5-HT6 receptor antagonists: lead optimisation and biological evaluation of N-aryl and N-heteroaryl 4-amino-benzene sulfonamides
摘要:
RO-04-6790 (6a) has been identified in a random screen for 5-HT6 receptor antagonists. In a medicinal chemistry optimisation program a series of analogs comprising N-heteroaryl- and N-arylbenzenesulfonamides have been synthesised and investigated for their binding affinity. Compounds with a log D profile indicative of brain penetration have been subjected to in vivo testing for reversal of a scopolamine-induced retention deficit in a passive avoidance paradigm.
