Novel Multimodal Salicylamide Derivative with Antidepressant-like, Anxiolytic-like, Antipsychotic-like, and Anti-Amnesic Activity in Mice. Pharmaceuticals (Basel) 2023; 16:175. [PMID: 37259325 PMCID: PMC9967428 DOI: 10.3390/ph16020175] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/26/2022] [Revised: 01/17/2023] [Accepted: 01/20/2023] [Indexed: 10/24/2023] Open
Abstract
Depression, anxiety, and schizophrenia may coexist in psychiatric patients. Moreover, these disorders are very often associated with cognitive impairments. However, pharmacotherapy of these conditions remains challenging due to limited drug effectiveness or numerous side effects. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop novel multimodal compounds that can be used to treat depression, anxiety, and schizophrenia, as well as memory deficits. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the potential antidepressant-like, anxiolytic-like, antipsychotic-like effects, and anti-amnesic properties, of the novel arylpiperazine derivative of salicylamide, JJGW07, with an affinity towards serotonin 5-HT1A, 5-HT2A, and 5-HT7 and dopamine D2 receptors. Firstly, we investigated the compound's affinity for 5-HT6 receptors and its functional activity by using in vitro assays. JJGW07 did not bind to 5-HT6 receptors and showed antagonistic properties for 5-HT1A, 5-HT2A, 5-HT7, and D2 receptors. Based on the receptor profile, we performed behavioral studies in mice to evaluate the antidepressant-like, anxiolytic-like, and antipsychotic-like activity of the tested compound using forced swim and tail suspension tests; four-plate, marble-burying, and elevated plus maze tests; and MK-801- and amphetamine-induced hyperlocomotion tests, respectively. JJGW07 revealed antidepressant-like properties in the tail suspension test, anxiolytic-like effects in the four-plate and marble-burying tests, and antipsychotic-like activity in the MK-801-induced hyperlocomotion test. Importantly, the tested compound did not induce catalepsy and motor impairments or influence locomotor activity in rodents. Finally, to assess the potential procognitive and anti-amnesic properties of JJGW07, we used passive avoidance and object recognition tests in mice. JJGW07 demonstrated positive effects on long-term emotional memory and also ameliorated MK-801-induced emotional memory impairments in mice, but showed no procognitive properties in the case of recognition memory. Our results encourage the search for new compounds among salicylamide derivatives, which could be model structures with multitarget mechanisms of action that could be used in psychiatric disorder therapy.

Abstract
The present review summarizes the data concerning the influence of serotonin (5-HT) receptors on body temperature in warm-blooded animals and on processes associated with its maintenance. This review includes the most important part of investigations from the first studies to the latest ones. The established results on the pharmacological activation of 5-HT1A, 5-HT3, 5-HT7 and 5-HT2 receptor types are discussed. Such activation of the first 3 type of receptors causes a decrease in body temperature, whereas the 5-HT2 activation causes its increase. Physiological mechanisms leading to changes in body temperature as a result of 5-HT receptors' activation are discussed. In case of 5-HT1A receptor, they include an inhibition of shivering and non-shivering thermogenesis, as well simultaneous increase of peripheral blood flow, i.e., the processes of heat production and heat loss. The physiological processes mediated by 5-HT2 receptor are opposite to those of the 5-HT1A receptor. Mechanisms of 5-HT3 and 5-HT7 receptor participation in these processes are yet to be studied in more detail. Some facts indicating that in natural conditions, without pharmacological impact, these 5-HT receptors are important links in the system of temperature homeostasis, are also discussed.

Abstract
Aims: 5-HT1A receptor antagonists constitute a potential group of drugs in the treatment of CNS diseases. The aim of this study was to search for new procognitive and antidepressant drugs among amide derivatives of aminoalkanoic acids with 5-HT1A receptor antagonistic properties. Materials & methods: Thirty-three amides were designed and evaluated in silico for their drug-likeness. The synthesized compounds were tested in vitro for their 5-HT1A receptor affinity and functional profile. Moreover, their selectivity over 5-HT7, 5-HT2A and D2 receptors and ability to inhibit phosphodiesterases were evaluated. Results: A selected 5-HT1A receptor antagonist 20 (Ki = 35 nM, Kb = 4.9 nM) showed procognitive and antidepressant activity in vivo. Conclusion: Novel 5-HT1A receptor antagonists were discovered and shown as potential psychotropic drugs.

