Abstract
The title compounds, 8-{1-[3-(cyclo-pent-1-en-1-yl)benz-yl]piperidin-4-yl}-2-meth-oxy-quinoline, C27H30N2O (I), and 8-{4-[3-(cyclo-pent-1-en-1-yl)benz-yl]piperazin-1-yl}-2-meth-oxy-quinoline, C26H29N3O (II), differ only in the nature of the central six-membered ring: piperidine in I and piperazine in II. They are isoelectronic (CH cf. N) and isotypic; they both crystallize in the triclinic space group P with very similar unit-cell parameters. Both mol-ecules have a curved shape and very similar conformations. In the biaryl group, the phenyl ring is inclined to the cyclo-pentene mean plane (r.m.s. deviations = 0.089 Å for I and 0.082 Å for II) by 15.83 (9) and 13.82 (6)° in I and II, respectively, and by 67.68 (6) and 69.47 (10)°, respectively, to the mean plane of the quinoline moiety (r.m.s. deviations = 0.034 Å for I and 0.038 Å for II). The piperazine ring in I and the piperidine ring in II have chair conformations. In the crystals of both compounds, mol-ecules are linked by C-H⋯π inter-actions, forming chains in I and ribbons in II, both propagating along the b-axis direction. The principal contributions to the overall Hirshfeld surfaces involve H⋯H contacts at 67.5 and 65.9% for I and II, respectively. The major contribution to the inter-molecular inter-actions in the crystals is from dispersion forces (E dis), reflecting the absence of classical hydrogen bonds.

Abstract
The amine 8-{4-[(6-phenyl-pyridin-3-yl)meth-yl]piperazin-1-yl}-3,4-di-hydro-quinolin-2(1H)-one was crystallized as the hydro-chloride salt, 4-(2-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetra-hydro-quinolin-8-yl)-1-[(6-phenyl-pyridin-3-yl)meth-yl]piperazin-1-ium chloride, C25H27N4 +·Cl- (I·HCl). The conformation of the organic cation is half-moon in shape enclosing the chloride anion. The piperidine ring of the 3,4-di-hydro-quinolin-2(1H)-one moiety has a screw-boat conformation, while the piperazine ring has a chair conformation. In the biaryl group, the pyridine ring is inclined to the phenyl ring by 40.17 (7) and by 36.86 (8)° to the aromatic ring of the quinoline moiety. In the crystal, the cations are linked by pairwise N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming inversion dimers enclosing an R 2 2(8) ring motif. The Cl- anion is linked to the cation by an N-H⋯Cl hydrogen bond. These units are linked by a series of C-H⋯O, C-H⋯N and C-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds, forming layers lying parallel to the ab plane.

Abstract
Due to the complexity of multifactorial diseases, single-target drugs do not always exhibit satisfactory efficacy. Recently, increasing evidence indicates that simultaneous modulation of multiple targets may improve both therapeutic safety and efficacy, compared with single-target drugs. However, few multitarget drugs are on market or in clinical trials, despite the best efforts of medicinal chemists. This article discusses the systematic establishment of target combination, lead generation, and optimization of multitarget-directed ligands (MTDLs). Moreover, we analyze some MTDLs research cases for several complex diseases in recent years and the physicochemical properties of 117 clinical multitarget drugs, with the aim to reveal the trends and insights of the potential use of MTDLs.

Abstract
Biased ligands (also known as functionally selective ligands) of G protein-coupled receptors are valuable tools for dissecting the roles of G protein-dependent and independent signaling pathways in health and disease. Biased ligands have also been increasingly pursued by the biomedical community as promising therapeutics with improved efficacy and reduced side effects compared with unbiased ligands. We previously discovered first-in-class β-arrestin-biased agonists of dopamine D2 receptor (D2R) by extensively exploring multiple regions of aripiprazole, a balanced D2R agonist. In our continuing efforts to identify biased agonists of D2R, we unexpectedly discovered a G protein-biased agonist of D2R, compound 1, which is the first G protein-biased D2R agonist from the aripiprazole scaffold. We designed and synthesized novel analogues to explore two regions of 1 and conducted structure-functional selectivity relationship (SFSR) studies. Here we report the discovery of 1, findings from our SFSR studies, and characterization of novel G protein-biased D2R agonists.

