Discovery of 3,9-diazabicyclo[4.2.1]nonanes as potent dual orexin receptor antagonists with sleep-promoting activity in the rat

In this Letter, we describe the synthesis of constrained diazepanes including 3,9-diazabicyclo[4.2.1]nonane 8a that has improved oral bioavailability and sleep-promoting activity in a rat EEG model. Orexins are excitatory neuropeptides that regulate arousal and sleep. Orexin receptor antagonists pro...

Zusammenfassung:In this Letter, we describe the synthesis of constrained diazepanes including 3,9-diazabicyclo[4.2.1]nonane 8a that has improved oral bioavailability and sleep-promoting activity in a rat EEG model. Orexins are excitatory neuropeptides that regulate arousal and sleep. Orexin receptor antagonists promote sleep and offer potential as a new therapy for the treatment of insomnia. In this Letter, we describe the synthesis of constrained diazepanes having a 3,9 diazabicyclo[4.2.1]nonane bicyclic core with good oral bioavailability and sleep-promoting activity in a rat EEG model.
