- Design, synthesis and docking study of 4-arylpiperazine carboxamides as monoamine neurotransmitters reuptake inhibitors
-
Rational drug design method has been used to generate 4-arylpiperazine carboxamides in an effort to develop safer, more potent and effective monoamine neurotransmitters reuptake inhibitors. Out of twenty-seven synthesized compounds, compound 9 displayed potent monoamine neurotransmitter reuptake inhibitory activity against HEK cells transfected with hSERT or hNET. A Surflex-Dock docking model of 9 was also studied.

- Design, synthesis, and systematic evaluation of 4-arylpiperazine- and 4-benzylpiperidine napthyl ethers as inhibitors of monoamine neurotransmitters reuptake
-
Two series of 4-arylpiperazine- and 4-benzylpiperidine naphthyl ethers were designed based on structure-activity relationship (SAR) and docking model of reported monoamine neurotransmitters reuptake inhibitors. The compounds were synthesized in 3-simple steps and their biological activities were evaluated. Several compounds were proven to be potent inhibitors of serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake. Computer docking was performed to study the interaction of the most potent compound 35 with human serotonin transporter. The results of the analyses suggest that 4-arylpiperazine- and 4-benzylpiperidine naphthyl ethers might be promising antidepressants worthy of further studies.

- Exploration of substituted arylpiperazine–tetrazoles as promising dual norepinephrine and dopamine reuptake inhibitors
-
In the search for potent dual norepinephrine and dopamine reuptake inhibitors, several substituted arylpiperazine–tetrazoles were designed, synthesized and evaluated for their neurotransmitter reuptake inhibitory activities. Various derivatives exhibited selective and strong neurotransmitter reuptake inhibitory activity. In particular, compounds with a three-carbon linker displayed selective and stronger potency than those with two-carbon and four-carbon linkers. Interestingly, six compounds, 9b, 9c, 9d, 9o, 9q and 9u displayed more effective activity than the standard drug, bupropion. The provided SAR data and potent biological activity can offer useful guidelines for designing dual norepinephrine and dopamine reuptake inhibitors as effective therapeutic agents for treatment of several central nervous system diseases.

- Design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of arylpiperazine-benzylpiperidines with dual serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitory activities
-
The limitations of established serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) and norepinephrine (NE) reuptake inhibitors necessitate the development of safer and more effective therapeutic agents. Based on the structures of 4-benzylpiperidine carboxamides and trazodone, arylpiperazine-benzylpiperidines with chemical scaffolds different from those of marketed drugs were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their neurotransmitter reuptake inhibitory activities. The majority of the synthesized compounds showed greater NE than 5-HT reuptake inhibition. The activities were even greater than those of the standard drug, venlafaxine hydrochloride were. The derivatives with a three-carbon linker showed better activities than the derivatives with a two-carbon linker. Among the newly synthesized compounds, 2d exhibited the strongest reuptake inhibition of the neurotransmitters (IC50 = 0.38 μM for NE and 1.18 μM for 5-HT). The biological activity data demonstrate that arylpiperazine-benzylpiperidines have the potential to be developed as a new class of therapeutic agents to treat neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative disorders.
