Abstract : Compounds 7, 8, and 9, derived from the novel scaffolds 3, 5, and 6, were synthesized and evaluated in vitro. The b,c→c,d shift of the E-phenyl ring resulted in a large decrease (ca. 20- to 1000-fold) in binding to the 5-HT2A, 5-HT2C and H2, receptors, and a modest decrease (ca. 10- to 20-fold) in binding to the 5-HT5A, D2, D5, and α1D, receptors. The b,c→d,e shift resulted in a large decrease in binding to the 5-HT1D, 5-HT2C, 5-HT6, and H1 receptors, a modest decrease in binding to 5-HT1A, 5-HT5A and D2, D5, α2B, and H2 receptors, and a large increase in affinity to the 5-HT3, 5-HT6, and σ1 receptors.
