Neuropeptides and Animal Physiology

We described herein the discovery of 1-(2-(benzo[d] [1,3]dioxol-6-yl)ethyl)-4-(2-methoxyphenyl) piperazine (LASSBio-772), as a novel potent and selective alpha 1A/1D adrenoceptor (AR) antagonist selected after screening of functionalized N-phenylpiperazine derivatives in phenylephrine-induced vasoconstriction of rabbit aorta rings. The affinity of LASSBio-772 for alpha 1A and alpha 1B AR subtypes was determined through displacement of [3H]prazosin binding. We obtained Ki values of 0.14 nM for the alpha 1A-AR, similar to that displayed by tamsulosin (Ki = 0.13 nM) and 5.55 nM for the alpha 1B-AR, representing a 40-fold higher affinity for alpha 1A-AR. LASSBio-772 also presented high affinity (KB = 0.025 nM) for the alpha 1D-AR subtype in the functional rat aorta assay, showing to be equipotent to tamsulosin (KB = 0.017 nM).
