Abstract
A series of 2,3,4,4a-tetrahydro-1H-pyrazino[1,2-a]quinoxalin-5-(6H)ones and 2,3,4,4a,5,6-hexahydro-1H-pyrazino[1,2-a]quinoxalines was shown to exhibit 5-HT2C agonist binding and functional activity. Compound 21R inhibited food intake over 2 h in fasted, male Sprague Dawley rats with ED50 values of 2 mg/kg (i.p.) and 10 mg/kg (p.o.).
