A novel series of pyridyl-phenyl ethers are disclosed, which possess dual 5-HT and NA reuptake pharmacology with good selectivity over dopamine reuptake inhibition. An analysis of the relationship between lipophilicity and pharmacology highlighted that potent dual SNRI activity was only achievable at c log P > 3.5. The series was found to possess significant polypharmacology issues, and we concluded that this off-target promiscuity was related to lipophilicity. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
