A series of thienylmethylphenylpiperazins was synthesized and tested for affinity towards the five subtypes of dopaminergic receptors. Compound 5f showed more than 1000 folds selectivity to D4 receptors; analogue 5e showed the highest affinity to D4 receptors with Ki 3.9 nM. An interactive SAR approach was adopted and lead to compound 14a with Ki (D4) as low as 0.03 nM. Molecular docking studies showed a potential, first to report arene cation interaction between the D4 unique residue Arg-186 and the ligands' arene moiety, explaining the importance of having a strong negative electrostatic potential at this area of the compound structure.

The present invention relates to compounds having pharmacological activity towards the 5-HT7 receptor, especially as agonists, identified by using a pharmacophore and a descriptor's profile filter as well as to pharmaceutical compositions comprising them. These compounds are useful in therapy in particular for the treatment and or prophylaxis of a disease in which 5-HT7 is involved, such as CNS disorders.
