| Abstract: | The tachykinin NK1 and NK3 receptors are a novel drug target for schizophrenia in order to treat not only the positive and cognitive symptoms, but also the associated co-morbid depression and sleep disturbances associated with the disease. A novel class of peptidomimetic derivatives based on a versatile phenylglycine central core was synthesized and tested in vitro as dual NK1/NK3 receptor antagonists. From this series emerged compounds with good NK1 receptor affinity, although only modest dual NK1/NK3 receptor affinity was observed with one of these analogs. |
