Tetrahydronaphthalenic analogues of melatonin have been synthesized and evaluated as melatonin receptor ligands. Introduction of a phenyl substituent in the 3-position of the tetraline ring allows to obtain MT2 selective ligands. Activity and MT2 selectivity can be modulated with suitable modifications of the N-acyl substituent. The (+)-(RR)-cis enantiomer of the N-[2-(7-methoxy-3-phenyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-naphthalen-1-yl)ethyl]cyclobutyl carboxamide (14) is one of the most MT2 selective ligands described until now and behaves as an antagonist.