Abstract
Herein we describe the hybridization of a benzoxazinone M1 scaffold with D2 privileged structures derived from putative and clinically relevant antipsychotics to develop designed multiple ligands. The M1 mAChR is an attractive target for the cognitive deficits in key CNS disorders. Moreover, activity at D2 and 5-HT2A receptors has proven useful for antipsychotic efficacy. We identified 9 which retained functional activity at the target M1 mAChR and D2R and demonstrated high affinity for the 5-HT2AR.

Abstract
Dopamine (D(2)) partial agonists (D2PAs) have been regarded as a potential treatment for schizophrenia patients with expected better side effect profiles than currently marketed antipsychotics. Herein we report the synthesis and SAR of a series of aminothiazole fused benzazepines as selective D(2) partial agonists. These compounds have good selectivity, CNS drug-like properties and tunable D(2) partial agonism. One of the key compounds, 8h, has good in vitro/in vivo ADME characteristics, and is active in a rat amphetamine-induced locomotor activity model.

Abstract
While dopamine D2 receptor partial agonists (PAs) have been long considered for treating schizophrenia, only one, aripiprazole, is clinically available for therapeutic use. This raises critically important questions as to what is unique about aripiprazole and to what extent animal models can predict therapeutic success. A number of PAs whose clinical fate is known: aripiprazole, preclamol, terguride, OPC-4392 and bifeprunox were compared to haloperidol (a reference antipsychotic) in several convergent preclinical animal models; i.e. amphetamine-induced locomotion (AIL) and conditioned avoidance response (CAR), predictive of antipsychotic effects; unilateral nigrostriatal lesioned rats, a model of hypo-dopaminergia; striatal Fos induction, a molecular marker for antipsychotic activity; and side-effects common to this class of drugs: catalepsy (motor side-effects) and prolactaemia. The results were compared across drugs with reference to their measured striatal D2 receptor occupancy. All the PAs occupied striatal D2 receptors in a dose dependent manner, inhibited AIL and CAR, and lacked motor side-effects or prolactinaemia despite D2 receptor occupancy exceeding 80%. At comparative doses, aripiprazole distinguished itself from the other PAs by causing the least rotation in the hypo-dopaminergic model (indicating the least intrinsic activity) and showed the highest Fos expression in the nucleus accumbens (indicating functional D2 antagonism). Although a number of PAs are active in antipsychotic animal models, not all of them succeed. Given that only aripiprazole is clinically available, it can be inferred that low functional intrinsic activity coupled with sufficient functional antagonism as reflected in the animal models may be a marker of success.

Abstract
A new pharmacological class of CNS ligands with the unique ability to stimulate or suppress motor and behavioral symptoms depending on the prevailing dopaminergic tone has been suggested as "dopaminergic stabilizers". The molecular mode-of-action of dopaminergic stabilizers is not yet fully understood, but they are assumed to act via normalization of dopaminergic signaling, through interactions with the dopamine D(2) receptor. Here we have evaluated the dopaminergic stabilizers pridopidine (ACR16) and (-)-OSU6162, as well as the new compound N-{[(2S)-5-chloro-7-(methylsulfonyl)-2,3-dihydro-1,4-benzodioxin-2-yl]methyl}ethanamine (NS30678) in a series of cellular in vitro dopamine D(2) receptor functional and binding assays. Neither ACR16, (-)-OSU6162, nor NS30678 displayed detectable dopamine D(2) receptor-mediated intrinsic activity, whereas they concentration-dependently antagonized dopamine-induced responses with IC(50) values of 12.9microM, 5.8microM, and 7.0nM, respectively. In contrast to the high-affinity typical antipsychotics haloperidol and raclopride, the dopaminergic stabilizers ACR16 and (-)-OSU6162 both displayed fast dopamine D(2) receptor dissociation properties, a feature that has previously been suggested as a contributing factor to antipsychotic atypicality and attributed mainly to low receptor affinity. However, the finding that NS30678, which is equipotent to haloperidol and raclopride, also displays fast receptor dissociation, suggests that the agonist-like structural motif of the dopaminergic stabilizers tested is a critical dissociation rate determinant. The results demonstrate that dopaminergic stabilizers exhibit fast competitive dopamine D(2) receptor antagonism, possibly allowing for temporally variable and activity-dependent dopamine D(2) receptor occupancy that may partly account for their unique stabilization of dopamine dependent behaviors in vivo.