Abstract
Isonicotinamide derivatives, linked to an arylpiperazine moiety, were prepared and their affinity to 5-HT1A, 5-HT2A and 5-HT2C receptors were evaluated. The combination of structural elements (heterocyclic nucleus, alkyl chain and 4-substituted piperazine) known to play critical roles in affinity for serotoninergic receptors and the proper selection of substituents led to compounds with high specificity and affinity towards serotoninergic receptors. In binding studies, several molecules showed high affinity in nanomolar and subnanomolar range at 5-HT1A, 5-HT2A and 5-HT2C receptors and moderate or no affinity for other relevant receptors (D1, D2, α1 and α2). N-(3-(4-(bis(4-fluorophenyl)methyl)piperazin-1-yl)propyl)isonicotinamide (4s) with Ki = 0.130 nM, was the most active and selective derivative for the 5-HT1A receptor compared to other serotoninergic, dopaminergic and adrenergic receptors. Compound 4o, instead, showed 5-HT2A affinity values in subnamolar range. Moreover, the compounds having better affinity and selectivity binding profile towards 5-HT1A and 5-HT2A receptors were selected in order to be tested by in vitro and in vivo assays to determine their functional activity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The previous study showed that arylpiperazine can condition affinity to α-adrenoceptors, 5-HT1A/5-HT2A receptors and compounds with arylpiperazine had antidepressant-like effect. The aim of this study was to determine the antidepressant-like activity of new arylpiperazines containing novel 8-alkoxy-purine-2,6-dione fragments. METHODS New 3-chloroarylpiperazinylalkyl analogs of 8-alkoxy-purine-2,6-dione and their purine-2,6,8-trione analogs (2-5) were tested for their α1, α2, 5-HT1A,5-HT2A, and 5-HT7 receptor affinities in radioreceptor binding study. Moreover, in search for potential antidepressant properties of these compounds, the forced swim test in mice was conducted. RESULTS Compounds 2 and 3 were potent 5-HT1A receptor ligands with Ki within the range on 12-15 nM. All investigated compounds were found to be highly active 5-HT2A receptor (Ki 15-28 nM) and α1 adrenoceptor (Ki 21-89 nM) ligands. In the forced swim test all the compounds showed a significantly activity in spite of their reducing ability of locomotor activity. The most potent effect was produced by compound 4 and 5, which reduced the immobility time in this test in all used doses. CONCLUSION In our study the most potent antidepressant-like activity was produced by compounds 4 and 5, which are selective for the 5-HT2A and α1 receptors.

Abstract
The well-known 5-HT(1A)/5-HT(7) selectivity issue was tackled by a new series of 4-aminoethylpiperazinyl aryl ketones (1a-1l) specifically designed to distinguish the two hydrophobic sites centered at the anchoring salt bridge. The 4-aminoethylpiperazinyl aryl ketones showed a wide spectrum of activity and selectivity for the 5-HT receptors depending on the type of the hydrophobic groups attached at the aryl piperazinyl ketone scaffold. Docking study of the most active compounds against 5-HT(7)R and 5-HT(1A)R revealed that both receptors have two hydrophobic pockets around the anchoring salt bridge. These two binding sites are perpendicular to each other in 5-HT(7)R but parallel in 5-HT(1A)R, and this observation is well matched with the previous report which claimed that 5-HT(7)R affinity arises from bent conformation of the bound ligand whereas an extended one is best suited for 5-HT(1A)R selectivity. Also, as these pockets have different size and shape, inhibitory activity as well as selectivity of the 4-aminoethylpiperazinyl aryl ketones against 5-HT(7)R and 5-HT(1A)R seemed to be determined by combination of two hydrophobic substituents attached at both ends of the title compounds.

Abstract
Activation of central 5-HT(3) receptors by the selective agonist m-CPBG (1-(3-chlorophenyl)biguanide hydrochloride, 40 nM i.c.v.) produced stronger hypothermic effect in mice than activation of 5-HT(1A) receptors by their agonist 8-OH-DPAT (8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propilamino)tetralin) injected by the same route at an equimolar dose. The hypothermic effect of m-CPBG was realized by influence on both the heat production and the heat loss: oxygen consumption and CO(2) expiration were decreased; heat dissipation determined by the tail skin temperature was increased. The heat loss effect of 5-HT(3) receptors was significantly shorter than the decrease in metabolism indicating the prevalent role of heat production decrease in 5-HT(3) receptor-induced deep and long-lasing hypothermia. In addition, the decrease in the respiratory exchange ratio (RER) was shown suggesting that the activation of the 5-HT(3) receptors switched metabolism to prevalent use of lipids as the main energetic substrate. 5-HT(1A) receptor agonist 8-OH-DPAT (40 nM i.c.v.) produced less depressing effect on general metabolism: a decrease in oxygen consumption and CO(2) excretion began later and was not so deep as after m-CPBG administration. Heat-loss effect of 5-HT(1A) receptors activation was not observed. In contrast to m-CPBG effect, RER after 5-HT(1A) receptors activation raised immediately after injection and then gradually decreased to the values observed in m-CPBG-treated mice. Obtained results show that activation of central 5-HT(3) receptors are more effective in hypothermia induction due to marked decrease in thermogenesis and increase in heat loss.

