    Abstract:
    A series of novel arylpiperazines bearing a 3,3-diphenylpyrrolidin-2-one fragment were synthesized and evaluated for their binding affinity for alpha(1)- and alpha(2)-adrenoceptors (ARs), as well as their antiarrhythmic, and antihypertensive activities. The highest affinity for the alpha(1)-AR was displayed by 1-{3-[4-(2-ethoxy-phenyl)-piperazin-1-yl]-2-hydroxy-propyl}-3,3-diphenylpyrrolidin-2-one (7), which binds with a pK(i)=7.28. The highest affinity for the alpha(2)-AR was shown by 1-{3-[4-(2-methoxy-phenyl)-piperazin-1-yl]-2-hydroxy-propyl}-3,3-diphenylpyrrolidin-2-one (5), which binds with a pK(i)=6.68. Compound 7 was additionally evaluated in in vitro functional tests for its affinity for alpha(1B)- and alpha(1D)-AR, which gave pA(2) alpha(1B)=6.55 and pA(2) alpha(1D)=7.26. Among the compounds tested, compound 7 also had the highest prophylactic antiarrhythmic activity in adrenaline-induced arrhythmia in anaesthetized rats. Its ED(50) value was 1.1mg/kg (i.v.). The compounds significantly decreased systolic and diastolic pressure in normotensive anaesthetized rats at doses of 2.5-5.0mg/kg (i.v.) and their hypotensive effects lasted for longer than 1h. It was found that the introduction of two phenyl ring substituents into the 3rd position of the pyrrolidin-2-one fragment gave compounds with affinity for both alpha(1)- and alpha(2)-AR. The substitution of the 2nd position in the phenyl piperazinyl fragment of the molecule was crucial for activity. To determine detailed information concerning the structure-activity relationship, a preliminary molecular modeling study was undertaken.
