title: Rational design, synthesis and evaluation of (6aR( *),11bS( *))-1-(4-fluorophenyl)-4-{7-[4-(4-fluorophenyl)-4-oxobutyl]1,2,3,4,6,6a,7,11b,12,12a(RS)-decahydropyrazino[2',1':6,1]pyrido[3,4-b]indol-2-yl}-butan-1-one as a potential neuroleptic agent.
abstract: In our pursuit to prepare a potent antipsychotic compound, a novel 1,2,3,4,6,6a,7,11b,12,12a-decahydropyrazino[2',1':6,1]pyrido[3,4-b]indole derivative was synthesized which incorporates the butyrophenone substructure twice. This molecule has shown D(1), D(2) and 5-HT(2A) receptor blocking activity where the ratio pK(i) (5-HT(2A)) to pK(i) (D(2)) is 1.42 better than risperidone (1.15). It blocks amphetamine induced hyperactivity/stereotypy and secondary conditioned avoidance responses in rodents at lower doses than those required for the neuroleptic drugs haloperidol and centbutindole (biriperone).
