Abstract

5-HT(1A) receptor and α(1)-adrenoreceptor (α(1)-AR) binding sites recognized by the 1,4-dioxanes 2-4 display reversed stereochemical requirements. (S)-2 proved to be a potent 5-HT(1A) receptor agonist highly selective over α(1)-AR subtypes. Chirality influenced the Anticancer activity of 3 and 4 in human prostate Cancer cells (PC-3): (R)-4, eutomer at the α(1d)-AR subtype, was the most potent. The decreased effect of 4 and (R)-4 in α(1d)-AR silenced PC-3 cells confirmed that their Anticancer activity was α(1d)-AR-dependent.
