Abstract

Long-chain arylpiperazines with a general structure presented in Figure 1 are the largest class of 5-HT1A serotonin receptor ligands [1-4]. An Ar group attached to N1 of a piperazine moiety is usually a substituted phenyl or heteroaromatic (one or two rings) system. With regard to the alkyl chain, two to four methylene groups (n= 0–2) are optimal for 5-HT1A activity. The terminus usually contains an amide or an imide function, but neither is ...
