Abstract

A subject of the present Application is novel derivatives of benzimidazole and imidazo-pyridine which have a good affinity for certain sub-types of melanocortin receptors, in particular the MC4 receptors. They are particularly useful for treating pathological conditions and diseases in which one or more melanocortin receptors are involved. The invention also relates to pharmaceutical compositions containing said products.
