Far Away from Flatland. Synthesis and Molecular Structure of Dihetera[3.3.]propellanes and Trihetera[3.3.]propellanes: Advanced Analogues of Morpholine/Piperazine.

An approach to di- and trihetera[3.3.]propellanes ( = 2-4 ), advanced morpholine and piperazine analogues, is developed.

Synthesis and biological study of 3-(phenylsulfonyl)thieno[2,3-e][1,2,3]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines as potent and selective serotonin 5-HT6 receptor antagonists.

A number of 3-(phenylsulfonyl)thieno[2,3-e][1,2,3]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines were prepared and their 5-HT6 receptor binding affinity and ability to inhibit the functional cellular responses to serotonin were evaluated. 3-[(3-chlorophenyl)sulfonyl]-N-(tetrahydrofuran-2-ylmethyl)thieno[2,3-e][1,2,3]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin-5-amine 2{5,26} appeared to be the most active in a functional assay (IC50=29.0 nM) and 3-(phenylsulfonyl)-N-(2-thienylmethyl) thieno[2,3-e][1,2,3]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin-5-amine 2{1,28} demonstrated the greatest affinity in a 5-HT6 receptor radioligand binding assay (Ki=1.

Solution phase parallel synthesis of substituted 3-phenylsulfonyl-[1,2,3]triazolo[1,5-a]quinazolines: selective serotonin 5-HT(6) receptor antagonists.

Here we present the solution phase parallel synthesis of a combinatorial library consisting of 776 new substituted 3-phenylsulfonyl-[1,2,3]triazolo[1,5-a]quinazolines and a study of the relation of their structure with a 5-HT(6) receptor antagonistic activity in a functional cell (HEK 293) analysis and radioligand competitive binding. We have found highly active and selective 5-HT(6)R antagonists. The most active 5-HT(6)R antagonists have IC(50) <100 nM in a functional assay, and K(i) <10 nM in a binding assay, which is 100 times higher than the activity with respect to other serotonin receptors.
