Synthesis, characterization, and docking studies of novel cyanopyridone analogs with serotonin 5-HT<sub>1B</sub> receptor agonists Amresh Baitha Manish Upadhyay Ajay Gopinathan Karthik Krishnan Vijay V.

In this pursuit, ergotamine and sumatriptan class of 5-HT<sub>1B</sub> receptor agonists have been proved to be extremely effective. Further research into this field led us to design cyanopyridone derivatives that were synthesized through cyclization of 2-cyano-N-phenylacetamides with malonitrile and 2,3-dihydrobenzo[b][1,4]dioxine-6-carbaldehyde. The synthesized cyanopyridones analogs, when docked with active site of 5-HT<sub>1B</sub> receptor, showed better binding affinity compared to standard antimigraine medications. Additionally, <i>in silico</i> ADME prediction for drug-likeness and pharmacokinetics revealed that all compounds are safer and can be used as antimigraine medicine. The structure of the synthesized compounds has been elucidated on the basis of spectral analysis.</p> 2019-02-16 11:55:50 Antimigraine cyanopyridones in silico ADME Serotonin 5-HT1B receptor
