Multitarget 1,4-Dioxane Compounds Combining Favorable D2-like and 5-HT1A Receptor Interactions with Potential for the Treatment of Parkinson's Disease or Schizophrenia.


ABSTRACT: The effect of methoxy and hydroxy substitutions in different positions of the phenoxy moiety of the N-((6,6-diphenyl-1,4-dioxan-2-yl)methyl)-2-phenoxyethan-1-amine scaffold on the affinity/activity for D2-like, 5-HT1A, and α1-adrenoceptor subtypes was evaluated. Multitarget compounds with suitable combinations of dopaminergic and serotoninergic profiles were discovered. In particular, the 2-methoxy derivative 3 showed a multitarget combination of 5-HT1A/D4 agonism and D2/D3/5-HT2A antagonism, which may be a favorable profile for the treatment of schizophrenia. Interestingly, the 3-hydroxy derivative 8 behaved as a partial agonist at D2 and as a potent full agonist at D3 and D4
