Synthesis of potent and selective serotonin 5-HT1B receptor ligands

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2005 Nov 1;15(21):4786-9. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2005.07.024.

Abstract

A series of serotonin 5-HT1B ligands were synthesized and evaluated for their potency and selectivity against other 5-HT receptor subtypes. Many of these new compounds displayed high affinity and selectivity for the 5-HT1B receptor and compound 6c was found to have the in vitro binding profile necessary for development as a PET radioligand.
