Orexins phy complex; pallido-ponto-nigral degeneration; epilepsy; are found to stimulate food consumption in rats suggesting a seizure disorders and other diseases related to general orexin physiological role for these peptides as mediators in the cen system dysfunction. tral feedback mechanism that regulates feeding behaviour (Sakurai T. et al., Cell, 1998,92, 573-585). Orexins regulate SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION states of sleep and wakefulness opening potentially novel therapeutic approaches for narcoleptic or insomniac patients The present invention is directed to diazepan compounds (Chemelli R. M. et al., Cell, 1999, 98,437-451). Orexins have 25 which are antagonists of orexin receptors, and which are also been indicated as playing a role in arousal, reward, learn useful in the treatment or prevention of neurological and ing and memory (Harris, et al., Trends Neurosci., 2006, 29 psychiatric disorders and diseases in which orexin receptors (10), 571-577). Two orexin receptors have been cloned and are involved. The invention is also directed to pharmaceutical characterized in mammals. They belong to the Superfamily of compositions comprising these compounds and the use of G-protein coupled receptors (Sakurai T. et al., Cell, 1998,92, 30 these compounds and compositions in the prevention or treat 573-585): theorexin-1 receptor (OX or OX1R) is selective for ment of such diseases in which orexin receptors are involved. OX-A and the orexin-2 receptor (OX2 or OX2R) is capable to bind OX-A as well as OX-B. The physiological actions in DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION which orexins are presumed to participate are thought to be expressed via one or both of OX1 receptor and OX2 receptor 35 The present invention is directed to compounds of the as the two Subtypes of orexin receptors. formula I: Orexin receptors are found in the mammalian brain and may have numerous implications in pathologies such as depression; anxiety; addictions; obsessive compulsive disor I der; affective neurosis; depressive neurosis; anxiety neurosis: 40 R4 R O dysthymic disorder; behaviour disorder; mood disorder; sexual dysfunction; psychosexual dysfunction; sex disorder; R's ) é l Schizophrenia; manic depression; delirium; dementia; severe R2-N N RI mental retardation and dyskinesias Such as Huntington's dis R12 R7 ease and Tourette syndrome; eating disorders such as anor 45 R11 R8 exia, bulimia, cachexia, and obesity; addictive feeding behav R10 R9 iors; binge/purge feeding behaviors; cardiovascular diseases; diabetes; appetite/taste disorders; emesis, Vomiting, nausea; asthma; cancer, Parkinson's disease; Cushing's syndrome? wherein: disease; basophile adenoma; prolactinoma; hyperprolactine 50 R" is selected from the group consisting of: mia; hypophysis tumour/adenoma; hypothalamic diseases; (1) phenyl, where the phenyl is substituted with R', R' inflammatory bowel disease; gastric diskinesia; gastric and R', and ulcers; Froehlich's syndrome; adrenohypophysis disease; (2) napthyl, where the napthyl is substituted with R', R' hypophysis disease; adrenohypophysis hypofunction; and R': adrenohypophysis hyperfunction; hypothalamic hypogo 55 (3) heteroaryl, where the heteroaryl is substituted with R", nadism; Kallman’s syndrome (anosmia, hyposmia); func RandR; tional or psychogenic amenorrhea; hypopituitarism; hypo R’ is heteroaryl, where the heteroaryl is substituted with R', thalamic hypothyroidism; hypothalamic-adrenal R° and R? dysfunction, idiopathic hyperprolactinemia; hypothalamic R.
