Abstract

A series of non-peptidergic antagonists of NPY have been synthesized and are comprised of nitrogen heterocyclic derivatives of 4-phenyl-1,4-dihydropyridines of Formula (I). ##STR1## As antagonists of NPY-induced feeding behavior, these compounds are expected to act as effective anorexiant agents in promoting weight loss and treating eating disorders.