Abstract
The receptor binding affinities of the three drug candidates 1 (SLV310), 2 (SLV313), and 3 (SLV314) were positioned against the results from nine (a)typical antipsychotic drugs. The receptor binding data from sixteen monoaminergic receptors served as the input in a principal component analysis (PCA). The PCA outcome revealed a unique binding profile of 1, 2, and 3 as compared with the reference compounds 4-8 and 10-12. The weight gain inducing antipsychotics 6-8 clustered in the PCA by scoring strongly negative for factor 1. The hyperprolactinaemia related antipsychotics 4, 5, 10, and 12 clustered by their negative scores for factor 2.

Abstract
Aripiprazole and the candidate antipsychotics, S33592, bifeprunox, N-desmethylclozapine (NDMC) and preclamol, are partial agonists at D(2) receptors. Herein, we examined their actions at D(2L) and D(3) receptors expressed separately or together in COS-7 cells. In D(2L) receptor-expressing cells co-transfected with (D(3) receptor-insensitive) chimeric adenylate cyclase-V/VI, drugs reduced forskolin-stimulated cAMP production by approximately 20% versus quinpirole (48%). Further, quinpirole-induced inhibition was blunted by aripiprazole and S33592, confirming partial agonist properties. In cells co-transfected with equal amounts of D(2L)and D(3) receptors (1 : 1), efficacies of aripiprazole and S33592 were attenuated. Further, in cells co-transfected with D(2L) and an excess of D(3) receptors (1 : 3), aripiprazole and S33592 were completely inactive, and they abolished the actions of quinpirole. Likewise, bifeprunox, NDMC and preclamol lost agonist properties in cells co-transfected with D(2L)and D(3) receptors. Accordingly, at split D(2trunk)/D(3tail) and D(3trunk)/D(2tail) chimeras, agonist actions of quinpirole were blocked by aripiprazole and S33592 that, like bifeprunox, NDMC and preclamol, were inactive alone. Conversely, when a 12 amino acid sequence in the third intracellular loop of D(3) receptors was replaced by the homologous sequence of D(2L) receptors, aripiprazole, S33592, bifeprunox, NDMC and preclamol inhibited cAMP formation by approximately 20% versus quinpirole (42%). Moreover, at D(2L) receptor-expressing cells co-transfected with modified D(3i3(D2)) receptors, drugs behaved as partial agonists. To summarize, low efficacy agonist actions of aripiprazole, S33592, bifeprunox, NDMC and preclamol at D(2L) receptors are abrogated upon co-expression of D(3) receptors, probably due to physical association and weakened coupling efficacy. These findings have implications for the functional profiles of antipsychotics.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Prepulse inhibition (PPI) of the startle reflex has been extensively studied because it is disrupted in several psychiatric diseases, most notably schizophrenia. In rats, and to a lesser extent, in humans, PPI can be diminished by dopamine (DA) D(2)/D(3) and serotonin 5-HT(1A) receptor agonists. A novel class of potential antipsychotics (SSR181507, bifeprunox, and SLV313) possess partial agonist/antagonist properties at D(2) receptors and various levels of 5-HT(1A) activation. MATERIALS AND METHODS It thus appeared warranted to assess, in Sprague-Dawley rats, the effects of these antipsychotics on basal PPI. RESULTS SSR181507, sarizotan, and bifeprunox decreased PPI, with a near-complete abolition at 2.5-10 mg/kg; SLV313 had a significant effect at 0.16 mg/kg only. Co-treatment with the 5-HT(1A) receptor antagonist WAY100,635 (0.63 mg/kg) showed that the 5-HT(1A) agonist activity of SSR181507 was responsible for its effect. By contrast, antipsychotics with low affinity and/or efficacy at 5-HT(1A) receptors, such as aripiprazole (another DA D(2)/D(3) and 5-HT(1A) ligand), and established typical and atypical antipsychotics (haloperidol, clozapine, risperidone, olanzapine, quetiapine, and ziprasidone) had no effect on basal PPI (0.01-2.5 to 2.5-40 mg/kg). DISCUSSION The present data demonstrate that some putative antipsychotics with pronounced 5-HT(1A) agonist activity, coupled with partial agonist activity at DA D(2) receptors, markedly diminish PPI of the startle reflex in rats. CONCLUSIONS These data raise the issue of the influence of such compounds on sensorimotor gating in humans.