Biaryl urea lead compound 1 was discovered earlier in our MCH antagonist program. Novel benzimidazole analogues with increased chemical stability, devoid of the potential carcinogenic liability associated with a biarylamine moiety, were synthesized and evaluated to be potent MCH R1 antagonists. Two compounds in this series have demonstrated in vivo efficacy in a rodent obesity model. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
