Several indole derivatives, that were highly potent ligands of GluN2B-subunit-containing N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor, also demonstrated antioxidant properties in ABTS method. In particular, the 2-(4-benzylpiperidin-1-yl)-1-(5-hydroxy-1H-indol-3-yl)ethanone (1) proved to be a dual-effective neuroprotective agent. With the aim to increase the antioxidant properties we added a catechol moiety onto piperidine moiety. The designed hybrid derivative 3,4-dihydroxy-N-[1-[2-(5-hydroxy-1H-indol-3-yl)-2-oxoethyl]piperidin-4-yl]benzamide (10) was the most effective antioxidant agent (>94.1 ± 0.1% of inhibition at 17 μM) and showed GluN2B/NMDA receptor affinity at low micromolar concentration (IC₅₀ 0.66 μM). By means of computational studies we explored the effect of the presence of this antioxidant fragment during the recognition process to binding pocket.
