Popis: | Arylpiperazines have been demonstrated to bind both at 5-HT1A and 5-HT1B serotonin receptors. In an attempt to design novel 5-HT1A agonists and antagonists, based on an arylpiperazine nucleus, we investigated the stimulus properties of a series of such agents (in rats trained to discriminate 0.5 mg/kg of the 5-HT1B agent TFMPP from saline) to determine what structural features were important for 5-HT1B activity. This done, we modified these agents to eliminate those features and, at the same time, incorporated structural features that appeared important for 5-HT1A affinity. The resulting agents displayed high affinity for 5-HT1A sites. One agent in particular, NAN-190, neither mimicked nor antagonized the TFMPP stimulus, but was capable of antagonizing the stimulus produced by the 5-HT1A agonist 8-OH DPAT (0.2 mg/kg). These preliminary results suggest that NAN-190 may be a potential 5-HT1A antagonist. |