Abstract
Abstract
Two 1,2,4-substituted derivatives of piperazine were tested for their effect on dopamine and serotonin (5-HT) release in rat prefrontal cortex. Both compounds, 1-[4-(4-chinolin-2-yl-piperazin-1-yl)-butyl]piperidin-2-on (MM5) and 1-[4-(2-methyl-4-chinolin-2-yl-piperazin-1-yl)-butyl]-8-azaspiro [4.5]decano-7,9-dion (MC1), produced hypothermia in mice and showed affinity for 5-HT1A receptors in-vitro. Like the selective 5-HT1A agonist 8-OH-DPAT (0.1 mg kg−1), MM5 given peripherally (30 mg kg−1) decreased the extracellular 5-HT level in rat prefrontal cortex, while MC1 suppressed 5-HT release at a higher dose (40 mg kg−1), but not at a lower one (30 mg kg−1). The effect of both compounds on 5-HT release was abolished by WAY 100635 (0.3 mg kg−1). MC1 (30 and 40 mg kg−1), but not MM5, raised cortical dopamine, 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC) and extracellular homovanillic acid (HVA) levels. The effect of MC1 on dopamine release was reversed by neither WAY 100635 nor the non-selective 5-HT2 antagonist ritanserin (2 mg kg−1). However, ritanserin prevented the effect of the higher dose of MC1 on 5-HT release. The results of this study suggest that MM5 exhibits the profile of a 5-HT1A agonist devoid of dopaminergic activity. MC1 seems to possess moderate agonist activity at 5-HT1A and 5-HT2A receptors, while acting on 5-HT release in the rat prefrontal cortex. However, the facilitation of dopamine release by this compound does not seem to be related to its affinity for 5-HT1A and 5-HT2A receptors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE As a combination of 5-HT selective reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) with 5-HT(1A) receptor antagonism may yield a rapidly acting antidepressant, WAY-211612, a compound with both SSRI and 5-HT(1A) receptor antagonist activities, was evaluated in preclinical models. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH Occupancy studies confirmed the mechanism of action of WAY-211612, while its in vivo profile was characterized in microdialysis and behavioural models. KEY RESULTS WAY-211612 inhibited 5-HT reuptake (K(i) = 1.5 nmol.L(-1); K(B) = 17.7 nmol.L(-1)) and exhibited full 5-HT(1A) receptor antagonist activity (K(i) = 1.2 nmol.L(-1); K(B) = 6.3 nmol.L(-1); I(max) 100% in adenyl cyclase assays; K(B) = 19.8 nmol.L(-1); I(max) 100% in GTPgammaS). WAY-211612 (3 and 30 mg.kg(-1), po) occupied 5-HT reuptake sites in rat prefrontal cortex (56.6% and 73.6% respectively) and hippocampus (52.2% and 78.5%), and 5-HT(1A) receptors in the prefrontal cortex (6.7% and 44.7%), hippocampus (8.3% and 48.6%) and dorsal raphe (15% and 83%). Acute or chronic treatment with WAY-211612 (3-30 mg.kg(-1), po) raised levels of cortical 5-HT approximately twofold, as also observed with a combination of an SSRI (fluoxetine; 30 mg.kg(-1), s.c.) and a 5-HT(1A) antagonist (WAY-100635; 0.3 mg.kg(-1), s.c). WAY-211612 (3.3-30 mg.kg(-1), s.c.) decreased aggressive behaviour in the resident-intruder model, while increasing the number of punished crossings (3-30 mg.kg(-1), i.p. and 10-56 mg.kg(-1), po) in the mouse four-plate model and decreased adjunctive drinking behaviour (56 mg.kg(-1), i.p.) in the rat scheduled-induced polydipsia model. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS These findings suggest that WAY-211612 may represent a novel antidepressant.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of SB-258585, a selective 5-HT6 receptor antagonist, administered intrahippocampally to rats, in the conflict drinking and forced swim tests, that is models used for evaluating anxiolytic-like and antidepressant-like activity, respectively. Diazepam and imipramine were used as reference drugs. SB-258585 at a dose of 1 microg (but not 0.3 and 3 microg) showed an anticonflict effect that was weaker than that of diazepam (40 microg). SB-258585 at a dose of 3 microg (but not 1 and 10 microg) produced a marked anti-immobility effect comparable with that of imipramine (0.1 microg). The anxiolytic-like and antidepressant-like activity of SB-258585 seemed to be specific, as that compound--when given by the same route in doses effective in each model--did not affect the shock threshold, nonpunished water consumption, or exploratory activity of rats. The results obtained indicate that the hippocampus is one of the neuroanatomical sites involved in the anxiolytic-like and antidepressant-like activity of the selective 5-HT6 receptor antagonist SB-258585.

