Design, synthesis and pharmacological evaluation of indolylsulfonamide amines as potent and selective 5-HT6 receptor antagonists.

A series of N'-[3-(indole-1-sulfonyl) aryl]-N,N-dimethyl ethane-1,2-diamines and N'-[3-(indole-1-sulfonyl) aryl]-N,N-dimethyl propane-1,3-diamines was designed and synthesized as 5-HT6 receptor ligands. These compounds, when screened in a functional reporter gene-based assay, displayed potent antagonistic activity with Kb values in the range of 1.8-60 nM.

Design, synthesis and pharmacological evaluation of conformationally restricted N-arylsulfonyl-3-aminoalkoxy indoles as a potential 5-HT6 receptor ligands.

A series of novel conformationally restricted N(1)-arylsulfonyl-3-aminoalkoxy indoles were designed and synthesized as 5-HT(6) receptor (5-HT(6)R) ligands. Many of the synthesized compounds have moderate in vitro-binding affinities at 5-HT(6)R. The lead compound 8b (% inhibition = 97.

Indole-3-piperazinyl derivatives: novel chemical class of 5-HT(6) receptor antagonists.

N(1)-Arylsulfonyl-3-piperazinyl indole derivatives were designed and identified as a novel class of 5-HT(6) receptors ligands. All the compounds have high affinity and antagonist activity towards 5-HT(6) receptor. The compound 7a (K(i) = 3.

Synthesis and pharmacological evaluation of aryl aminosulfonamide derivatives as potent 5-HT(6) receptor antagonists.

A series of novel aryl aminosulfonamides was designed and synthesized as 5-HT(6) receptor ligands. Many compounds screened in a functional reporter gene based assay displayed potent antagonistic activity with Kb values in the range of 0.02-10nM.
