Arylpiperazine-containing pyrrole 3-carboxamide derivatives targeting serotonin 5-HT2A, 5-HT2C, and the serotonin transporter as a potential antidepressant
摘要:
Arylpiperzine-containing pyrrole 3-carboxamide derivatives were synthesized and evaluated as novel antidepressant compounds. The various analogues were efficiently prepared and bio-assayed for binding to 5-HT2A, 5-HT2C receptor, and 5-HT transporter. Based on their in vitro and in vivo activities as well as selectivity over other neurotransmitter receptors and PK profiles, 33 and 34 were identified as lead compounds. Consequently, this pyrrole series of compounds appears to be promising enough to warrant further investigation. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
Further optimization of novel pyrrole 3-carboxamides for targeting serotonin 5-HT2A, 5-HT2C, and the serotonin transporter as a potential antidepressant
摘要:
In the continuing search for novel compounds targeting serotonin 5-HT2A, 5-HT2C, and serotonin transporter, new arylpiperazine-containing pyrrole 3-carboxamide derivatives were synthesized and evaluated. Based on the lead reported previously, structural modifications regarding N-(3-(4-(2,3-dichlorophenyl)piperazin-1-yl)propyl)-1,2-dimethyl-5-phenyl-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxamide 5, were accomplished for improvements in not only binding affinity against serotonin receptors and transporter, but also in hERG channel inhibition. Along the line, both the forced swimming tests and spontaneous locomotor activity tests were performed to distinguish between antidepressant activity and false positive results. As potential antidepressant agents, both 2,4-dimethyl-5-phenyl-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxamide and 5-tert-butyl-2-methyl-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxamide derivatives exhibited favorable in vitro and in vivo activities, warranting further investigation around these scaffolds.

AbstractAn efficient and rapid synthesis of 1,2,3,5-tetrasubstituted pyrrole derivatives from a one-pot multicomponent reaction of amines, 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds, and α-haloketones in the presence of ZnO nanoparticles catalyst under ultrasonic irradiation and solvent-free conditions is described.
