Occurrence of Morpholine in Central Nervous System Drug Discovery

Elena Lenci et al.

Summary: Morpholine and its analogues are valuable heterocycles in developing drugs for the central nervous system (CNS), due to their conformational and physicochemical properties that improve permeability through the blood-brain barrier and enhance blood solubility of the overall structure. They are utilized to enhance potency through molecular interactions, direct appendages in the correct position, and modulate pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic properties in CNS-active compounds. Additionally, morpholine derivatives play a crucial role in interacting with active sites of different targets, particularly in mood disorders, pain, neurodegenerative diseases, and CNS tumors.
