A series of carboxamide and sulphonamide alkyl(ethyl to hexyl) piperazine analogues were prepared and tested for their affinity to bind to a range of receptors potentially involved in psychiatric disorders. These chemical modifications led us to explore the impact of homology and bioisosteric replacement of the amide group. All of these compounds possessed a high affinity for 5-HT1A receptors, irrespective of the size of the linker, the carboxamide derivative with a pentyl linker had the highest affinity for alpha(2A) receptor sites and also a high affinity for 5-HT1A and D3 receptors. The sulphonamide analogue with a hexyl linker possessed a high affinity for 5-HT1A, D4.2 and D3 receptors. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
