-
, (2008/06/13)
An ethylamine derivative of formula (I): STR1 wherein A represents a carbon atom or a nitrogen atom; B represents a substituted or unsubstituted aralkyl or aryl group; C represents hydrogen, alkyl, aralkyl, or aryl, each of which may optionally be substituted or C may optionally be bonded to A to form an alkylene bridge which is optionally substituted, Q represents a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group, said group optionally being substituted by hetero atom(s) or substituent(s) optionally containing hetero atom(s); and X represents an alkylene bridge having from 2 to 20 carbon atoms and is optionally substituted with groups which include hetero atoms with the non-hetero atom substituents optionally containing hetero atoms.

Ketanserin is the prototypic 5-HT2 serotonin antagonist; although it has been an important tool for the study of serotonin pharmacology, it has had relatively little impact on drug design because remarkably little is known about its structure-affinity relationships.Furthermore, ketanserin also binds at 5-HT1C receptors and even less is known about the influence of its structural features on 5-HT1C receptor affinity.The present study reveals that the fluoro and carbonyl groups of the 4-fluorobenzoyl portion of ketanserin make small contributions to 5-HT2 binding and that the intact benzoylpiperidine moiety is an important feature.Ring opening of the piperidine ring reduces affinity.Although the quinazoline-2,4-dione moiety also contributes to binding, it appears to play a smaller role and can be structurally simplified with retention of 5-HT2 affinity.N-(4-Phenylbutyl)-4-(4-fluorobenzoyl)piperidine (39), for example, binds with nearly tha same affinity (Ki=5.3 nM) as ketanserin (Ki=3.5 nM).All of the compounds examined bind at 5-HT1C sites with lower affinity than ketanserin, and some of the simplified analogues bind with nearly 10 times the 5-HT2 versus 5-HT1C selectivity of ketanserin; however, none displays > 120 fold selectivity.Several of the compounds, such as the amide 32 and the urea 33 represent examples of new structural classes of 5-HT2 ligands.
