A series of 1-(aryloxypropyl)-4-(chloroaryl) piperazines have been synthesized based upon their physicochemical similarity with respect to standard atypical antipsychotic drugs and their potential to cross the blood-brain barrier (log BB) as calculated by appropriate software programmes. The target compounds were evaluated for atypical antipsychotic activity in apomorphine-induced mesh climbing and stereotypy assays in mice. The compounds 8, 9 and 10 bearing hydrogen bond acceptor substituents have emerged as important lead compounds showing higher efficacy along with potential atypical antipsychotic profile.
