Some substituted 3-phenylmorpholines (10a-e,j,k) and 3-thienylmorpholines (10f,g), isosteres of 3-(3-hydroxy-phenyl)-N-n-propylpiperidine (3-PPP), were prepared and submitted to binding assays on D-2 dopaminergic and 5-HT1 and 5-HT2 serotonergic receptors, in comparison with 3-PPP and its analogue 3a,b. The results show the loss of D-2 affinity for all morpholines, while a certain activity was still observable for piperidine derivatives. Regarding the serotonergic affinity, only chloro and methoxy derivatives (10a-d) were moderately active on the 5-HT1A receptor, either when the substituent was in the C-2 or C-3 position, whereas no tested compounds showed affinity toward the 5-HT2 receptor.

Spiro[piperidine-4',1-(1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-beta-carboline)] (10), its derivatives 11-15 and its analogs 16 and 17 were examined as ligands of serotonin 5-HT1A receptors. It was shown that compounds 12 and 14 had essentially the same 5-HT1A affinity as 1-phenylpiperazine and its rigid analog 7, whereas there were substantial differences in the steric arrangement of their crucial pharmacophores, i.e. aromatic and protonation centers. On the basis of the existing models and using the (+)-LSD structure as a template, a new, extended three-point topographic model of 5-HT1A receptors has been proposed.

A series of 4-(1H-indol-3-yl)-1-butyl-substituted 4-phenylpiperidines, 4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridines, and 4-phenylpiperazines was synthesized. The phenyl group was optionally substituted with 4-fluoro or 2-methoxy substituents. High affinity for both sigma 1 and sigma 2 binding sites was achieved with these compounds. Additionally, these compounds had relatively high affinity for serotonin 5-HT1A and 5-HT2A, dopamine D2, and adrenergic alpha 1 receptors. Introduction of a 4-fluorophenyl substituent at the indole nitrogen atom rendered very selective sigma 2 ligands with subnanomolar affinity for the sigma 2 binding site. The prototype of such a compound was 1-(4-fluorophenyl)-3-[4-[4-(4-fluorophenyl)-1-piperidinyl]-1-butyl]-1H- indole, 11a (code no. Lu 29-253). This compound had the following binding affinities: IC50 (sigma 1) = 16 nM, IC50 (sigma 2) = 0.27 nM, IC50 (5-HT1A) = 22,000 nM, IC50 (5-HT2A) = 270 nM, IC50 (D2) = 4200 nM, IC50 (alpha 1) = 220 nM. Spiro-joining of the phenyl and the piperidine rings into a spiro[isobenzofuran-1(3H),4'-piperdine] ring system resulted in even more selective compounds. Variations of the 1-substituent at the indole and of the chain length of the alkylene spacer group were studied. The optimal compound was the spiro analogue of compound 11a. This compound is 1'-[4-[1-(4-fluorophenyl)-1H-indol-3-yl]-1-butyl]spiro[isobenzofuran- 1(3H),4'-piperidine], 14f (code no. Lu 28-179), with the binding affinities: IC50 (sigma 1) = 17 nM, IC50 (sigma 2) = 0.12 nM, IC50 (5-HT1A) = 21,000 nM, IC50 (5-HT2A) = 2000 nM, IC50 (D2) = 800 nM, IC50 (alpha 1) = 330 nM. However, the most selective sigma 2 versus sigma 1 ligand was the tropane derivative 1-(4-fluorophenyl)-3-[4-[3-(4-fluorophenyl)-8-azabicyclo[3.2.1]oct-2- en-8-yl]-1-butyl]-1H-indole, 15a. This compound had the following binding affinities: IC50 (sigma 1) = 1200 nM, IC50 (sigma 2) = 2.5 nM. Potent anxiolytic activity in the black/white box exploration test in rats was found with the two most prominent sigma 2 ligands Lu 29-253 and Lu 28-179. Good penetration into the CNS was documented both after subcutaneous and peroral administration of Lu 28-179 by ex vivo binding studies. Long duration of action was demonstrated both in ex vivo binding (T1/2 approximately 20 h) and in the black/white box exploration test.

