Synthesis and antidepressant activity of substituted (omega-aminoalkoxy)benzene derivatives. 1981

R Kikumoto, and A Tobe, and S Tonomura

A series of substituted (omega-aminoalkoxy)benzene derivatives has been synthesized and screened for potential antidepressant activities. The effect of structural variation of these molecules has been systematically examined. Antidepressant activity was clearly displayed by 2-benzyl-1-[4-(methylamino)butoxy]benzene (7), 2-(2-hydroxybenzyl)-1-[4-(methylamino)butoxy]benzene (19), 1-[4-(methylamino)butoxy]-2-phenoxybenzene (29), and 1-[4-(methylamino)butoxy]-2-(phenylthio)benzene (31) in further pharmacological studies. These compounds did not possess the anticholinergic, antihistaminic, and muscle-relaxant side effects common to tricyclic antidepressants.

D008297 Male Males
D012110 Reserpine An alkaloid found in the roots of Rauwolfia serpentina and R. vomitoria. Reserpine inhibits the uptake of norepinephrine into storage vesicles resulting in depletion of catecholamines and serotonin from central and peripheral axon terminals. It has been used as an antihypertensive and an antipsychotic as well as a research tool, but its adverse effects limit its clinical use.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D000928 Antidepressive Agents Mood-stimulating drugs used primarily in the treatment of affective disorders and related conditions. Several MONOAMINE OXIDASE INHIBITORS are useful as antidepressants apparently as a long-term consequence of their modulation of catecholamine levels. The tricyclic compounds useful as antidepressive agents (ANTIDEPRESSIVE AGENTS, TRICYCLIC) also appear to act through brain catecholamine systems. A third group (ANTIDEPRESSIVE AGENTS, SECOND-GENERATION) is a diverse group of drugs including some that act specifically on serotonergic systems.

D013329 Structure-Activity Relationship The relationship between the chemical structure of a compound and its biological or pharmacological activity. Compounds are often classed together because they have structural characteristics in common including shape, size, stereochemical arrangement, and distribution of functional groups.
