title: Synthesis of some substituted pyrazinopyridoindoles and 3D QSAR studies along with related compounds: piperazines, piperidines, pyrazinoisoquinolines, and diphenhydramine, and its semi-rigid analogs as antihistamines (H1).
abstract: 3D QSAR studies on the title compounds led to the development of a model with three biophoric sites and six secondary sites viz. H-acceptor (ACC), H-donor (DON), heteroatom (presence), hydrophobic (hydrophobicity), steric (refractivity), and a ring (presence) along with total hydrophobicity and total refractivity as global properties. The model predicted the test set of compounds reasonably well. Three of the five newly synthesized 2-substituted octahydropyrazinopyridoindoles have shown potent antihistaminic H(1) activity with less toxicity and sedation potential.
