TL;DR

BIBP3226 displayed potent antagonistic properties both in in vitro and in vivo models and thus represents the first selective non-peptide neuropeptides Y Y1 receptor antagonist.

Abstract

The design and subsequent in vitro and in vivo biological characterisation of the first potent and selective non-peptide neuropeptide Y Y1 receptor antagonist, BIBP3226 ((R)-N2-(diphenylacetyl)-N-[(4-hydroxyphenyl)methyl]-argininami de) is reported. BIBP3226 displaced 125I-labelled neuropeptide Y with high affinity (Ki = 7 nM) from the human neuropeptide Y Y1 receptor and proved to be highly selective. BIBP3226 displayed potent antagonistic properties both in in vitro and in vivo models and thus represents the first selective non-peptide neuropeptide Y Y1 receptor antagonist.
