As part of a research program to develop compounds with mixed dopamine D4 and serotonin 5-HT2A antagonist activity with potential for the treatment of schizophrenia, we report a family of compounds based on structural modification of the atypical antipsychotic, clozapine (2). The chemical synthesis, structural characterization and pharmacological evaluation of a series 4�-arylmethyl analogues of clozapine are described. Preliminary receptor binding data are presented, examining primarily the electronic and positional effects of substituents on the introduced arylmethyl group, and secondarily the nature of the aryl ring.

As a continuing part of our research program in search of novel compounds for the treatment of schizophrenia, we report the synthesis and preliminary receptor binding affinity for a series of bicyclic analogues of clozapine derived from a selection of promising tricyclic candidates published previously. These bicyclic compounds investigate some substituent effects and the length and nature of the linker between an ionizable nitrogen atom at physiological pH and the introduced aryl moiety. The chemistry, structural characterization, and in vitro evaluation are described. Preliminary findings on the effects on activity of the nature and length of the linker, degree of unsaturation, and selected substituents coupled to the bicyclic nucleus are discussed in relation to affinity for dopamine D4 and serotonin 5-HT2A receptors.

We report the synthesis of a series of second generation aminimide-based analogues of clozapine, investigating the length of the linker between the aminimide functional group and the introduced aryl moiety. The chemistry and structural characterization of this series of 4′-arylalkyl aminimide analogues of clozapine are described. Preliminary findings on the biochemical effects of linker length and type of aryl moiety on affinity for dopamine D4 and serotonin 5-HT2A receptors are discussed. All of the compounds showed a marked reduction in binding at the two receptors when compared with clozapine, thus showing a reduced potential for atypical antipsychotic activity.

We report the synthesis and preliminary pharmacological activity of a new series of tricyclic analogues of clozapine as potential antipsychotic agents for the treatment of schizophrenia. These compounds were designed based on a revised structural model, and investigate the length and nature of a designated linker (alkyl and alkyloxy) and the nature of the introduced aryl group (aromatic and heteroaromatic). The chemistry and structural characterization of this series of 4′-arylalkyl(oxy) analogues of clozapine are described. Preliminary results on the pharmacological effects of the selected linkers and introduced aryl groups on affinity for dopamine D4 and serotonin 5-HT2A receptors are discussed. Psychosis-related animal behavioural data for promising compounds identified from the receptor binding screen are also presented.
