The effects of a novel inhibitor 680C91 ((E)-6-fluoro-3-[2-(3- pyridyl)vinyl]-1H-indole) of the key enzyme of tryptophan catabolism tryptophan 2,3-dioxygenase (TDO) (EC 1.13.11.11), were examined on tryptophan catabolism in vitro and in vivo and on brain levels of tryptophan, serotonin (5-HT) and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA). 680C91 was a potent (Ki = 51 nM) and selective TDO inhibitor with no inhibitory activity against indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (EC 1.13.11.17), monoamine oxidase A and B, 5-HT uptake and 5-HT1A,1D,2A and 2C receptors at a concentration of 10 microM. 680C91 had no effect on the binding of tryptophan to serum albumin in plasma and inhibited TDO competitively with respect to its substrate tryptophan. 680C91 inhibited the catabolism of tryptophan by rat liver cells and rat liver perfused in situ. The catabolism of L-[ring-2-14C]-tryptophan and a load dose of tryptophan (100 mg/kg) in vivo were inhibited by prior administration of 680C91. Administration of 680C91 alone produced marked increases in brain tryptophan, 5-HT and 5-HIAA. A load dose of tryptophan (100 mg/kg), producing increases in brain tryptophan 4-fold greater than that seen with 680C91, did not increase brain 5-HT and 5-HIAA to levels greater than those seen with 680C91 and produced a shorter-lasting increase in these parameters. These data therefore demonstrate the importance of TDO as a regulator of whole-body tryptophan catabolism and brain levels of tryptophan and 5-HT and suggest that a greater antidepressant efficacy might be achieved with inhibitors of TDO than tryptophan administration alone.

A series of new 5-piperidinyl and 5-piperazinyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2(3H)-ones have been synthesized and evaluated for dual D2 and 5-HT1A receptor binding affinities. The synthesized ligands are structurally related to bifeprunox, a potential atypical antipsychotic, having potent D2 receptor antagonist and 5-HT1A receptor agonist properties. The Suzuki-Miyaura reaction of cyclic vinyl boronate with appropriate aryl halide yielded arylpiperidine, which was eventually transformed to piperidinyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2(3H)-one. The reductive amination of the latter with appropriate biarylaldehdyes rendered the synthesis of 5-piperidinyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2(3H)-ones. Likewise, the Buchwald-Hartwig coupling reactions of 1-boc-piperazine with appropriate aryl halide and subsequent removal of the boc group rendered arylpiperazine. The reductive amination of the latter with appropriate biarylaldehdyes accomplished the synthesis of 5-piperazinyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2(3H)-ones. The structure-activity relationship studies showed that cyclopentenylpyridine and cyclopentenylbenzyl groups contribute significantly to the dual D2 and 5-HT1A receptor binding affinities of these compounds.

A series of new 7-piperazinyl and 7-piperidinyl-3,4-dihydroquinazolin-2(1H)-ones has been synthesized. The described compounds are structurally related to adoprazine, a potential atypical antipsychotic bearing potent D2 receptor antagonist and 5-HT1A receptor agonist properties. Suitably modified aryl bromides were prepared and condensed with tert-butyl piperazine-1-carboxylate to afford the advanced intermediate piperazinyl-3,4-dihydroquinazolin-2(1H)-one. Likewise Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction of cyclic vinyl boronate with appropriate aryl bromides rendered piperidinyl-3,4-dihydroquinazolin-2(1H)-one. The reductive amination of the piperazinyl and piperidinyl-3,4- dihydroquinazolin-2(1H)-ones with suitably designed biarylaldehydes accomplished the synthesis of these title compounds. The described compounds were screened for D2 and 5-HT1A receptors binding affinities. The structure-activity relationship studies revealed that cyclopentenylpyridine and cyclopentenylbenzyl groups contribute significantly to the dual D2 and 5-HT1A receptor binding affinities of these compounds.