(+)-3-(3-Hydroxyphenyl)-N-(1-propyl)piperidine ((+)-3-PPP), a sigma ligand, at doses above 3 mg/kg (s.c.) increased the ambulatory activity of rats, while the (-) isomer of 3-PPP with low affinity for sigma receptors, did not significantly modify the ambulatory activity at 10 and 30 mg/kg (s.c.). The ambulation-increasing effect of (+)-3-PPP was prevented by the sigma receptor antagonists BMY 14802 and rimcazole or the sigma/dopamine D2 antagonist haloperidol. The (+)-3-PPP effect was also attenuated by pretreatment with the monoamine depletor reserpine or the tyrosine hydroxylase inhibitor alpha-methyltyrosine, but was not affected by the tryptophan hydroxylase inhibitor p-chlorophenylalanine. Moreover, the (+)-3-PPP effect was antagonized by the dopamine D2 antagonist sulpiride, whereas pretreatment with the 5-HT1A agonist 8-OH-DPAT and the alpha-adrenoceptor antagonist phenoxybenzamine did not exert any significant effect. These results indicate that sigma receptors are involved in the neuronal mechanism(s) of hyperambulation induced by (+)-3-PPP, and the sigma system may exert both a presynaptic action and a dopamine D2 receptor-mediated action to increase the central dopaminergic function.

Quantitative autoradiography of brain tissue has revealed a high density of binding sites for the K-ATP channel antagonists, the sulphonylureas, and for sigma-ligands in the substantia nigra (SN). In view of the high density of the two binding sites in the SN the possibility has been investigated that the K-ATP channel and the sigma-binding site are functionally linked. The K-ATP channel-mediated membrane hyperpolarisation and decrease in input resistance produced by hypoxia and by the metabolic inhibitor, cyanide, in rostral substantia nigra pars compacta neurons are antagonised by the sigma-ligand BMS 181100. In addition, BMS 181100 antagonises activation of the K-ATP channel by diazoxide; cromakalim is found to be without effect in these neurons. Antagonism of the cyanide-induced hyperpolarisation is dose dependent and is observed at concentrations of the drug which have no observable effect on the resting membrane properties of the neurons. By contrast, the nonselective sigma ligands 1,3-di-O-tolylguanidine (10 microM) and (+)-3-(3-hydroxyphenyl)-N-(1-propyl)piperidine (100 microM), and the selective sigma 1-ligand (+)-pentazocine (5-10 microM) have no effect on the cyanide-induced hyperpolarisation. 5-HT (50-100 microM) and the selective 5-HT1A receptor agonist 8-OH-DPAT (50 microM) also fail to antagonise the cyanide-induced hyperpolarisation. The antagonism of the cyanide-induced hyperpolarisation by BMS 181100 persists in the presence of tetrodotoxin (1 microM) and in the presence of high concentrations of (+)-3-(3-hydroxyphenyl)-N-(1-propyl)piperidine, but not under conditions of reduced calcium (0.1-0.2 mM) and raised magnesium (6 mM) concentrations, which block synaptic transmission. It is concluded that in substantia nigra phasic neurons the sigma-binding site does not regulate activation of the ATP-sensitive channel. However, BMS 181100 antagonises K-ATP channel activation in these neurons independently of sigma-binding sites and 5-HT receptors. This action of BMS 181100 is TTX insensitive and Ca2+ dependent.

