Abstract

The invention relates to a novel compound of formula (I) or a stereoisomer, or a racemate or a mixture or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof: wherein: R is phenyl or a 5- or 6-membered heteroaryl ring containing 1 to 3 heteroatoms selected from S, N and O, such rings may be optionally substituted with n groups Q; Q is selected from a group consisting of: C1-C4 alkyl, halogen, halo C1-C4 alkyl, C1-C4 alkoxy, CN, SO₂CH₃ or a group —O[(CR₁R₂]pQ₁; or Q may be a group Q₂; Q₁ is phenyl, which may be optionally substituted with n substituents selected from a group consisting of: C1-C4 alkyl, halogen, halo C1-C4 alkyl, C1-C4 alkoxy, CN, or a group Q₂; or corresponds to 2,2-difluoro-benzo[d][1,3]dioxol-4-yl; Q2 is a 5- or 6-membered heteroaryl containing at least one nitrogen atom, which may optionally substituted with n substituents selected from a group consisting of: C1 C1-C4 alkyl, halogen, halo C1-C4 alkyl, C1-C4 alkoxy, CN; P is a 6-membered heteroaryl or a 8-1 1 membered bicyclic heteroaryl group, which may be substituted with n substituents selected from a group consisting of: C1-C4 alkyl, halogen, halo C1-C4 alkyl, C1-C4 alkoxy, CN; R₁ is hydrogen or C1-C3 alkyl; R₂ is hydrogen or C1-C3 alkyl; n is 1, 2 or 3; p is 0, 1 or 2; and with the proviso that when R corresponds to phenyl, P is substituted by at least one CF₃; processes for the preparation of those compounds, pharmaceutical compositions containing one or more compounds of formula (I) and their use as dual antagonists of the Orexin 1 and Orexin 2 receptors.
