A series of arylpiperazinylbutyl derivatives of 4,5-dihydro-1,2,4-triazine-6(1H)-ones was designed and synthesized according to the new solid-supported methodology. In this approach, triazinone scaffold was constructed from the Fmoc-protected glycine. The library representatives showed different levels of affinity for 5-HT7 and 5-HT1A receptors; compounds 13, 14 and 18-20 were classified as dual 5-HT7 /5-HT1A receptors ligands. The structure-affinity relationship analysis revealed that the receptor affinity and selectivity of the tested compounds depended on the kind of substituent in position 3 of triazinone fragment as well as substitution pattern of the phenylpiperazine moiety.
Keywords: 5-HT1ARs ligands; 5-HT7Rs ligands; long-chain arylpiperazines; solid-phase synthesis; triazinones.
