R. Perrone et al., SYNTHESIS OF ARYLPIPERAZINES WITH A TERMINAL NAPHTHOTHIAZOLE GROUP AND THEIR EVALUATION ON 5-HT, DA AND ALPHA-RECEPTORS, European journal of medicinal chemistry, 32(9), 1997, pp. 739-746
The synthesis, affinities for 5-HT1A, 5-HT2, D-1, D-2, alpha(1) and al
pha(2) receptors and structure-activity relationships are described fo
r a series of arylpiperazines substituted on the N-4 atom with an omeg
a-(2-naphthothiazole)alkyl chain. The best affinity for 5-HT1A recepto
rs was obtained for 1-(2-methoxyphenyl)piperazine derivatives with IC5
0 values in the range 3.2-12 nM; however, for all the reported compoun
ds mixed 5-HT1A/D-2/alpha affinities were observed.
