A series of 4-amino-5-chloro-2-methoxy-N-(piperidin-4-ylmethyl)benzamides with a polar substituent group at the 1-position of the piperidine ring was synthesized and evaluated for its effect on gastrointestinal motility. The benzoyl, phenylsulfonyl, and benzylsulfonyl derivatives accelerated gastric emptying and increased the frequency of defecation. One of them, 4-amino-N-[1-[3-(benzylsulfonyl)propyl]piperidin-4-ylmethyl]-5-chloro-2- methoxybenzamide (13a, Y-36912), was a selective 5-HT4 receptor agonist offering potential as a novel prokinetic with reduced side effects derived from 5-HT3- and dopamine D2 receptor-binding affinity. In the oral route of administration, this compound enhanced gastric emptying and defecation in mice, and has a possibility as a prokinetic agent, which is effective on both the upper and the lower gastrointestinal tract.
