2-(Dimethylaminomethyl)-tetrahydroisoxazolopyridobenzazepine derivatives. Synthesis of a new 5-HT(2C) antagonist with potential anxiolytic properties

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2002 Dec 16;12(24):3573-7. doi: 10.1016/s0960-894x(02)00796-5.

Abstract

Following the program started at Johnson & Johnson Pharmaceutical Research & Development searching for 5-HT(2A/2C) antagonists, we now report on the synthesis of 2-(dimethylaminomethyl)-2,3,3a,8-tetrahydroisoxazolo[3,2-a]pyrido[3,4-c]-[2]benzazepine and 2-(dimethylaminomethyl)-2,3,3a,8-tetrahydroisoxazolo[3,2-a]pyrido[3,2-c]-[2]benzazepine. A new method for the synthesis of pyridobenzazepines is described as well. The affinities for several receptors as well as the mCPP antagonistic activity of the compounds synthesised are described.
