title: N-(sulfonamido)alkyl[tetrahydro-1H-benzo[e]indol-2-yl]amines: potent antagonists of human neuropeptide Y Y5 receptor.
abstract: [3a,4,5,9b-Tetrahydro-1H-benzo[e]indol-2-yl]amines were prepared via reductive amination and concomitant cyclization of alpha-cyanomethyl-beta-aminotetralins. 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.
