Synthesis and activity of di- or trisubstituted N-(phenoxyalkyl)- or N-{2-[2-(phenoxy)ethoxy]ethyl}piperazine derivatives on the central nervous system

Aim of the study was evaluation of anxiolytic, antidepressant, anticonvulsant and analgesic activity in a series of a consistent group of compounds. A series of eleven new N-(phenoxyalkyl)- or N-{2-[2-(phenoxy)ethoxy]ethyl}piperazine derivatives has been obtained. Their affinity towards 5-HT1A, 5-HT2A, 5-HT6, 5-HT7, D2 and α1 receptors has been assessed, and then functional assays were performed. The compounds were evaluated in mice, i.p. for their antidepressant-like (forced swim test), locomotor, anxiolytic-like (four-plate test) activities as well as – at higher doses – for anticonvulsant potential (MES) and neurotoxicity (rotarod). Two compounds (3, 6) were also evaluated for their analgesic activity in neuropathic pain models (streptozocin test, oxaliplatin test) and they were found active against allodynia in diabetic neuropathic pain at 30 mg/kg. Among the compounds, anxiolytic-like, anticonvulsant or analgesic activity was observed but antidepressant-like activity was not. One of the two most interesting compounds is 1-{2-[2-(2,4,6-trimethylphenoxy)ethoxy]ethyl}-4-(2-methoxyphenyl)piperazine dihydrochloride (9), exhibiting anxiolytic and anticonvulsant activity in mice, i.p. 30 min after administration (at 2.5 mg/kg and ED50 = 26.33 mg/kg, respectively), which can be justified by the receptor profile: 5-HT1A Ki = 5 nM (antagonist), 5-HT7 Ki = 70 nM, α1 Ki = 15 nM, D2 Ki = 189 nM (antagonist). Another interesting compound is 1-[3-(2,4,6-trimethylphenoxy)propyl]-4-(4-methoxyphenyl)piperazine dihydrochloride (3), exhibiting anxiolytic, anticonvulsant and antiallodynic activity in mice, i.p., 30 min after administration (at 10 mg/kg, ED50 = 23.50 mg/kg, at 30 mg/kg, respectively), which can be related with 5-HT1A weak antagonism (Ki = 146 nM), or other possible mechanism of action, not evaluated within presented study. Additionally, for the most active compound in the four-plate test (7), molecular modeling was performed (docking to receptors 5-HT1A, 5-HT2A, 5-HT7, D2 and α1A).

Preliminary evaluation of anticonvulsant activity and neurotoxicity of some 1,4-substituted piperazine derivatives

A series of 1,4-piperazine derivatives was synthesized and evaluated for anticonvulsant activity in the maximal electroshock seizure (MES) and subcutaneous pentylenetetrazole seizure threshold (ScMet) assays and for neurotoxicity (TOX). The compounds were only moderately effective. The anticonvulsant activity was accompanied by neurotoxicity. 1-[(4-Chlor-3- methylphenoxy)-acetyl]-4-(2-methoxyphenyl)-piperazine was also evaluated in six hertz seizure test (6-Hz) and showed good activity. At the dose of 100 mg/kg b. w. the compound produced 100% protection after 0.5 h without neurotoxic effect.

A simple modification of the known preparation procedure of 2-Phenoxyethyl bromides providing high yields

A modification of preparation method was developed for synthesis of a number of 1-bromo-2-phenoxyethanes from 1,2-dibromoethanes and sodium phenolates in two-phase water-organic system with or without addition of triethylbenzylammonium chloride as phase-transfer catalyst. Addition of NaOH in two portions for transforming phenols into phenolates ensured high yields (60-80%) of phenoxylation products.
