Abstract

Unichiral 8-substituted analogues of 2-[(2-(2, 6-dimethoxyphenoxy) ethyl) aminomethyl]-1, 4- benzodioxane (WB4101) were synthesized and tested for binding affinity at cloned human α1a-, α1b-and α1d-adrenoreceptor (α1a-, α1b-and α1d-AR) and at native rat 5-HT1A receptor and for antagonist affinity at α1A-, α1B-and α1D-AR and at α2A/D-AR. Among the selected 8-substituents, namely fluorine, chlorine, methoxyl and hydroxyl, only the last ...
