A 3D-quantitative structure-activity relationship (3D-QSAR) study was carri
ed out using comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA) of the 5-HT4 agon
istic activity of benzamide type compounds, which had been already synthesi
zed and reported to show 5-HT4 agonistic activity. The chosen alignment yie
lded a good cross-validated result (r(cv)(2)=0.628). This CoMFA model was a
ble to predict the 5-HT4 agonistic activity of three structurally different
compounds. Consequently, 5-amino-N-[2-(1-azabicyclo [3.3.0]octan-5-yl)ethy
l]-6-chloro-3,4-dihydro-2H-1-benzopyran-8-carboxamide (22) was obtained as
the most potent 5-HT4 agonist.