A series of substituted N-[(tetralin-1-yl)alkyl]piperidines and a number of related N-di-n-propyl-[(tetralin-1-yl)alkyl]amines were prepared. Structural modifications such as piperidine substitutions, intermediate chain lengthening, and the nature of the aromatic ring were explored in order to identify structural requirements for selective sigma 1 affinity. They were tested in radioligand binding assays on sigma 1, 5-HT1A and 5-HT2 serotonergic, PCP (phencyclidine), and D-2 dopaminergic receptors. Almost all the compounds reported here showed a high to superpotent sigma 1 affinity, and some compounds also demonstrated a widespread selectivity over the other receptors. In [3H]-(+)-pentazocine binding, 3,3-dimethyl-1-[3-(5-methoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalen-1-yl)-n- propyl] piperidine (24) and 3,3-dimethyl-1-[4-(1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalen-1-yl)-n- butyl]piperidine (26) reached the lowest Ki values (0.4 and 0.8 nM, respectively); compound 24 also demonstrated a considerable PCP affinity (Ki = 34.2 nM), whereas compound 26 was suitably selective. Furthermore the presence of a 4-benzyl substituent on the piperidine ring (compound 16, Ki = 3.9 nM on sigma 1 sites) caused an increase in 5-HT1A affinity (Ki < 0.14 nM).

In continuation of our work on 3-amino-3,4-dihydro-2H-1-benzopyran derivatives with high affinity for 5-HT1A receptors, we have prepared rigid spirobenzopyran analogues designed from the pharmacophore models of Mellin and selected via a quantitative structure-activity relationship approach mainly based on similarity indices. A series of spiro[pyrrolidine- and piperidine-2,3'(2'H)-benzopyrans] with various substitutions on the aromatic ring as well as on the extracyclic spiranic nitrogen atom were then synthesized and evaluated for their serotonergic and dopaminergic activities. Good correlation between the predicted and the experimental binding values was observed with an average difference of 0.2 unit on log(IC50). Affinities for the 5-HT1A receptors were in the nanomolar range for the best compounds ((+)-11a,23) with a high selectivity versus other 5-HT (5-HT1B, 5-HT2, 5-HT3) or dopamine (D1, D2) receptor subtypes. As for the 3-amino-3,4-dihydro-2H-1-benzopyran series, the dextrorotatory enantiomer (+)-11a showed better affinity and selectivity for 5-HT1A receptors than its levorotatory analogue (-)-11a. Compound (+)-11a proved in vitro to be a full agonist and in vivo to be active in various comportmental tests predictive of psychotropic activity, such as the forced swim test and the tail suspension test, and is currently under complementary investigations.

A series of 2-[[(4-aryl-1-piperazinyl)alkyl]thio]thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4 (1H)-one and 3-substituted 2-[[(4-aryl-1-piperazinyl)alky]thio]thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4 (3H)-one derivatives was prepared and evaluated for in vitro 5-HT1A receptor affinity by radioligand binding assays; the selectivity for 5-HT1A receptors rather than alpha 1-adrenoceptors was also examined (ratio of the IC50 alpha 1 to IC50 5-HT1A). The binding tests gave indications about the best features of the [(arylpiperazinyl)alkyl]thio moiety and of the substituents on the thiophene and pyrimidinone rings for efficacious and selective 5-HT1A ligands. The most effective derivative for displacing [3H]-8-OH-DPAT from rat hippocampal membranes was the 3-amino-2-[[3-[4-(2-methoxyphenyl)-1-piperazinyl] propyl]thio]-5,6-dimethylthieno[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)-one (70) (IC50 = 0.3 nM) with selectivity of 24 for the 5-HT1A over the alpha 1-adrenoceptor. Compound 73, where the 2-methoxyphenyl on the N4 piperazine ring was replaced with a pyrimidine group, showed the best selectivity, with a ratio of 74, while its affinity IC50 for 5-HT1A was 6.8 nM. These results, compared to those for compounds 46 (IC50 24 nM; selectivity 2) and 49 (IC50 226 nM; selectivity 5), N3 unsubstituted analogues of derivatives 70 and 73, show the importance of an amino group in position 3 of the thienopyrimidine system for the interaction with 5-HT1A receptor binding sites, although this fragment can affect the affinity and selectivity only if linked to the (arylpiperazinyl)alkyl moiety. The better selectivity of piperidine 74 (IC50 0.8; selectivity 45) compared to the analogous piperazine 70 is also noteworthy. Twenty of the 30 molecules used for determining the binding affinity to 5-HT1A and alpha 1-adrenergic receptors were selected for QSAR analysis using a series of molecular descriptors and calculated with the TSAR software.

