Abstract
A series of 1-(aryloxypropyl)-4-(chloroaryl) piperazines have been synthesized based upon their physicochemical similarity with respect to standard atypical antipsychotic drugs and their potential to cross the blood–brain barrier (log BB) as calculated by appropriate software programmes. The target compounds were evaluated for atypical antipsychotic activity in apomorphine-induced mesh climbing and stereotypy assays in mice. The compounds 8, 9 and 10 bearing hydrogen bond acceptor substituents have emerged as important lead compounds showing higher efficacy along with potential atypical antipsychotic profile.
