Following our research project aimed at obtaining new compounds with high affinity and selectivity toward alpha(1)-adrenoceptors (AR), a new class of piperazine derivatives was designed, synthesized and biologically tested. The new compounds 1-13 are characterized by a flavone system linked, through an ethoxy or propoxy spacer, to a phenyl- or pyridazinone-piperazine moiety. Biological data showed an interesting profile for the phenylpiperazine subclass found to have a nanomolar affinity toward alpha(1)-AR, and less pronounced affinity for alpha(2)-AR and the 5-HT1A serotoninergic receptor. A discussion on the structure-activity relationship (SAR) of such compounds is also reported, on the basis of the flavone substitution pattern, length and functionalization of the spacer, and disruption of the phenylpiperazine system.

Abstract

Following our research project aimed at obtaining new compounds with high affinity and selectivity toward alpha(1)-adrenoceptors (AR), a new class of piperazine derivatives was designed, synthesized and biologically tested. The new compounds 1-13 are characterized by a flavone system linked, through an ethoxy or propoxy spacer, to a phenyl- or pyridazinone-piperazine moiety. Biological data showed an interesting profile for the phenylpiperazine subclass found to have a nanomolar affinity toward alpha(1)-AR, and less pronounced affinity for alpha(2)-AR and the 5-HT1A serotoninergic receptor. A discussion on the structure-activity relationship (SAR) of such compounds is also reported, on the basis of the flavone substitution pattern, length and functionalization of the spacer, and disruption of the phenylpiperazine system.
