Arylpiperazines with N-acylated amino acids as 5-HT1A receptor ligands

A library consisting of 60 arylpiperazines modified with N-acylated amino acids was prepared on BAL linker SynPhase™ Lanterns and evaluated in vitro for 5-HT1A receptor affinity. Biological screening, followed by a simple Fujita–Ban analysis, enabled the description of structure–activity relationships and allowed the selection of some potent, high-affinity ligands for in vivo pharmacological investigations.
