membrane protein concentration so that 1-PYY (or alternative radioligand such as lzsl-NPY, 125I-PYY3-36, or 125I-[Leu31Pro34] PYY) bound by membranes in the assay was less than 10% of 1-PYY (or alternative radioligand) delivered to the sample (100,000 dpm/sample = 0.08 nM for competition binding assays). l25I-PYY (or alternative radioligand) and peptide competitors were also diluted to desired concentrations in supplemented binding buffer.

Individual samples were then prepared in 96-well

polypropylene microtiter plates by mixing 1-PYY (25L) (or alternative radioligand), competing peptides or supplemented binding buffer (25 jus), and finally, membrane suspensions (200 µL). Samples were incubated in a 30 °C water bath with constant shaking for 120 min. Incubations were terminated by filtration over Whatman GF/C filters (pre-coated with 1% polyethyleneimine and air-dried before use), followed by washing with 5 mL of ice-cold binding buffer. Filter-trapped membranes were impregnated with MeltiLex solid scintillant (Wallac, Turku, Finland) and counted for 1251 in a Wallac Beta-Plate Reader.

Alternatively, incubations were carried out in GF/C filter plates (pre-coated with 1% polyethyleneimine and air-dried before use), followed by vacuum filtration and three washes of 300 iL of ice-cold binding buffer. 50 µl of UltimaGold (Packard) scintillant were added and counted for l2sI in a Wallac MicroBeta Trilux. Non-specific binding was defined by 300 nM human NPY for all receptors except the Y4 subtypes; 100 nM human PP was used for the human Y4 and 100 nM rat PP for the rat Y4. Specific binding in time course and competition studies was typically 80%; most non-specific binding was associated with the filter. Binding data were analyzed using nonlinear regression and statistical techniques available in the GraphPAD Prism package (San Diego, CA).

Functional Assay: Radioimmunoassay of cAMP Stably transfected cells were seeded into 96-well microtiter plates and cultured until confluent. To reduce the potential for receptor desensitization, the serum component of the media was reduced to 1. 5% for 4 to 16 hours before the assay. Cells were washed in Hank's buffered saline, or HBS (150 mM NaCl, 20 mM HEPES, 1 mM CaCl2,5 mM KC1,1 mM MgCl2, and 10 mM glucose)

supplemented with 0.1% bovine serum albumin plus 5 mM theophylline and pre-equilibrated in the same solution for 20 min at 37 °C in 5% CO2. Cells were then incubated 5 min with 10 pM forskolin and various concentrations of receptor-selective ligands. The assay was terminated by the removal of HBS and acidification of the cells with 100 mM HC1. Intracellular cAMP was extracted and quantified with a modified version of a magnetic bead-based radioimmunoassay (Advanced Magnetics, Cambridge, MA). The final antigen/antibody complex was separated from free l2sl-cAMP by vacuum filtration through a PVDF filter in a microtiter plate (Millipore, Bedford, MA). Filters were punched and counted for 12. 5, in a Packard gamma counter.

Binding data were analyzed using nonlinear regression and statistical techniques available in the GraphPAD Prism package (San Diego, CA).

Functional Assay: Intracellular calcium mobilization The intracellular free calcium concentration was measured by microspectroflourometry using the fluorescent indicator dye Fura-2/AM. Stably transfected cells were seeded onto a 35 mm culture dish containing a glass coverslip insert.

Cells were washed with HBS and loaded with 100 pl of Fura-2/AM (10 pM) for 20 to 40 min. After washing with HBS to remove the Fura-2/AM solution, cells were equilibrated in HBS for 10 to 20 min. Cells were then visualized under the 40X objective of a Leitz Fluovert FS microscope and fluorescence emission was determined at 510 nM with excitation wave lengths alternating between 340 nM and 380 nM. Raw fluorescence data were converted to calcium concentrations using standard calcium concentration curves and software analysis techniques.

Materials Cell culture media and supplements were from Specialty Media (Lavallette, NJ). Cell culture plates (150 mm and 96-well microtiter) were from Corning (Corning, NY). Sf9, Sf21, and High Five insect cells, as well as the baculovirus transfer plasmid, pBlueBacIIITM, were purchased from Invitrogen (San Diego, CA). TMN-FH insect medium complemented with 10% fetal calf serum, and the baculovirus DNA, BaculoGold, was obtained from Pharmingen (San Diego, CA.). Ex-Cell 400TM medium with L-Glutamine was purchased from JRH Scientific. Polypropylene 96-well microtiter plates were from Co-star (Cambridge, MA). All radioligands were from New England Nuclear (Boston, MA).

Commercially available NPY and related peptide analogs were either from Bachem California (Torrance, CA) or Peninsula (Belmont, CA); [D-Trp32] NPY and PP C-terminal fragments were synthesized by custom order from Chiron Mimotopes Peptide Systems (San Diego, CA). Bio-Rad Reagent was from Bio-Rad (Hercules, CA). Bovine serum albumin (ultra-fat free, A-7511) was from Sigma (St. Louis. MO).

All other materials were reagent grade.

Radioligand Binding Assay Results The compounds described above were assayed using cloned human NPY receptors. The preferred compounds were found to be selective NPY (Y5) antagonists. Example 49 has been assayed using the cloned human NPY receptors and a Ki (nM) > 100000 was determined for NPY (Y1), NPY (Y2), and NPY (Y4). The binding affinities of several compounds for NPY (Y5) are illustrated in Tables 1-6.
