A series of arylsulfonamide derivatives of (aryloxy)ethyl pyrrolidines and piperidines was synthesized to develop new α1-adrenoceptor antagonists with uroselective profile. Biological evaluation for α1- and α2-adrenorecepor showed that tested compounds 13–37 displayed high-to-moderate affinity for the α1-adrenoceptor (Ki=34–348nM) and moderate selectivity over α2-receptor subtype. Compounds with highest affinity and selectivity for α1-adrenoceptor were evaluated in vitro for their intrinsic activity toward α1A- and α1B-adrenoceptor subtypes. All compounds behaved as antagonists at both α1-adrenoceptor subtypes, displaying 2- to 6-fold functional preference to α1A-subtype. Among them, N-{1-[2-(2-methoxyphenoxy)ethyl]piperidin-4-yl}isoquinoline-4-sulfonamide (25) and 3-chloro-2-fluoro-N-{[1-(2-(2-isopropoxyphenoxy)ethyl)piperidin-4-yl]methyl}benzene sulfonamide (34) displayed the highest preference to α1A-adrenoceptor. Finally, compounds 25 and 34 (2–5mg/kg, iv), in contrast to tamsulosin (1–2mg/kg, iv), did not significantly decrease systolic and diastolic blood pressure in normotensive anesthetized rats to determine their influence on blood pressure.
