Abstract:
A series of 1-benzyl-4-(3-aminopropyloxy)piperidine and 1-benzyl-4-(5-aminopentyloxy)piperidine derivatives has been prepared. The 1-benzyl-4-hydroxypiperidine derivatives obtained were evaluated for their affinities at recombinant human histamine H(3 )receptor, stably expressed in HEK 293T cells. All compounds investigated show moderate to pronounced in-vitro affinities. The most potent antagonists in this series 9b2 (hH(3)R, pK(i) = 7.09), 9b1 (hH(3)R, pK(i) = 6.78), 9b5 (hH(3)R, pK(i) = 6.99), and 9b6 (hH(3)R, pK(i )= 6.97) were also tested in vitro as H(3 )receptor antagonists - the electrically evoked contraction of the guinea-pig jejunum. The histaminergic H(1) antagonism of selected compounds 9b1, 9b2, and 9b4-9b6 was established on the isolated guinea-pig ileum by conventional methods; the pA(2) values were compared with the potency of pyrilamine. The compounds did not show any H(1) antagonistic activity (pA(2) < 4; for pyrilamine pA(2) = 9.53).

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.
