Tetrahydrothienopyridylbutyl-tetrahydrobenzindoles: new selective ligands of the 5-HT(7) receptor.
The synthesis and the affinity for the 5-HT(7) receptor and other receptors of a novel series of fused-ring tetrahydropyridine derivatives are described. Some of the compounds showed high affinity for the 5-HT(7) receptor. Tetrahydrothienopyridylbutyl-tetrahydrobenzindoles and are potent ligands for the 5-HT(7) receptor, with high selectivity over the 5-HT(2) receptor and other receptors. These compounds should be useful tools for clarifying the biological role of the 5-HT(7) receptor.
