The design of non-peptide, Y-1-selective antagonists of neuropeptide Y (NPY) as pharmacological tools is in progress and is increasingly important as therapeutic applications are expected. Starting from the potent histamine H-2 agonist and weak NPY Y-1 antagonist arpromidine, 16 imidazolylpropylguanidine derivatives were synthesized and tested for Y-1 antagonistic activity (inhibition of NPY-stimulated Ca2+ increase in human erythroleukemic cells), where the pheniramine-like moiety of arpromidine was replaced with 2-pyridylaminoalkyl, benzyl-(2-pyridyl)aminoalkyl, and phenyl-(2-pyridyl)alkylaminoalkyl partial structures derived from mepyramine. The pA(2) values of the most active compounds are in the range of 6.2-6.5. Quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSAR) were investigated by fragment regression analysis. Results indicate that a tetramethylene spacer between the guanidino group and the amino nitrogen is optimal. For an at least moderate degree of Y-1 antagonistic activity, a second benzyl or phenyl group must be present in addition to the 2-pyridyl ring. At this second group, hydrophobic substituents such as 3,4-di-Cl and 4-Br further enhance Y-1 antagonism. The most active derivative additionally bears a 5-Br substituent at the 2-pyridyl moiety. Structure-activity relationships suggest that the compounds might be able to partially imitate the role of NPY when interacting with Y-1 receptors and thus behave as moderate non-peptide NPY Y-1 antagonists.
