Abstract

A series of novel 4-butyl-arylpiperazine-3-(1H-indol-3-yl)pyrrolidine-2,5-dione derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for their 5-HT1A/D2 receptor affinity and serotonin reuptake inhibition. The compounds exhibited high affinity for the 5-HT1A receptor, (especially 4dKi=0.4nM) which depended on the substitution pattern at the phenylpiperazine moiety. From this series screen, compound 4c emerged with promising mixed receptor profiles for the 5-HT1A/D2 receptors and the serotonin transporter (Ki=1.3nM, 182nM and 64nM, respectively).
