M. Anzini et al., SYNTHESIS AND RECEPTOR-BINDING STUDIES OF 2-FUNCTIONALIZED 1,4-BENZODIAZEPINE DERIVATIVES AS POTENTIAL METACLAZEPAM-LIKE ANTIANXIETY AGENTS, Il Farmaco, 48(7), 1993, pp. 897-905
The synthesis of hoxyethyl)-1-methyl-5-phenyl-1H-1,4-benzodiazepine (2
) is described. While the metaclazepam-like compound 2 showed an affin
ity for benzodiazepine receptor central type (CBZRs) comparable to tha
t of metaclazepam (1a), its intermediates bearing the exocyclic double
bond resulted more active.
