Advances toward new antidepressants beyond SSRIs: 1-aryloxy-3-piperidinylpropan-2-ols with dual 5-HT1A receptor antagonism/SSRI activities. Part 4

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2004 May 17;14(10):2653-6. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2004.02.088.

Abstract

A series of 1-(1H-indol-4-yloxy)-3-(4-arylpiperidinyl)propan-2-ols possessing potent dual 5-HT(1A) receptor antagonism and serotonin reuptake inhibition was discovered. The fused aryl ring moiety contributed to the robust dual activities irrespective of the regiochemistry associated with its connectivity to the piperidine central ring.
