title: Design and synthesis of benzofuranic derivatives as new ligands at the melatonin-binding site MT3.
abstract: Benzofuranic analogues of MCA-NAT (5-methoxycarbonylamino-N-acetyltryptamine) have been synthesized and evaluated as melatonin receptor ligands. Introduction of a methoxycarbonylamino substituent in the C-5 position of the benzofurane nucleus obtains MT(3) selective ligands. This selectivity can be modulated with suitable variations of the C-5 position and the acyl group on the C-3 side chain.
