title: 4-Amino-2-(aryl)-butylbenzamides and Their conformationally constrained analogues. Potent antagonists of the human neurokinin-2 (NK(2)) receptor.
abstract: A library, evaluating a range of piperazines, piperidines and acyclic amines, as replacements for the 4-hydroxy-4-phenylpiperidine moiety in lead (1b) was prepared. These efforts identified the 4-((N)-benzimidazolone)piperidine analogue (2a) which was further optimised using classical single-compound synthesis to yield the 3-((N)-morpholino)azetidine (2j). Conformationally constrained analogues of (2j), generally offered no potency advantage in this particular series.
