1H-indole (2), a series of related arylpiperazin-4-yl-cyclohexyl indole analogs were synthesized then evaluated as 5-HT transporter inhibitors and 5-HT(1A) receptor antagonists. The investigation of the structure-activity relationships revealed the optimal pharmacophoric elements required for activities in this series. The best example from this study, 5-(piperazin-1-yl)quinoline analog (trans-20)