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The D(2)/D(3) receptor antagonist, D(4) receptor partial agonist, and high efficacy 5-HT(1A) receptor agonist F15063 was shown to be highly efficacious and potent in rodent models of activity against positive symptoms of schizophrenia. However F15063 induced neither catalepsy nor the 'serotonin syndrome'. Here, we evaluated its profile in rat models predictive of efficacy against negative symptoms/cognitive deficits of schizophrenia. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH F15063, given i.p., was assessed in models of behavioural deficits induced by interference with the NMDA/glutamatergic (phencyclidine: PCP) or cholinergic (scopolamine) systems. KEY RESULTS Through 5-HT(1A) activation, F15063 partially alleviated (MED: 0.04 mg kg(-1)) PCP-induced social interaction deficit between two adult rats, without effect by itself, underlining its potential to combat negative symptoms. At doses above 0.16 mg kg(-1), F15063 reduced interaction by itself. F15063 (0.16 mg kg(-1)) selectively re-established PCP-impaired 'cognitive flexibility' in a reversal learning task, suggesting potential against adaptability deficits. F15063 (0.04-0.63 mg kg(-1)) also reversed scopolamine-induced amnesia in a juvenile-adult rat social recognition test, indicative of a pro-cholinergic influence. Activity in this latter test is consistent with its D(4) partial agonism, as it was blocked by the D(4) antagonist L745,870. Finally, F15063 up to 40 mg kg(-1) did not disrupt basal prepulse inhibition of startle reflex in rats, a marker of sensorimotor gating. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS The balance of D(2)/D(3), D(4) and 5-HT(1A) receptor interactions of F15063 yields a promising profile of activity in models of cognitive deficits and negative symptoms of schizophrenia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE F15063 is a high affinity D(2)/D(3) antagonist, D(4) partial agonist, and high efficacy 5-HT(1A) agonist, with little affinity (40-fold lower than for D(2) receptors) at other central targets. Here, the profile of F15063 was evaluated in models of positive symptoms of schizophrenia and motor side-effects. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH Rodent behavioural tests were based on reversal of hyperactivity induced by psychostimulants and on measures of induction of catalepsy and 'serotonin syndrome'. KEY RESULTS F15063 potently (ED(50)s: 0.23 to 1.10 mg kg(-1) i.p.) reversed methylphenidate-induced stereotyped behaviors, blocked d-amphetamine and ketamine hyperlocomotion, attenuated apomorphine-induced prepulse inhibition (PPI) deficits, and was active in the conditioned avoidance test. In mice, it reversed apomorphine-induced climbing (ED(50)=0.30 mg kg(-1) i.p.). F15063, owing to its 5-HT(1A) agonism, did not produce (ED(50)>40 mg kg(-1) i.p.) catalepsy in rats and mice, a behavior predictive of occurrence of extra-pyramidal syndrome (EPS) in man. This absence of cataleptogenic activity was maintained upon sub-chronic treatment of rats for 5 days at 40 mg kg(-1) p.o. Furthermore, F15063 did not induce the 'serotonin syndrome' in rats (flat body posture and forepaw treading: ED(50) >32 mg kg(-1) i.p.). CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS F15063 conformed to the profile of an atypical antipsychotic, with potent actions in models of hyperdopaminergic activity but without inducing catalepsy. These data suggest that F15063 may display potent antipsychotic actions with low EPS liability. This profile is complemented by a favourable profile in rodent models of negative symptoms and cognitive deficits of schizophrenia (companion paper).

