Two types of novel diphenylalkyl piperazine derivatives containing the thio or aminopropanol moiety substituted by phenyl or benzyl group were synthesized, and evaluated for their calcium antagonistic and antioxidative activities. These compounds showed apparent inhibitions against KCl-induced contractions in isolated rat aorta. Among them, phenylamino compound 9 and benzylamino compound 13 also possessed potent inhibitory activities against auto-oxidative lipid peroxidations in canine brain homogenates. Two representative compounds 3a and 9 were evaluated for their inhibitory activities against KCl-induced contractions in isolated canine arteries (basilar, coronary, mesenteric, and renal). Both compounds showed the most potent inhibitions to basilar artery. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
Novel diphenylalkyl piperazine derivatives with high affinities for the dopamine transporter
The novel diphenyl piperazine derivatives containing the phenyl substituted aminopropanol moiety, including 1-[4,4-bis(4-fluorophenyl)butyl]-4-[2-hydroxy-3-(phenylamino)propyl]piperazine 1, which were modified at the connective between the diphenyl and piperazine moieties, have been found to be potent dopamine uptake inhibitors. To study the further structure-activityrelationship (SAR) of these compounds
