SAR studies on new bis-aryls 5-HT7 ligands: Synthesis and molecular modeling

Bioorg Med Chem. 2010 Mar 1;18(5):1958-67. doi: 10.1016/j.bmc.2010.01.035. Epub 2010 Jan 18.

Abstract

Structure-activity relationships of a series of bis-arylic compounds, investigated as 5-HT(7)R ligands, are reported. The main structural modifications involved a central aryl moiety (phenyl, pyridine, diazine, triazine) and the nature and position of an amine-containing aliphatic chain. The affinity of the synthesized compounds (26 nM-10 microM) was systematically correlated with other previously reported series of bis-arylic ligands and rationalized by a ligand-based pharmacophore approach.
