Abstract

A series of 1-aryloxy-3-piperidinylpropan-2-ols possessing potent dual 5-HT(1A) receptor antagonism and serotonin reuptake inhibition was discovered. Modification of potential metabolic sites of 1-(1H-indol-4-yloxy)-3-(4-benzo[b]thiophen-2-ylpiperidinyl)propan-2-ols further improved the in vitro binding affinities and functional antagonism.
