SAR development of a selective 5-HT1D antagonist/serotonin reuptake inhibitor lead using rapid parallel synthesis.

Incorporation of an SRI (serotonin reuptake inhibitor) pharmacophore into a selective 5-HT(1D) agonist has led to the discovery of a molecule having both 5-HT(1D) antagonist and SRI activity. RPS methodology was used to develop the SAR and identify potential approaches to reduce unwanted adrenergic alpha 1 and dopamine D(2) cross-reactivities.
