We described herein the design, synthesis, and pharmacological evaluation of N-phenylpiperazine heterocyclic derivatives as multi-target compounds potentially useful for the treatment of schizophrenia. The isosteric replacement of the heterocyclic ring at the biaryl motif generating pyrazole, 1,2,3-triazole, and 2-methylimidazole[1,2-a]pyridine derivatives resulted in 21 analogues with different substitutions at the para-biaryl and para-phenylpiperazine positions. Among the compounds prepared, 4 (LASSBio-579) and 10 (LASSBio-664) exhibited an adequate binding profile and a potential for schizophrenia positive symptoms treatment without cataleptogenic effects. Structural features of this molecular scaffold are discussed regarding binding affinity and selectivity for D-2-like, 5-HT1A, and 5-HT2A receptors. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
