Two series of N-[(4-arylpiperazin-1-yl)-alkyl]-2-azaspiro[4.4]nonane (5-10) and [4.5]decane-1,3-dione (11-16) derivatives were synthesized and their serotonin 5-HT1A and 5-HT2A receptor affinities were determined. Compounds with the methylene spacer (5-7 and 11-13) exhibited low 5-HT1A/5-HT2A receptor affinity, in contrast to their ethylene analogues regarded as potent 5-HT1A ligands, especially those containing a cyclohexane moiety (14-16; Ki = 5.1, 2.7 and 4.3 nM, respectively) in the 3-position of the pyrrolidine-2,5-dione ring. Moreover, derivatives with 3-chloro substituent (10 and 14) showed distinct affinity for 5-HT2A receptors. The functional activity of compounds 10, 14, 15 and 16 was tested in vivo in the commonly used animal models. In those experiments, the tested compounds showed features of agonists of pre- and postsynaptic (14), agonists of presynaptic and antagonists of postsynaptic (10, 15), or agonists of postsynaptic (16) 5-HT1A receptors. Additionally, 10 and 16 exhibited properties of potential 5-HT2A receptor antagonists. The above results suggested a crucial role of the spacer between the amide fragment and 4-arylpiperazine moiety, as well as of the size of the cycloalkyl ring at the 3-position of pyrrolidine-2,5-dione ring in functional 5-HT1A/5-HT2A properties.
