Synthesis of new 1,2,3-benzotriazin-4-one-arylpiperazine derivatives as 5-HT1A serotonin receptor ligands.
A series of novel 1,2,3-benzotriazin-4-one derivatives was prepared and evaluated as ligands for 5-HT receptors. Radioligand binding assays proved that the majority of the novel compounds behaved as good to excellent ligands at the 5-HT1A receptor, some of which were selective with respect 5-HT2A and 5-HT2C receptors. Six analogues (1a, 2a, 2b, 2c, 2e and 2i) were selected and further evaluated for their binding affinities on D1, D2 dopaminergic and alpha1-, alpha2-adrenergic receptors. A o-OCH3 derivative (2e) bound at 5-HT1A sites with subnanomolar affinity (IC50 = 0.059 nM) and shows high selectivity over all considered receptors and may offer a new lead for the development of therapeutically efficacious agents.
