Novel compounds combining a 5-HT1A moiety (3-aminochroman scaffold) and a 5-HT transporter (indole analogues) linked through a common basic nitrogen via an alkyl chain attached at the 1-or 3-position of the indole were evaluated for dual affinity at both the 5-HT reuptake site and the 5-HT1A receptor. Compounds of most interest were found to have a 5- carbamoyl-8-fluoro-3-amino-3, 4-dihydro-2 H-1-benzopyran linked to a 3-alkylindole ( ...
