Synthesis of new pyridazinone derivatives and their affinity towards alpha1-alpha2-adrenoceptors.
A series of 3(2H)-pyridazinone derivatives was evaluated for their affinity in vitro towards alpha1-alpha2-adrenoceptors by radioligand receptor binding assays. All target compounds showed good affinities for the alpha1-adrenoceptor (with Ki values in the subnanomolar range), and a gradual increase in affinity was observed by increasing the polymethylene chain length of this series up to a maximum of six and seven carbon atoms, when the fragment 4-[2-(2-methoxyphenoxy)-ethyl]-1-piperazinyl is linked in 5 position of the 3(2H)-pyridazinone ring, while a slight decrease was found for the higher homologues. Increasing the chain length when the 4-[2-(2-methoxyphenoxy)-ethyl]-1-piperazinyl group is linked in 6 position of the 3(2H)-pyridazinone ring, had a different effect: there is the highest affinity when the polymethylene chain is of four carbon atoms. The alkylic chain, a spacer between the two major constituents of the molecule, can influence the affinity and the selectivity.
