A series of 1-(quinoliloxypropyl)-4-aryl-piperazines has been synthesized and the target compounds evaluated for atypical antipsychotic activity in apomorphine induced mesh climbing and stereotypic behaviour in mice. The 8-hydroxyquinoline ether derivative 14 has emerged as an important lead compound showing a potential atypical antipsychotic profile. Employing appropriate physicochemical properties, the similarity of the compounds was assessed with respect to some atypical antipsychotic drugs as clozapine, ketanserine, ziprasidone and risperidone.
Graphical abstractThe synthesis and evaluation of a series of 1-(quinoliloxypropyl)-4-aryl piperazines for atypical antipsychotic effect is reported. Using appropriate physicochemical properties, similarity of the compounds with standard drugs has been calculated.Figure optionsDownload full-size imageDownload as PowerPoint slide
