Starting from compounds previously identified as alpha(1)-adrenoceptor antagonists that were also found to bind to the 5-HT(1A) receptor, in an attempt to separate the two activities, a new series of 5-HT(1A) receptor agonists was identified and shown to have high potency and/or high selectivity. Of these, compound 13, which combines high selectivity (5-HT(1A)/alpha(1)=151) and good agonist potency (pD(2)=7.82; E(max)=76), was found to be the most interesting.
