The study enabled obtaining a number of new derivatives of 4-aryl-pyrido[1,2-c]pyrimidine 9.1-9.27 having conformationally restricted tryptamine moiety. In vitro studies (RBA) have shown that derivatives 9.1, 9.2, 9.4, 9.7, 9.9, 9.14 and 9.27 exhibit high affinity to molecular targets 5-HT1A receptor and SERT protein. In general, compounds with an unsubstituted or a para-substituted benzene ring of the pyrido[1,2-c]pyrimidine residue in the terminal part were characterized by higher binding ability, which can be justified by the greater flexibility of the structure. For the selected compounds 9.1, 9.7, 9.9 and 9.27, further in vitro, in vivo and metabolic stability tests were performed. The in vitro studies in the extended receptor profile (D2, 5-HT2A, 5-HT6 and 5-HT7) indicated their selectivity toward the 5-HT1A receptor and SERT protein. The in vivo studies (8-OH-DPAT-induced hypothermia in mice, FST) revealed that the compound 9.1 has the properties of presynaptic agonist of the 5-HT1A receptor, and compound 9.7 demonstrated the properties of a presynaptic antagonist of the 5-HT1A receptor. Metabolic stability studies, in turn, showed that compounds 9.1, 9.7 and 9.9, having an unsubstituted indole residue, were more resistant to biotransformation reactions of the first pass phase than was compound 9.27 containing a 5-methoxy-substituted indole residue. The obtained results allowed further optimization of the structure.
