Chemical Modifications on 4-Arylpiperazine-Ethyl Carboxamide Derivatives Differentially Modulate Affinity for 5-HT1A, D4.2, and α2A Receptors: Synthesis and In Vitro Radioligand Binding Studies
Keyword(s):
A series of substituted 4-aryl-piperazine-ethyl heteroarylcarboxamides were prepared and tested in in vitro radioligand binding studies. The presence of a quinoxaline has a favourable impact in terms of serotonin 5-HT1A versus dopamine D4.2 receptor selectivity. Compounds with a 3-CF3 group at the distal phenyl ring are the most effective in terms of affinity and selectivity for 5-HT1A versus D4.2 receptors. A 4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine in place of the corresponding 4-phenyl-piperazine side chain is also favourable not only for the affinity for 5-HT1A and D4.2 receptors but also in some cases for α 2A-adrenoceptors.
