- PREPARATION OF 3-AMINOALKYL-SUBSTITUTED INDOLE DERIVATIVES FROM PHENYLHYDRAZINES AND AMINOKETONES
-
The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of indole derivatives, particularly those, which are useful as pharmaceutical intermediates. The process involves formation of hydrazone derivative between a phenyl hydrazine and a ketone amine, followed by cyclisation to give desired 2,3-substituted indole derivative in the presence of acid catalyst.

- Characterization of the 5-HT7 Receptor. Determination of the Pharmacophore for 5-HT7 Receptor Agonism and CoMFA-Based Modeling of the Agonist Binding Site
-
On the basis of a set of 20 diverse 5-HT7 receptor agonists, the pharmacophore for 5-HT7 receptor agonism was determined. Additionally two CoMFA models were developed, based on different alignments of the agonists. Both models show good correlations between experimental and predictive pKi values and show a high degree of similarity. The CoMFA fields were subsequently used to map the agonist binding site of the model of the 5-HT7 receptor. Important roles in ligand binding are attributed to Asp162 of TM3 (interaction with a protonated nitrogen), and Thr244 of TM5 (interaction with a substituent at an aromatic moiety). Amino acid residues of the aromatic cluster of TM6 are hypothesized to play an important role in ligand binding as π-π stacking moieties. Agonists missing a hydrogen-bond-accepting moiety, but possessing an aromatic substituent instead, seem to bind the receptor with high affinity as well by occupying a lipophilic pocket hosted by residues of TM5 and TM6.

- Indole and indoline derivatives as 5-HT6 selective ligands
-
Three classes of indole and indoline derivatives are disclosed as ligands selective for the 5-HT6receptors, and hence of value in the treatment or prevention of CNS disorders, including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, schizophrenia, depression and anxiety. A particular class, 1-substituted-4-(ω-N,N-dialkyl-aminoalkyl)indoles, are claimed as novel compounds.

- N-arylsulfonylindole derivatives as serotonin 5-HT6 receptor ligands
-
A series of N1-arylsulfonyltryptamines were found to be potent ligands of the human serotonin 5-HT6 receptor with the 5-methoxy-1-benzenesulfonyl analogue (19) having the highest affinity. Additionally, it was discovered that a group such as 3-(3-methoxybenzyl)-1,2,4-oxadiazol-5-yl in the 2-position of the indole ring (43) can replace the arylsulfonyl substituent in the 1-position with no loss of affinity. This suggested that the binding conformation of the aminoethyl side chain at this receptor was toward the 4-position of the indole ring and was supported by the fact that the 4-(aminoethyl)indoles (45) also displayed high affinity, as did the conformationally rigid 1,3,4,5-tetrahydrobenz[c,d]indole (49). Molecular modeling showed that 19, 43, and 45 all had low-energy conformers that overlaid well onto 49. Both 19 and 49 had good selectivity over other serotonin receptors tested, with 49 also showing excellent selectivity over all dopamine receptors. In a functional adenylate cyclase stimulation assay, 19 and 49 had no agonist activity, whereas 45 behaved as a partial agonist. Finally, it was shown that 19 had good activity in the 5-HT2A centrally mediated mescaline-induced head twitch assay, which implies that it is brain-penetrant.