Abstract
Most second-generation, atypical, dopamine (DA) D2/5-HT2 blocking antipsychotics still induce extrapyramidal side effects (EPS) in higher doses. Weight gain and metabolic disturbances are also a problem, and negative and cognitive symptoms have not been sufficiently addressed. The current brain DA mesolimbic hyperactive/mesocortical hypoactive hypothesis of schizophrenia suggests that DA D2/5-HT1A receptor partial agonist properties may be more efficacious with less side effects. DA D2 receptor partial agonists may stabilize a hyperactive/hypoactive DA condition. Additional 5-HT1A stimulation may enhance therapeutic efficacy and also improve EPS liability profile. In clinical trials in schizophrenic patients, the novel DA D2/5-HT1A partial agonist bifeprunox indeed demonstrates therapeutic efficacy, a safe EPS profile and appears beneficial regarding weight gain, prolactin, blood lipid and glucose levels and cardiac rhythm. The data on bifeprunox are promising and suggest that combined DA D2/5-HT1A partial agonism may well be important properties for future-generation antipsychotics.

Abstract
We report the discovery and the synthesis of novel, potential antipsychotic compounds combining potent dopamine D2 receptor antagonist and serotonin 5-HT1A receptor agonist properties in the same molecule. We describe the structure-activity relationship that lead us to the promising derivative: N-[(2,2-dimethyl-2,3-dihydro-benzofuran-7-yloxy)ethyl]-3-(cyclopent-1-enyl)-benzylamine 16. The latter has high affinity for D2 and 5-HT1A receptors, whereas it possesses only a weak affinity for 5-HT2A sites. In cellular models of signal transduction, 16 behaves as a silent antagonist at rD2 receptors while activating h5-HT1A receptors with an efficacy at least equivalent to that of the prototypical 5-HT1A agonist (+/-)-8-OH-DPAT. These dual actions confer a unique pharmacological profile to the product. In a behavioral model predictive of positive symptoms, 16 has an activity comparable to that of the typical antipsychotic haloperidol, while it is devoid of cataleptogenic effects. Although it produces behaviors characteristic of 5-HT1A receptor activation in rats, these occur at doses 100 times higher than those with (+/-)-8-OH-DPAT. We believe that the relative balance of D2 and 5-HT1A actions in 16 is appropriate, possibly optimal, to ensure superior efficacy and tolerability over existing antipychotic drugs.

