J Med Chem. 2008 Sep 25;51(18):5813-22.

Starting from the previously reported 5-HT 7 receptor agents 4-7 with N-(1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalen-1-yl)-4-aryl-1-piperazinehexanamide structure, the 1-(2-methylthiophenyl)-, 1-(2-diphenyl)-, 1-(2-isopropylphenyl)-, and 1-(2-methoxyphenyl) piperazine derivatives 8-31 were designed with the primary aim to obtain new compounds endowed with suitable physicochemical properties for rapid and extensive penetration into the brain.

J Med Chem. 2004 Dec 16;47(26):6616-24.

In relation to 5-HT7 receptor affinity, receptor binding studies indicated that (i) the optimal alkyl chain length was five methylenes, (ii) an unsubstituted 1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalenyl nucleus was preferred, and (iii) the substitution pattern of the aryl ring linked to the piperazine ring played a crucial role.

The presence of a hydroxy or methoxy substituent on aryl ketone moiety, alkyl chain length, and the nature of N-1-piperazine substituent were explored. 6-[4-(3-Benzisoxazolyl)-1-piperazinyl]-1-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-1-hexanone (40) and its methoxy analogue 43 exhibited high 5-HT (7) receptor affinities (Ki = 2.93 nM and 0.90 nM, respectively) and agonist properties when tested for 5-HT (7) receptor-mediated relaxation of substance P-induced guinea-pig ileum contraction.
