Popis: Based on the SAR of both α1-AR antagonists and 5α-reductase (5AR) inhibitors, the dual-acting agent 4-(1-(4-(4-(2-methoxyphenyl)piperazin-1-yl)butyl)-1H-indol-3-yl)butanoic acid 4aaa was designed against BPH and synthesized by two steps of N-alkylation. One-pot protocol towards 4aaa was newly developed. With IL [C6min]Br as solvent, the yield of 4aaa was increased to 75.1% from 16.0% and the reaction time was shortened in 1.5 h from 48 h. 25 derivatives structurally based on arylpiperazine and indolyl butyric acid with alkyl linker were prepared. The protocol was futher extended to get another 14 derivatives wherein O-alkylation was involved, and applied to the synthesis of biologically efficient molecules DPQ and Aripiprazole. Expectedly, compound 4aaa exhibited dual inhibition of α1-AR and 5α-reductase, and exhibited no obvious cytotoxicity against human cells. The pharmacokinetic properties of 4aaa was also determined.
