Abstract:
A selective 5‐HT 1A receptor agonist : A new series of ligands acting at 5‐HT1A serotonin receptor were identified. Among them (2,2‐diphenyl‐1,3]oxathiolan‐5‐yl‐methyl)‐(3‐phenyl‐propyl)amine (shown) possesses outstanding activity (pKi=8.72, pD2=7.67, Emax=85) and selectivity (5‐HT1A/α1D>150), and represents a new 5‐HT1A agonist chemotype.
