名称:
New 2-substituted 1,2,3,4-tetrahydrobenzofuro[3,2- c ]pyridine having highly active and potent central α 2 -antagonistic activity as potential antidepressants
摘要:
The synthesis and biological activity of a series of benzofuro[3,2-c]pyridines and a benzothieno[3,2-c]pyridine are described. These compounds exhibit high affinity for the alpha(2)-adrenoceptor, with high selectivity versus the alpha(1)-receptor. Compound 1 also shows potent in vivo central activity and has been selected for further biological and clinical evaluation. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
