Abstract: | A new series of 3‐[ω‐[4‐(4‐substituted phenyl)piperazin‐1‐yl]alkyl]‐5H‐pyrimido[5,4‐b]indole‐(1H,3H)‐2,4‐diones ( 3–10 and 12–13 ) were synthesized from the N‐(2‐chloroethyl)‐N'‐[3‐(2‐ethoxycarbonyl)indolyl] urea ( 1 ) or the N‐(3‐chloropropyl)‐N'‐[3‐(2‐ethoxycarbonyl)indolyl] urea ( 2 ) and a number of 1‐(4‐substi‐tuted‐phenyl)piperazines. 3‐[2‐[4‐(4‐Aminophenyl)piperazin‐1‐yl]ethyl]‐5H‐pyrimido[5,4‐b]indole‐(1H,3H)2,4‐dione ( 14 ) was obtained by reduction of the parent nitro compound 8 . The obtained 5H‐pyrimido[5,4‐b]indole‐(1H,3H)2,4‐dione derivatives were tested towards cloned α1A, α1B and α1D adrenergic receptors subtypes in binding assays. Some compounds showed good affinity and selectivity for the α1D‐adrenoceptor subtype. |
