Benzimidazole, Benzoxazole and Benzothiazole Derivatives as 5HT2B Receptor Ligands. Synthesis and Preliminary Pharmacological Evaluation
摘要:
2-Phenethylbenzimidazole, 2-phenethylbenzoxazole and 2phenethylbenzothiazole derivatives were synthesized to explore the structural features of the serotonin 5-HT2B receptor antagonists. Those molecules were designed to recognize the 5-HT2B receptor and to discriminate it from the 5-HT2A and 5-HT2C subtypes. All compounds were characterized by binding affinity determination for 5-HT2A and 5-HT2C subtypes and antagonistic activity for 5-HT2B receptor in rat stomach fundus. None of the new compounds showed affinity for 5-HT2A and 5-HT2C subtypes, but some of them displayed antagonistic activity in rat stomach fundus at micromolar concentrations.
The title compound, [CoCl3(C10H14N3)], has slightly distorted tetrahedral geometry with monodentate coordination of the protonated ligand. The three Co-Cl distances are 2.2665 (7), 2.2615 (9) and 2.2712(10)Angstrom. The Co-N distance is 2.029(2)Angstrom. Antiparallel pairwise packing of molecules allows effective hydrogen bonding of the chloro ligands with both the benzimidazole N [3.439 (2) and 3.699 (2) Angstrom] and ammonium N [3.220(2) and 3.240(2)Angstrom] atoms. The respective Cl ... H separations are 2.76, 2.90, 2.29 and 2.47 Angstrom.
