A series of 2-(3-aminopiperidine)-benzimidazoles were identified as selective H-1-antihistamines for evaluation as potential sedative hypnotics. Representative compounds showed improved hERG selectivity over a previously identified 2-aminobenzimidazole series. While hERG activity could be modulated via manipulation of the benzimidazole N1 substituent, this approach led to a reduction in CNS exposure for the more selective compounds. One example, 9q, retained a suitable selectivity profile with CNS exposure equivalent to known centrally active H-1-antihistamines. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
