N-(Arylcyclopropyl)acetamides and N-(arylvinyl)acetamides or methyl ureas have been prepared as constrained analogues of melatonin. The affinity of these new compounds for chicken brain melatonin receptors and recombinant human MT1 and MT2 receptors was evaluated using 2-[ 125I]-iodomelatonin as radioligand. Strict ethylenic or cyclopropyl analogues of the commercialized agonist agomelatine (Valdoxan) were equipotent to agomelatine in binding bioassays. However, the ethylenic analogue was more effective than the cyclopropyl one in the melanophore aggregation bioassay, but was still less potent than the disubstituted 2,7-dimethoxy- naphtalenic compounds.

N,N-Dialkylated monophenolic derivatives of trans-2-phenylcyclopropylamine were synthesized and tested for central 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) and dopamine (DA) receptor stimulating activity by use of a biochemical test method in rats. A hydroxy substituent in the 2- or 3-position of the phenyl ring was required for 5-HT-receptor stimulation. N,N-Diethyl or N,N-di-n-propyl substitution gave the most potent 5-HT-receptor agonists. The 4-hydroxy and 3,4-dihydroxy derivatives of trans-2-phenyl-N,N-di-n-propylcyclopropylamine were inactive at central DA and 5-HT receptors. In contrast, the corresponding 3-hydroxy derivative 18 and some of its derivatives weakly affected both DA and NE synthesis. Two of the most potent 5-HT-receptor agonists, trans-2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-N,N-di-n-propylcyclopropylamine (8) and the 3-hydroxy isomer 18 were resolved into the enantiomers. The 1R,2S enantiomers of 8 and 18 displayed 5-HT activity, while the 1S,2R enantiomers were inactive. Compound (1R,2S)-18, but not (1R,2S)-8, weakly affected rat brain DA and NE synthesis.
