Synthesis of novel pyrido[1,2-c]pyrimidine derivatives with 6-fluoro-3-(4-piperidynyl)-1,2-benzisoxazole moiety as potential ssri and 5-ht1a receptor ligands

Two series of novel 4-aryl-2H-pyrido[1,2-c]pyrimidine (6a–i) and 4-aryl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydropyrido[1,2-c]pyrimidine (7a–i) derivatives were synthesized. The chemical structures of the new compounds were confirmed by1H and13C NMR spectroscopy and ESI-HRMS spectrome-try. The affinities of all compounds for the 5-HT1A receptor and serotonin transporter protein (SERT) were determined by in vitro radioligand binding assays. The test compounds demonstrated very high binding affinities for the 5-HT1A receptor of all derivatives in the series (6a–i and 7a–i) and generally low binding affinities for the SERT protein, with the exception of compounds 6a and 7g. Extended affinity tests for the receptors D2, 5-HT2A, 5-HT6 and 5-HT7 were conducted with regard to selected compounds (6a, 7g, 6d and 7i). All four compounds demonstrated very high affinities for the D2 and 5-HT2A receptors. Compounds 6a and 7g also had high affinities for 5-HT7, while 6d and 7i held moderate affinities for this receptor. Compounds 6a and 7g were also tested in vivo to identify their functional activity profiles with regard to the 5-HT1A receptor, with 6a demonstrating the activity profile of a presynaptic agonist. Metabolic stability tests were also conducted for 6a and 6d.

Synthesis of new 5,6,7,8-tetrahydropyrido[1,2-c]pyrimidine derivatives with rigidized tryptamine moiety as potential SSRI and 5-HT1A receptor ligands

Extended studies in the 4-aryl-pyrido[1,2-c]pyrimidine group resulted in 27 new compounds (10.1-10.27), 5,6,7,8-tetrahydropyrido[1,2-c]pyrimidine derivatives. In vitro tests (RBA) were carried out for 10.1-10.27 compounds in order to determine their affinity to 5-HT1A receptor and SERT protein. 10.1-10.3, 10.6, 10.7, 10.16 and 10.27 compounds had high binding ability to both molecular targets (5-HT1A Ki = 8–87 nM; SERT Ki = 8–52 nM). For these compounds (10.1-10.3, 10.6, 10.7, 10.16, 10.27) further in vitro, in vivo and metabolic stability tests were performed. In vitro studies in the extended receptor profile (D2, 5-HT2A, 5-HT6 and 5-HT7) showed their selectivity towards 5-HT1A receptor and SERT protein. In vivo tests revealed that compounds 10.7 and 10.16 had the properties of presynaptic antagonists of the 5-HT1A receptor. The redesign of the 2H-pyrido[1,2-c]pyrimidine residue present in the terminal part towards 5,6,7,8-tetrahydropyrido[1,2-c]pyrimidine resulted in the improved metabolic stability and enhanced affinity to both molecular targets (5-HT1A-R and SERT) compared to the precursors.

Novel 4-aryl-pyrido[1,2-c]pyrimidines with dual SSRI and 5-HT1A activity. part 5

A series of novel 4-aryl-pyrido[1,2-c]pyrimidine derivatives containing a 1-(2-quinoline)piperazine moiety was synthesized. The chemical structure of new compounds was confirmed by FT-IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and HRMS spectra as well as elemental analysis. Affinity of the novel pyrido[1,2-c]pyrimidine derivatives for 5-HT1A, 5-HT2A receptors and serotonin transporter (SERT) was evaluated in an in vitro radioligand binding assay. Tested compounds showed moderate to high affinity for 5-HT1AR and SERT and low affinity for 5-HT2AR. Selected ligands were subjected to in vivo tests, such as induced hypothermia and the forced swimming test in mice, which determined presynaptic agonistic activity of the ligands 8d, 8e, 9d and 9e and presynaptic antagonistic activity of the ligands 8a, 8b, 9a, 9b. Additionally, metabolic stability evaluation was performed for selected ligands, proving that a para-substitution in the 4-aryl-pyrido[1,2-c]pyrimidine moiety leads to an increase in stability, whereas a substitution in the ortho-position lowers the stability.

Novel 4-aryl-pyrido[1,2-c]pyrimidines with dual SSRI and 5-HT1A activity. Part 3

A number of 4-aryl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydropyrido[1,2-c]pyrimidine with 3-(1,2,3,6-tetrahydro-pyridin-4-yl)-1H-indole or 2-methyl-3-(1,2,3,6-tetrahydro- pyridin-4-yl)-1H-indole residues were synthesized for further investigation of SAR in a group of pyrido[1,2-c]pyrimidine derivatives with dual 5-HT 1A/SERT activity. Compounds 8a-8p were found to be potent ligands for both 5-HT1A and SERT with Ki ranging from 28,3 to 642 nM and 42,4 nM-1,8 μM, respectively. Moreover compounds 8a, 8b, 8c, 8d, 8e and 8g were found to be selective agonists, while 8i as an antagonist of 5-HT 1A presynaptic receptors in the inducible hypothermia test in mice.

Novel 4-aryl-pyrido[1,2-c]pyrimidines with dual SSRI and 5-HT1A activity: Part 2

Derivatives of 4-aryl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-pyrido[1,2-c]pyrimidine were synthesized. These compounds contain the 3-(4-piperidyl)-1H-indole residue or its 5-methoxy or 2-methyl derivative. In vitro binding tests were performed to determine the affinity of the compounds for the 5-HT1A receptor and serotonin transporter (SERT) proteins in the rat brain cortex. In vivo studies, particularly the inducible hypothermia test and forced swimming test, were conducted to determine agonistic/antagonistic activity with pre- and postsynaptic 5-HT1A receptors. Molecular modeling techniques were used to determine the binding modes of the selected compounds at the 5-HT1A receptor and SERT. The SAR analysis showed that the presence of the 3-(4-piperidyl)-1H-indole group or its 5-methoxy derivative, as well as a para substitution with -OCH3 or -F in the aryl ring of 4-aryl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-pyrido[1,2-c]pyrimidine, results in an increased affinity for both the 5-HT1A receptors and SERT. In contrast, the presence of the 2-methyl-3-(4-piperidyl)-1H-indole group resulted in a considerable decrease in binding affinity.

Synthesis of new hexahydro- and octahydropyrido[1,2-c]pyrimidine derivatives with an arylpiperazine moiety as ligands for 5-HT1A and 5-HT2A receptors. Part III

The preparation of new 4-aryl-hexahydropyrido[1,2-c]pyrimidine derivatives III-XXVI with an arylpiperazinylbutyl moiety in N-2 position has been described. Multi-stage synthesis techniques were used to obtain 4-arylhexahydro-1H,3H- pyrido[1,2-c]pyrimidine-1,3-dione Ia-f derivatives, being the starting compounds for further modification. N-alkylation of the imide group in compounds Ia-f followed, using 1,4-dibromobutane to yield bromobutyl derivatives IIa-f. The final products III-XXVI were obtained by condensation of aryl- or heteroaryl- piperazine with the bromobutyl derivatives IIa-f. Compounds XII, XIV, XIX, XX, XXIV-XXVI will be submitted to a pharmacological investigation for their affinity towards 5-HT1A, 5-HT2A and α1 adrenergic receptor, using radioligand binding assay.
