Abstract

On the basis of the structure–activity relationship (SAR) of 4-chloro-6-nitroquipazine (Ki= 0.03 nM) and 3-fluoropropyl-6-nitroquipazine (Ki= 0.32 nM), 3-alkyl-4-halo-6-nitroquipazines were synthesized and tested for their potential abilities in vitro to displace [3H] citalopram binding to the rat cortical membranes. Binding affinities of 3b and 4d were Ki= 2.70±0.32 and 2.23±0.46 nM, respectively. The syntheses of 3-alkyl-4-halo-6-nitroquipazine, their in ...