Abstract
The dopamine D1/D2 agonist apomorphine (0.63 mg/kg) disrupted prepulse inhibition (PPI) of acoustic startle in rats, a model of sensorimotor gating deficits observed in schizophrenia. All current antipsychotics, which antagonize D2 receptors, prevent this apomorphine-induced deficit. A novel class of antipsychotics possesses, in addition to D2 antagonist property, various levels of 5-HT1A agonist activity. Considering that the latter itself produces PPI deficits, it appeared necessary to assess the potential of this novel class of antipsychotics to reverse apomorphine-PPI deficits. Potent D2 antagonists, like haloperidol (0.63-2.5 mg/kg), risperidone (0.63-10 mg/kg), and olanzapine (0.63-40 mg/kg) prevented apomorphine PPI disruption. The atypical antipsychotics, clozapine (40 mg/kg), nemonapride (0.01-2.5 mg/kg), ziprasidone (10 mg/kg), and aripiprazole (0.01 and 10 mg/kg), which all exhibit 5-HT1A agonist properties, reversed PPI deficits at some doses only, whereas the anti-dyskinetic agent sarizotan (0.16-10 mg/kg), an efficacious 5-HT1A agonist, did not. New generation antipsychotics with marked 5-HT1A agonist properties, such as SLV313 and SSR181507 (0.0025-10 mg/kg and 0.16-10 mg/kg, respectively) did not reverse these deficits whereas bifeprunox (0.04-2.5 mg/kg) did. To reveal the contribution of 5-HT1A agonist properties in the lack of effects of SLV313 and SSR181507, we pretreated rats with the 5-HT1A antagonist WAY100635 (0.63 mg/kg). Under these conditions, significant reversal of PPI deficit was observed, indicating that D2 antagonist properties of SLV313 and SSR181507 are now sufficient to overcome the disruptive effects of apomorphine. To summarize, antipsychotics possessing agonist efficacy at 5-HT1A receptors exhibit diverse profiles against apomorphine-induced PPI deficits, depending on the balance between D2 and 5-HT1A activities, suggesting that they may display distinct activity on some aspects of gating deficits in schizophrenic patients.

Abstract
Atypical antipsychotic drugs have revolutionized the treatment of schizophrenia and related disorders. The current clinically approved atypical antipsychotic drugs are characterized by having relatively low affinities for D(2)-dopamine receptors and relatively high affinities for 5-HT(2A) serotonin receptors (5-HT, 5-hydroxytryptamine (serotonin)). Aripiprazole (OPC-14597) is a novel atypical antipsychotic drug that is reported to be a high-affinity D(2)-dopamine receptor partial agonist. We now provide a comprehensive pharmacological profile of aripiprazole at a large number of cloned G protein-coupled receptors, transporters, and ion channels. These data reveal a number of interesting and potentially important molecular targets for which aripiprazole has affinity. Aripiprazole has highest affinity for h5-HT(2B)-, hD(2L)-, and hD(3)-dopamine receptors, but also has significant affinity (5-30 nM) for several other 5-HT receptors (5-HT(1A), 5-HT(2A), 5-HT(7)), as well as alpha(1A)-adrenergic and hH(1)-histamine receptors. Aripiprazole has less affinity (30-200 nM) for other G protein-coupled receptors, including the 5-HT(1D), 5-HT(2C), alpha(1B)-, alpha(2A)-, alpha(2B)-, alpha(2C)-, beta(1)-, and beta(2)-adrenergic, and H(3)-histamine receptors. Functionally, aripiprazole is an inverse agonist at 5-HT(2B) receptors and displays partial agonist actions at 5-HT(2A), 5-HT(2C), D(3), and D(4) receptors. Interestingly, we also discovered that the functional actions of aripiprazole at cloned human D(2)-dopamine receptors are cell-type selective, and that a range of actions (eg agonism, partial agonism, antagonism) at cloned D(2)-dopamine receptors are possible depending upon the cell type and function examined. This mixture of functional actions at D(2)-dopamine receptors is consistent with the hypothesis proposed by Lawler et al (1999) that aripiprazole has "functionally selective" actions. Taken together, our results support the hypothesis that the unique actions of aripiprazole in humans are likely a combination of "functionally selective" activation of D(2) (and possibly D(3))-dopamine receptors, coupled with important interactions with selected other biogenic amine receptors--particularly 5-HT receptor subtypes (5-HT(1A), 5-HT(2A)).

Abstract
In this paper, SLV310 is presented as a novel, potential antipsychotic displaying the interesting combination of potent dopamine D(2) receptor antagonism and serotonin reuptake receptor inhibition in one molecule. As such, SLV310 could be useful in treating a broad range of symptoms in schizophrenia. This paper describes the structure-activity relationship in a series of compounds leading to SLV310 (6b, 2-[4-[4-(5-fluoro-1H-indol-3-yl)-3,6-dihydro-2H-pyridin-1-yl]-butyl]-phthalimide) together with pharmacological data showing the unique profile of this compound.
