Synthesis and evaluation of arylpiperazine-reverse amides as biased dopamine D3 receptor ligands
摘要:
The dopamine D3 receptor (D3R) preferential ligands have been universally adopted as a strategy for the treatment of drug addiction and other neuropsychiatric disorders due to fewer side effects. However, the high sequence homology between D3R and the D2 receptor (D2R) challenges the development of D3R-biased compounds. Herein, we design and synthesize a novel series of reverse amide-piperazine hybrid ligands and evaluate their biological affinities in vitro. Compound 4d was found to be the most potent D3R-selective ligand among these hybrid derivatives. Molecular modeling revealed that extracellular loop 1 (EL1) and loop 2 (EL2) of D3R together likely contribute to D3R selectivity over D2R. In particular, Gly94 in EL1 of D3R may act as a molecular determinant for D3R specificity. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
currently appear to be the potential target in the management of these disorders. In this study, homologation and bioisosterism techniques have been used in the designing of new 1,4-disubstituted piperazines and piperidines. These derivatives were synthesized and evaluated as potential triple reuptake inhibitors for studying the structure-activity relationships. The most advanced compound, 1-(4-(5-
In the search for potent dual norepinephrine and dopamine reuptake inhibitors, several substituted arylpiperazine–tetrazoles were designed, synthesized and evaluated for their neurotransmitter reuptake inhibitory activities. Various derivatives exhibited selective and strong neurotransmitter reuptake inhibitory activity. In particular, compounds with a three-carbon linker displayed selective and stronger
The limitations of established serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) and norepinephrine (NE) reuptake inhibitors necessitate the development of safer and more effective therapeutic agents. Based on the structures of 4-benzylpiperidine carboxamides and trazodone, arylpiperazine–benzylpiperidines with chemical scaffolds different from those of marketed drugs were designed, synthesized, and evaluated
