Description

2-(1-Piperazinyl)benzonitrile is a neuroprotective drug that has been shown to be effective in the treatment of neuropathic and traumatic brain injury. It is a dopamine receptor agonist that binds to the d4 receptor, which is found in high concentrations in the central nervous system. 2-(1-Piperazinyl)benzonitrile enhances dopamine release by increasing calcium levels in cells, which leads to increased dopamine production and improved cognitive function. This drug also prevents neuronal death by preventing oxidative stress and apoptosis. The synthesis of this molecule can be achieved through solid-phase synthesis or chloroformate coupling reactions.
