Abstract
Treating neurological conditions: Optimization of a previously identified lead 5-HT2C agonist (left) led to the discovery of a highly selective 5-HT2C agonist (right). Importantly, this compound is a 5-HT2B receptor antagonist. Because of its selective 5-HT2C receptor activity, the compound was further evaluated in the phencyclidine model of disrupted prepulse inhibition, and found to exhibit normalizing effects comparable to those shown by the 5-HT2C agonist vabicaserin, a drug currently in phase II clinical studies for schizophrenia.