In this study, we assessed the effects of the acute administration of various 5-HT receptor agonists on hippocampal partial seizures generated by low-frequency electrical stimulation in male Wistar rats. The seizure threshold and severity were determined by measuring the pulse number threshold and primary and secondary afterdischarges and the latency of secondary discharge was also determined. The administration (0.1-1 mg/kg, i.p.) of either the 5-HT1A receptor agonist, 8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-aminopropyl)tetralin (8-OH-DPAT), or the selective 5-HT3 receptor agonist, 4-amino-(6-chloro-2-pyridyl)-1-piperidine (SR 57227A, 0.3-3 mg/kg, i.p.), did not alter any of the seizure parameters compared to those in vehicle-treated animals. Similarly, the administration of 0.3 and 1 mg/kg, i.p., of the 5-HT2A,C receptor agonist, (+/-)-2,5-dimethoxy-4-iodophenyl-2-aminopropane (DOI), did not alter any of the seizure parameters, whereas 3 mg/kg significantly decreased the latency of the secondary afterdischarge compared to that in vehicle-treated animals. The selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor, (+/-)-fluoxetine (2 mg/kg, i.p.), significantly increased the pulse number threshold and decreased the primary afterdischarge duration compared to those in vehicle-treated animals. In contrast, higher doses (6 or 20 mg/kg, i.p.) of fluoxetine did not significantly alter any of the seizure parameters measured. These results suggest that, in this model, stimulation of 5-HT1A, 5-HT2A,C and 5-HT3 receptors does not alter seizure threshold or severity and that the blockade of 5-HT uptake produced by a low dose of fluoxetine appears to increase seizure threshold and decrease seizure severity.

In order to evaluate the role of glutamate in prolactin secretion, we examined the effects of N-methyl-D,L-aspartic acid (NMDA) receptor antagonists on serum prolactin levels at both resting and restraint-stress conditions in female rats at estrus. NMDA increased basal serum prolactin levels. Administration of the selective NMDA receptor antagonist, cis-4-phosphonomethyl-2-piperidine carboxylic acid (CGS 19755) (5 and 10 mg/kg i.p.), to rats under resting conditions enhanced basal prolactin levels. A low dose of CGS 19755 (3 mg/kg) was unable to modify the hormone serum level. Under stress conditions the pretreatment with CGS 19755 (3 and 5 mg/kg) prevented the increase in serum prolactin levels. This effect was reversed by NMDA (60 mg/kg s.c.). The NMDA receptor antagonist (5 mg/kg) decreased the median eminence concentration of the dopamine metabolite, 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC), without modifying dopamine content. To examine the probable link between serotonin (5-HT) and glutamate in prolactin release, the 5-HT2A/5-HT2C receptor antagonist, ritanserin, was used. Under resting conditions, a dose of 5 mg/kg s.c. blocked the NMDA-induced prolactin release. In rats submitted to restraint, ritanserin decreased the prolactin response and NMDA was unable to correct the stress serum prolactin levels. The 5-HT1A receptor agonist, 8-hidroxypropyl-amino tetralin (8-OH-DPAT) (3 mg/kg s.c.), increased basal serum prolactin levels and restored serum prolactin in stressed animals pretreated with CGS 19755 (5 mg/kg). The present data strongly suggest that the glutamatergic system participates in the regulation of prolactin secretion. A stimulation tone seems to be exerted via the tuberoinfundibular dopaminergic system, and the prolactin release evoked by restraint apparently involves glutamate/NMDA receptors linked to a serotoninergic pathway.
