A novel series of quinoxalin-2-carboxamides were designed based on the ligand-based approach, employing a three-point pharmacophore model; it consists of an aromatic residue and a linking carbonyl group and a basic nitrogen. The target new chemical entities were synthesized from the key intermediate, quinoxalin-2-carboxylic acid, by coupling it with various amines in the presence of 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC·HCl) and 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (HOBt). The obtained compounds' structures were confirmed by spectral data. The target new chemical entities were evaluated for their 5-HT(3) receptor antagonisms in longitudinal muscle myenteric plexus preparation from guinea pig ileum against 5-HT(3) agonist, 2-methyl-5-HT, which was expressed in the form of pA(2) value. All the synthesized compounds showed antagonism towards 5-HT(3) receptor; based on this result, a structure-activity relationship was derived, which reveals that the aromatic residue in 5-HT(3) receptor antagonists may have hydrophobic interaction with 5-HT(3) receptor. Regardless of their antagonistic potentials, all the synthesized molecules were screened for their anti-depressant potentials by using forced swim test in mice model; interestingly none of the tested compounds affect the locomotion of mice in the tested dose levels. Compounds with significant pA(2) values exhibited good anti-depressant-like activity as compared to the vehicle-treated group.
