RESUMO
Aminopyrimidine 2 (4-(1-(2-(1H-indol-3-yl)ethyl)piperidin-3-yl)-N-cyclopropylpyrimidin-2-amine) emerged from a high throughput screen as a novel 5-HT(1A) agonist. This compound showed moderate potency for 5-HT(1A) in binding and functional assays, as well as moderate metabolic stability. Implementation of a strategy for improving metabolic stability by lowering the lipophilicity (cLogD) led to identification of methyl ether 31 (4-(1-(2-(1H-indol-3-yl)ethyl)piperidin-3-yl)-N-(2-methoxyethyl)pyrimidin-2-amine) as a substantially improved compound within the series.
