The anti-immobility effect of imipramine (15 mg/kg) in the forced swimming test in mice was antagonized by the non-selective 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) antagonist, metitepine (0.5 mg/kg), by the 5-HT1C/5-HT2 antagonist, mesulergine (15 mg/kg), and by the dopamine D2 antagonist, d,l-sulpiride (50 mg/kg). These three antagonists did not alter the behaviour of imipramine-treated mice in an open-field and did not reduce imipramine brain levels. The 5-HT2 antagonist, ritanserin (0.06 mg/kg), the 5-HT1A/5-HTB antagonist, l-propranolol (20 mg/kg), and the 5-HT3 antagonists, endo-2,3-dihydro-N-(8-methyl-8-azabicyclo[3.2.1]oct-3-yl)-2-oxo-1H- benzimidazole-1-carboxamide hydrochloride (DAU 6215; 0.1 mg/kg) and 1,2,3,9-tetrahydro-9-methyl-3[(2-methyl-1H-imidazol-1-yl)methyl]-4H- carbazol-4-one, HCl.2H2O) (GR 38032F; 0.1 mg/kg), failed to reduce imipramine-induced anti-immobility. Subthreshold doses of 8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino)tetralin hydrochloride (8-OH-DPAT; 0.5 mg/kg) and imipramine (7.5 mg/kg) did not synergize in reducing immobility. d,l-Sulpiride, but not mesulergine, antagonized the effect of desipramine (15 mg/kg) in the forced swimming test. All compounds were administered i.p. 6 min before imipramine or desipramine, given i.p. 30 min before the testing. Imipramine produced 50% inhibition of [3H]mesulergine binding to 5-HT1C receptors at 10 microM, a concentration below that obtained following i.p. imipramine administration. The results suggest a contribution of 5-HT1C receptors in the mechanism of the imipramine effect in the forced swimming test.

Intracellular electrophysiological methods were used to examine the effects of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), 5-carboxamidotryptamine (5-CT), 5-methoxytryptamine (5-MeOT), 4-amino-5-chloro-2-methoxy-N-(4-[1-azabicyclo[3,3,1]nonyl]) benzamide hydrochloride (renzapride), cis-4-amino-5-chloro-N[1-[3- (4-fluorophenoxy)propyl]-3-methoxy-4-piperidinyl[-2-methoxybenzamide monohydrate (cisapride) and endo-N-(8-methyl-8-azabicyclo[3.2.1]oct-3-yl)-2,3-dihydro-3- (1-methyl)ethyl-2-oxo-1 H-benzimidazole-1-carboxamidehydrochloride (BIMU 8) on noncholineric slow excitatory postsynaptic potentials (slow EPSPs) in myenteric afterhyperpolarization (AH) neurons of guinea pig ileum. 5-HT (0.01-1 microM) and 5-CT (0.001-0.1 microM) produced a concentration-dependent inhibition of slow EPSPs. The 5-HT1A receptor antagonist 1-(2-methoxyphenyl)-4-[4-(2-phthalimidobutyl]piperazine (NAN-190) produced rightward shifts in 5-HT and 5-CT concentration-response curves; facilitation of slow EPSPs was never observed. 5-MeOT caused a depolarization and inhibited spike afterhyperpolarizations in a concentration-dependent manner but this effect was not blocked by the 5-HT3/5-HT4 receptor antagonist, tropisetron (1 microM). Renzapride (0.01-0.3 microM), cisapride (0.01-1.0 microM) and BIMU 8 (0.01-1.0 microM) did not change the membrane potential of any neuron tested. Renzapride and BIMU 8 did not change the amplitude of slow EPSPs. In 13 of 19 neurons cisapride did not change the amplitude of slow EPSPs; in 6 neurons cisapride (1 microM) reversibly inhibited the slow EPSP. Responses to substance P which mimicked the slow EPSP were not affected by cisapride.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

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.

The study of serotonin-4 (5-HT4) receptors in the central nervous system has been hindered by the lack of effective, selective antagonists. However, recently, several novel compounds have been synthesized and shown to act as antagonists at 5-HT4 receptors in smooth muscle and embryonic neurons in culture. In the present study, intracellular electrophysiological recordings were used to test the effects of three of these compounds: endo-8-methyl-8-azabicyclo[3.2.1]oct-3-yl-2,3-dihydro-6-methoxy- 2-oxo-1H-benzimidazole-1-carboxylate (DAU 6285), [1-[2-(methylsulfonylamino)ethyl]-4-piperidinyl]methyl 1-methyl-1H-indole-3-carboxylate (GR 113808) and 2-diethylaminoethyl-(2-methoxy-4-amino-5-chloro) benzoate (SDZ 205-557) on the 5-HT4 reduction of the afterhyperpolarization seen in adult CA1 hippocampal neurons in brain slices. GR 113808, SDZ 205-557 and DAU 6285 all functioned as competitive antagonists at these 5-HT4 receptors. Although all three compounds tested acted as effective antagonists, they differed considerably in potency. When the potency of these antagonists at the 5-HT4 receptor that mediates the reduction of the afterhyperpolarization was compared with that observed for 5-HT4 receptors in biochemical and binding assays, an excellent correlation was observed. Among the antagonists tested, GR 113808 was the most potent (pA2 = GR 113808 > SDZ 205-507 > DAU 6285). It exhibited an apparent affinity for the 5-HT4 receptors in the low nanomolar range but did not antagonize 5-HT1A, beta-adrenergic or muscarinic receptor-mediated responses when applied at concentrations two orders of magnitude higher.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

