A series of new 1,2,4-benzothiadiazine derivatives with an arylpiperazine mojety linked at position 3 of the heterocyclic ring were synthesized and assessed for their pharmacological profiles at alpha(1)-adrenoceptor subtypes (alpha(1A), alpha(1B) and alpha(1D)) by functional experiments and by in vitro binding studies at human cloned 5-HT(1A) receptor. Compound 1 was identified as a novel alpha(1D) antagonist (pK(b)alpha(1D)=7.59; alpha(1D)/alpha(1A)>389; alpha(1D)/alpha(1B)=135) with high selectivity over 5-HT(1A) receptor (5-HT(1A)/alpha(1D)<0.01), while compound 6, a 3,4-dihydro-derivative, was characterized as a novel 5-HT(1A) receptor ligand, highly selective over alpha(1D)-adrenoceptor subtype (pK(i)5-HT(1A)=8.04; 5-HT(1A)/alpha(1D)=1096). Further pharmacological studies demonstrated that 6 is a partial agonist at 5-HT(1A) receptor (E(max)=23, pD(2)=6.92).
