A series of novel cyclobutane derivatives as potent and selective NK1 receptor antagonists is described. Several compounds in this series exhibited high in vitro binding affinity (Ki <or=1 nM), and potent inhibition of central NK1 receptor following oral administration. Syntheses of these compounds are also described herein.
