Title: Structural determinants for high 5-HT(2A) receptor affinity of spiro[9,10-dihydroanthracene]-9,3(')-pyrrolidine (SpAMDA).

Authors: Peddi S, Roth BL, Glennon RA, Westkaemper RB.

Abstract: The synthesis and 5-HT(2A) receptor affinities of ring altered derivatives of spiro[9,10-dihydroanthracene]-9,3(')-pyrrolidine (4), a structurally unique tetracyclic 5-HT(2A) receptor antagonist, are described. The characteristics of the parent compound prove to be necessary for optimal 5-HT(2A) receptor affinity. However, expansion of the size of the pyrrolidine and central rings produce compounds with reasonably high 5-HT(2A) receptor affinities. In addition, the parent compound is shown to have high 5-HT(2) receptor selectivity.
