- Synthesis, Biological, and Computational Evaluation of Substituted 1-(2-Methoxyphenyl)-4-(1-phenethylpiperidin-4-yl)piperazines and 1-(2-Methoxyphenyl)-4-[(1-phenethylpiperidin-4-yl)methyl]piperazines as Dopaminergic Ligands
-
Sixteen new 1-(2-methoxyphenyl)-4-(1-phenethylpiperidin-4-yl)piperazines and 1-(2-methoxyphenyl)-4-[(1-phenethylpiperidin-4-yl)methyl]piperazines were synthesized to be used as probes for mapping the dopamine D2 receptor (D2DAR) arylpiperazine binding site. All compounds were evaluated for their affinity toward D2DAR in an in vitro competitive displacement assay. The most active one was 1-(2-methoxyphenyl)-4-{[1-(3-nitrophenethyl)piperidin-4-yl]methyl}piperazine (25) with an affinity of Ki = 54 nM. Docking analysis was conducted on all herein described compounds, whereas molecular dynamic simulation was performed on ligand 25 to establish its mode of interaction with D2DAR. Two possible docking orientations are proposed; the one with a salt bridge between the piperidine moiety and Asp114 of D2DAR is more stable.

- Process for the manufacture of brofaromine and analogs thereof
-
A process for the manufacture of brofaromine and analogues thereof by reaction of a trisubstitued phosphonium methyl dihydroquinone compound with a 1-(substituted carbonyl)-4-(substituted carbonyl)-piperidine with subsequent cyclization and hydrolysis of the remaining carbonyl substituent. The resulting prmary compound can be further interconverted between free and salt forms or between different salt forms as desired.
