It is suggested that the ratio of dopamine D2 to 5-hydroxytryptamine 5-HT1A activity is an important parameter that determines the efficiency of antipsychotic drugs. Here we present the synthesis of N-{[2-(4-phenyl-piperazin-1-yl)-ethyl]-phenyl}-2-aryl-2-yl-acetamides and 1-{[2-(4-phenyl-piperazin-1-yl)-ethyl]-phenyl}-3-aryl-2-yl-ureas and their structure-activity relationship studies on dopamine D2 and 5-hydrohytryptamine 5-HT1A receptors. It was shown that ligand selectivity and affinity strongly depends on their topology and the presence of a pyridyl group in the head of molecules. Molecular modeling studies using homology modeling and docking simulation revealed a rational explanation for the ligand behavior. The observed binding modes and receptor-ligand interactions provided us with a clue for optimizing the optimal selectivity towards 5-HT 1A receptors.
