Popis: The synthesis of a series of novel 3-piperazinylmethyl-3a,4-dihydro-3 H -[1]benzopyrano[4,3- c ]isoxazoles as novel dual 5-HT reuptake inhibitors and α 2 -adrenoceptor antagonists is described. Their affinity at the three different human α 2 -adrenoceptor subtypes and the 5-HT transporter site is reported. The in vivo activity of the compounds was measured in two different assays: (1) inhibition of pCA-induced excitation, which evaluates the ability to block the central 5-HT transporter, and (2) inhibition of xylazine-induced loss of righting, which evaluates the ability to block central α 2 -adrenoceptors.
