    Abstract:
    Conformational restriction of naftopidil proved to be compatible with binding at alpha(1) adrenoceptor subtypes and 5-HT receptor 1A (5-HT(1A)), and led to the discovery of a new class of ligands with a 1,3-dioxolane (1,3-oxathiolane, 1,3-dithiolane) structure. Compound 7 shows the highest affinity toward alpha(1a) and alpha(1d) adrenoceptor subtypes (pK(i) alpha(1a) = 9.58, pK(i) alpha(1d) = 9.09) and selectivity over 5-HT(1A) receptors (alpha(1a)/5-HT(1A) = 100, alpha(1d)/5-HT(1A) = 26). In functional experiments it behaves as a potent competitive alpha(1a) and alpha(1d) adrenoceptor antagonist (pK(b) alpha(1A) = 8.24, pK(b) alpha(1D) = 8.14), whereas at 5-HT(1A) receptors it is a potent partial agonist (pD(2) = 8.30). Compounds 8 and 10 display high affinity (pK(i) = 8.29 and 8.26, respectively) and selectivity for 5-HT(1A) (5-HT(1A)/alpha(1) = 18 and 10). In functional experiments at the 5-HT(1A) receptor, compound 8 appears to be neutral antagonist (pK(b) = 7.29), whereas compound 10 is a partial agonist (pD(2) = 6.27). Therefore, 1,3-dioxolane-based ligands are a versatile class of compounds useful for the development of more selective ligands for one (alpha(1)) or the other (5-HT(1A)) receptor system.
