Dual-acting agents with alpha1-adrenoceptor antagonistic and steroid 5alpha-reductase inhibitory activities. Synthesis and evaluation of arylpiperazine derivatives

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 1999 Jun 7;9(11):1553-8. doi: 10.1016/s0960-894x(99)00230-9.

Abstract

A series of arylpiperazine derivatives were prepared and evaluated for their alpha1-adrenoceptor antagonistic activities and 5alpha-reductase inhibitory activities. SAR study led to the identification of the potent dual-acting compound 2f, which had a pA2 value of 7.5 for alpha1-adrenoceptor antagonism and an IC50 value of 1.5 nM for 5alpha-reductase inhibition.
