Design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of prazosin-related derivatives as multipotent compounds

J Med Chem. 2005 Jan 13;48(1):28-31. doi: 10.1021/jm049153d.

Abstract

To combine in the same molecule alpha(1)-adrenoreceptor blocking and antioxidant properties, compounds 2-5 were designed and synthesized. All compounds were effective alpha(1)-adrenoreceptor antagonists and were tested in both functional and binding assays. In addition, compounds 2 and 5 also displayed significant capacity to inhibit intracellular oxidative stress, whereas 3-5 exerted potent antiproliferative activity in lymph node carcinoma of prostate cells.
