We report the synthesis and preliminary pharmacological activity of a new series of tricyclic analogues of clozapine as potential antipsychotic agents for the treatment of schizophrenia. These compounds were designed based on a revised structural model, and investigate the length and nature of a designated linker (alkyl and alkyloxy) and the nature of the introduced aryl group (aromatic and heteroaromatic). The chemistry and structural characterization of this series of 4′-arylalkyl(oxy) analogues of clozapine are described. Preliminary results on the pharmacological effects of the selected linkers and introduced aryl groups on affinity for dopamine D4 and serotonin 5-HT2A receptors are discussed. Psychosis-related animal behavioural data for promising compounds identified from the receptor binding screen are also presented.
我们报告了一系列新的氯氮平三环类似物的合成和初步药理活性,它们是治疗精神分裂症的潜在抗精神病药物。这些化合物是根据修订后的结构模型设计的,研究了指定连接物(烷基和烷氧基)的长度和性质以及引入芳基的性质(芳香族和杂芳香族)。本文介绍了这一系列氯氮平的 4′-芳基烷氧基类似物的化学和结构特征。讨论了所选连接体和引入的芳基对多巴胺 D4 和血清素 5-HT2A 受体亲和力的药理作用的初步结果。此外,还介绍了从受体结合筛选中发现的有前景的化合物与精神错乱有关的动物行为数据。
