Design, synthesis, and pharmacological evaluation of phenoxy pyridyl derivatives as dual norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors and 5-HT1A partial agonists
摘要:
Preclinical studies suggest that compounds with dual norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (NRI) and 5-HT1A partial agonist properties may provide an important new therapeutic approach to ADHD, depression, and anxiety. Reported herein is the discovery of a novel chemical series with a favorable NRI and 5-HT1A partial agonist pharmacological pro. le as well as excellent selectivity for the norepinephrine transporter over the dopamine transporter.

Design, synthesis, and pharmacological evaluation of azetedine and pyrrolidine derivatives as dual norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors and 5-HT1A partial agonists
摘要:
Compounds with combined norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (NRI) and serotonin 1A (5-HT1A) partial agonist pharmacology may offer a new therapeutic approach for treating symptoms of neuropsychiatric disorders including ADHD, depression, and anxiety. Herein we describe the design and optimization of novel chemical matter that exhibits favorable dual NRI and 5-HT1A partial agonist activity. Lead compounds in this series were found to be devoid of activity at the dopamine transporter and were shown to be brain penetrant with high receptor occupancy. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd.
