摘要:
Synthesis and biological evaluation of 1 ('angular') and 2 ('linear') cycloalkane-annelated 3-phenylsulfonyl-pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines as novel ligands of the 5-HT6 receptors are disclosed. The new compounds 1 and 2 are highly selective antagonists of the receptor with sub-nanomolar affinities (K-i < 1 nM). In its structure, this new chemotype lacks a basic ionizable side chain, which is considered as the characteristic feature of the 5-HT6 receptor antagonists pharmacophore model.
