Synthesis and antianxiety activity of (omega-piperazinylalkoxy)indan derivatives. 1983

R Kikumoto, and A Tobe, and H Fukami, and M Egawa

A series of (omega-piperazinylalkoxy)indan derivatives has been synthesized and screened for potential antianxiety activities. The effect of structural modification of these molecules on activities has been systemically examined. Antianxiety activity was displayed by 5-[3-(4-phenyl-1-piperazinyl)propoxy]indan (2), 5-[3-[4-(4-fluorophenyl)-1-piperazinyl]-propoxy]indan (8), 6-fluoro-5-[3-(4-phenyl-1-piperazinyl)propoxy]indan (33), and 6-methyl-5-[3-(4-phenyl-1-piperazinyl)propoxy]indan (42), as determined in antifighting and anti-morphine tests. These derivatives in antianxiety tests were equipotent or more potent than chlordiazepoxide with less muscle-relaxant effect. They also showed weak neuroleptic-like action.

D007192 Indenes A family of fused-ring hydrocarbons isolated from coal tar that act as intermediates in various chemical reactions and are used in the production of coumarone-indene resins.
D007202 Indicators and Reagents Substances used for the detection, identification, analysis, etc. of chemical, biological, or pathologic processes or conditions. Indicators are substances that change in physical appearance, e.g., color, at or approaching the endpoint of a chemical titration, e.g., on the passage between acidity and alkalinity. Reagents are substances used for the detection or determination of another substance by chemical or microscopical means, especially analysis. Types of reagents are precipitants, solvents, oxidizers, reducers, fluxes, and colorimetric reagents.
