Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2009 Sep 15;19(18):5346-50. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2009.07.133. Epub 2009 Aug 6.

Abstract

This Letter reports the design and synthesis of several novel series of piperazinyl pyrimidinones as 5-HT(2C) agonists. Several of the compounds presented exhibit good in vitro potency and selectivity over the closely related 5-HT(2A) and 5-HT(2B) receptors. Compound 11 was active in in vivo models of stress urinary incontinence.
