title: New 3-[4-(3-substituted phenyl)piperazin-1-yl]-1-(benzo[b]thiophen-3-yl)propanol derivatives with dual action at 5-HT1A serotonin receptors and serotonin transporter as a new class of antidepressants.
abstract: In this paper a series of new 3-[4-(3-substituted phenyl)piperazin-1-yl]-1-(benzo[b]thiophen-3-yl)propanol derivatives is presented as a new class of antidepressant drugs with dual activity at 5-HT1A serotonin receptors and serotonin transporter. The 5-HT1A receptor and 5-HT transporter binding affinities of hydroxylic compounds 4 a-e have been determined. The new compounds present nanomolar affinity for both activities, and 1-(benzo[b]thiophen-3-yl)-3-[4-(3-methoxyphenyl)piperazin-1-yl]propan-1-ol (4d) shows values (nM) of Ki = 86 for 5-HT1A receptors and Ki = 76 for the serotonin transporter, respectively.
