摘要
This report describes the effect of replacing the central basic amine present in many known 5-HT2A ligands with an aromatic residue. We targeted the isomeric phenethylpyridines 2 and 3 and these compounds proved to be excellent leads, possessing good 5-HT2A receptor binding affinity and selectivity over the 5-HT2C subtype. Optimization of one isomer led to the identification of 25, a compound with sub-nanomolar 5-HT2A affinity and selectivity over 5-HT2C of greater than 4600-fold. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ltd.
