Abstract:
A series of 1-[3-(4-substituted phenylthio) propyl]-4-(substituted phenyl) piperazines has been synthesized and evaluated for hypotensive activity. The QSAR studies indicate that resonance and hydrophobic parameters of the aryl substituents are important for hypotensive activity. The similar role of resonance parameter in describing the variance of 5-HT(2A) receptor binding affinities of these compounds suggests a possible role of 5-HT(2A) receptors in mediating the hypotensive action of title compounds.

Aromatic ring substitutions: Substituting the aromatic ring with –OH groups at positions 3 and 4 yields catecholamines (e.g., epinephrine), which have a high affinity for adrenoceptors. Hydrogen bonding between –OH groups and receptors enhances adrenergic activity.
