Sm. Bromidge et al., 1-[2-[(heteroaryloxy)heteroaryl]carbamoyl]indolines: Novel and selective 5-HT2C receptor inverse agonists with potential as antidepressant/anxiolyticagents, BIOORG MED, 10(16), 2000, pp. 1863-1866
Bisaryl ethers have been identified with excellent 5-HT2C affinity and sele
ctivity over both 5-HT2A and 5-HT2B receptors. Compounds such as 11, 27 and
38 have potent oral activity in a centrally mediated pharmacodynamic model
of 5-HT2C function and their potential as novel non-sedating anxiolytic an
d antidepressants is under investigation. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. Al
