| Abstract: | We here report on the synthesis and binding properties at 5-HT(7) and 5-HT(1A) receptors of ligands 3-12, that were designed according to the 'bivalent ligand' approach. Two moieties of the 5-HT(7)/5-HT(1A) ligand 4-[2-(3-methoxyphenyl)ethyl]-1-(2-methoxyphenyl)piperazine (1) were linked through their 3-methoxy substituent by polymethylene chains of variable length, with the aim to increase the affinity for 5-HT(7) receptor and the selectivity over 5-HT(1A) receptors. In the best cases, the dimers showed affinities for 5-HT(7) receptors as high as the monomer with no improvement in selectivity. Some dimers displayed 5-HT(1A) receptor affinities slightly higher than monomer 1. |
