Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2007 Jun 1;17(11):3117-21. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2007.03.049. Epub 2007 Mar 19.

Abstract

Structural modifications of the initial lead, 3-aminochroman (4), led to the identification of a novel series of pyridyl-fused amino chroman derivatives (5-8) and the structural isomers (9-12). The compounds described were evaluated for dual 5-HT transporter inhibitory and 5-HT(1A) receptor activities. The design strategy, synthesis, and in vitro biological characterization for these novel compounds are described.
