  • Patent number: 7488730
    Abstract: A series of N-(1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalen-1-yl)-4-aryl-1-piperazinealkylamides was prepared and their affinity for serotonin 5-HT7, 5-HT1A, and 5-HT2A receptors was measured using in vitro binding assays. In relation to 5-HT7 receptor affinity, receptor binding studies indicated that: (i) the optimal alkyl chain length was five methylenes; (ii) an unsubstituted 1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalenyl nucleus was selected for further substitutions; and (iii) the substitution pattern of the aryl ring linked to the piperazine ring played a significant role. Several compound with high affinity for 5-HT7 receptors were identified.