The binding of [3H]endo-N-(8-methyl-8-azabicyclo[3.2.1.]oct-3-yl)- 2,3-dihydro-3-ethyl-2-oxo-1H-benzimidazole-1-carboxamide hydrochloride ([3H]BIMU-1) a benzimidazolone with high affinity for 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT)3 and 4 5-HT3 and 5-HT4 receptors, was characterized in NG-108 cells and guinea pig hippocampus. Specific, heat-sensitive, binding of [3H]BIMU-1 was detected in both NG-108 cells and guinea pig hippocampus. In NG-108 cell membranes, a portion of the specific binding was displaced by 5-HT3 receptor ligands with affinities and specificity consistent with the labeling of 5-HT3 receptors. The residual specific binding was insensitive to serotonin (Ki > 1 mM) but was displaced by haloperidol (Ki of 50 nM). In guinea pig hippocampal membranes [3H]BIMU-1 binding was insensitive to serotonin but was displaced by haloperidol, and 1,3-di-o-tolyl-guanidine with affinities appropriate for the labeling of a sigma binding site (Ki of 6.3 and 31 nM, respectively). The affinity profile of ligands displacing [3H] BIMU-1 binding in guinea pig hippocampus was consistent with the selective labeling of a sigma-2 binding site because the sigma-1 selective benzomorphans, (+)-pentazocine and (+)-N-allylnormetazocine, only weakly displaced the binding (Ki greater than 1 microM). The affinity of BIMU-1 for sigma-2 binding sites (Ki = 32 nM) was 200-fold greater than that for sigma-1 binding sites (Ki = 6.3 microM), dopamine (D1 and D2), other serotonin (5-HT1A, 5-HT2A, 5-HT2C) and muscarinic (M1, M2, M3 and M4) receptors (Ki > 10 microM). The distribution of haloperidol-sensitive [3H]BIMU-1 binding was also consistent with the labeling of sigma-2 binding sites. These data suggest that [3H]BIMU-1 selectively labels sigma-2 binding sites in guinea pig hippocampus. [3H]BIMU-1, under appropriate experimental conditions, is thus the first sigma-2 binding site radioligand to be characterized.

In continuation of the search for discovering new antipsychotic and anxiolytic agents with a reduced production of extrapyramidala side-effects, a series of N,N'-bis-aminoalkyl derivatives of bicyclo[2.2.2]oct-7-ene tetracarboxydiimide was prepared. Evaluation of these compounds in vitro revealed a very low affinity for 5-HT1A receptor.

N(G)-(Nitro-L-arginine (L-NOARG), an inhibitor of nitric oxide synthase, induces catalepsy in mice. The objective of the present work was to investigate if serotonergic drugs are able to modulate this effect. Results showed that the cataleptogenic effect of L-NOARG (40 mg/kg) in male albino-Swiss mice was enhanced by pre-treatment with (+)-N-tert-butyl-3-(4-[2-methoxyphenyl]piperazin-1-yl)-2-phenylpro panamide ((+)-WAY-100135, 5 or 10 mg/kg), a 5-HT1A-selective receptor antagonist, and by ketanserin (5 or 10 mg/kg), a 5-HT2A receptor and alpha1-adrenoceptor antagonist. Prazosin (3 or 5 mg/kg), an alpha1-adrenoceptor antagonist, and endo-N-(8-methyl-8-azabicyclo[3.2.1]oct-3yl)-2,3-dihydro-3,3-dimet hyl-indole-1-carboxamide HCl (BRL-46470A, 0.05 or 0.5 mg/kg), a 5-HT3 receptor antagonist, did not interfere with L-NOARG-induced catalepsy. Ritanserin (3 or 10 mg/kg), a 5-HT2A and 5-HT2C receptor antagonist, tended to enhance the effect of L-NOARG. These results confirm that interference with the formation of nitric oxide induces catalepsy in mice, and suggest that this effect is modulated by 5-HT1A and 5-HT2A receptors.

A series of epibatidine analogs and their positional isomers bearing an 8-azabicyclo[3.2.1]octane moiety is described. Also some of their simplified analogs bearing a 3-piperidine moiety are reported. Their receptor binding profiles (5-HT1A, 5-HT1B, M1, M2, neuronal nicotinic receptor) and analgesic activity (hot plate, acetic acid induced writhing) have been studied. Some of the compounds, especially those containing an 8-azabicyclo[3.2.1]oct-2-ene moiety possess high afinity for the nicotinic cholinergic receptor. The most analgesically active compounds are also highly toxic. Optimized structures (PM3-MOPAC, Alchemy 2000, Tripos Inc.) of compounds 1-9 were compared with that of epibatidine.

A series of N-azabicycloalkyl-1-alkyl-2-oxo-1,2-dihydro-3-quinolinecarboxamides were synthesized and tested for serotonin 5-HT4 receptor-stimulating effects in the regulation of electrically-evoked contraction in guinea pig muscle. Among them, N-azabicycloalkyl-1-isopropyl-2-oxo-1,2-dihydro-3-quinolinecarboxamide (8c, 9c, 10c, 11c, 12c) exhibited potent serotonin 5-HT4 receptor-stimulating activity. The most potent compound, N-(endo-8-methyl-8-azabicyclo[3.2.1 oct-3-yl)-1-isopropyl-2-oxo-1,2-dihydro-3-quinolinecarboxamide (8c, ED50 = 36.3 nMi), was seven times as active as cisapride, while 8c had no affinity for 5-HT1A, 5-HT1D, D2, muscarinic M2 or muscarinic M3 receptors even at 10 microM. Compound 8c stimulated digestive tract motility in conscious fed dogs (1.0 mg/kg p.o.).