Abstract
Introduction of 1,4-disubstituted cyclohexane ring in the structure of flexible long chain arylpiperazines resulted in linearly constrained, potent serotonin (5-HT)(1A) ligands. In order to trace structure-intrinsic activity relationships in this group, a new series of 1-substituted 4-(4-arylpiperazin-1-yl)cyclohexane derivatives with different cyclic imide/amide termini, and their flexible, tetramethylene analogues were synthesized and pharmacologically evaluated for 5-HT(1A) receptors. In vitro binding experiments revealed that all the compounds were potent 5-HT(1A) receptor agents (K(i) = 1.9-74 nM). Some derivatives tested additionally showed also high affinity for alpha(1)-adrenergic receptors (K(i) = 2.9-101 nM) and for 5-HT(7) receptors. Functional in vivo examination revealed that rigid ligands with o-OCH(3) group in the aryl moiety and cyclic imide system in the opposite terminal behaved like postsynaptic 5-HT(1A) receptor antagonists. On the other hand, unsubstituted, m-Cl, or m-CF(3) substituted derivatives as well as those with cyclic amide group in the terminal fragment exhibited agonistic or partial agonistic activity. Three out of four derivatives tested, that is, postsynaptic 5-HT(1A) antagonists 9 and 10, and partial agonist 16, showed anxiolytic-like activity in the conflict drinking (Vogel) test in rats.

Abstract
Starting with the structure of potent 5-HT(1A) ligands, that is, MM77 [1-(2-methoxyphenyl)-4-(4-succinimidobutyl)piperazine, 4] and its constrained version 5 (MP349), previously obtained in our laboratory, a series of their direct analogues with differently substituted aromatic ring (R=H, m-Cl, m-CF(3), m-OCH(3), p-OCH(3)) were synthesized. The flexible and the corresponding 1e,4e-disubstituted cyclohexane derivatives were designed in order to investigate the influence of rigidification on 5-HT(1A) affinity, selectivity for 5-HT(2A), 5-HT(7), D(1), and D(2) binding sites and functional profile at pre- and postsynaptic 5-HT(1A) receptors. The new compounds 19-25 were found to be highly active 5-HT(1A) receptor ligands (K(i)=4-44 nM) whereas their affinity for other receptors was: either significantly decreased after rigidification (5-HT(7)), or controlled by substituents in the aromatic ring (alpha(1)), or influenced by both those structural modifications (5-HT(2A)), or very low (D(2), K(i)=5.3-31 microM). Since a distinct disfavor towards rigid compounds was observed for 5-HT(7) receptors only, it seems that the bioactive conformation of chain derivatives at those sites should differ from the extended one. Several in vivo models were used to asses functional activity of 19-25 at pre- (hypothermia in mice) and postsynaptic 5-HT(1A) receptors (lower lip retraction in rats and serotonin syndrome in reserpinized rats). Unlike the parent antagonists 4 and 5, all the new derivatives tested were classified as partial agonists with different potency, however, similar effects were observed within pairs (flexible and rigid) of the analogues. The obtained results indicated that substitution in the aromatic ring, but not spacer rigidification, controls the 5-HT(1A) functional activity of the investigated compounds. Moreover, an o-methoxy substituent in the structure of 5 seems to be necessary for its full antagonistic properties. Of all the new compounds studied, trans-4-(4-succinimidocyclohexyl)-1-(3-trifluoromethylphenyl)piperazine 24 was the most potent 5-HT(1A) receptor ligand in vitro (K(i)=4 nM) and in vivo, with at least 100-fold selectivity for the other receptors tested.

Abstract
The pharmacological effect of the 5-HT1A receptor ligands, 8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino)tetralin (8-OH-DPAT), indorenate, and buspirone, alone or in combination with the antagonist MM-77, was studied in mice subjected to forced swimming. It was confirmed that this stressful factor produces an anxiolytic-like effect, which is reversed by the mentioned 5-HT1A receptor agonists. Only the 8-OH-DPAT-induced decrease of such an effect could be blocked by the postsynaptic antagonist of the 5-HT1A receptor 1-(2-methoxyphenyl)-4-[(4-succinimido)butyl]-piperazine (MM-77). Stressing by forced swimming seems to induce plastic changes in 5-HT1A receptors, which in turn modify the behavioural actions of 5-HT1A receptor agents.

Abstract
Two sets of new o-methoxyphenylpiperazine (MPP; series a) and 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline (THIQ; series b) derivatives, containing various imide moieties derived from NAN190, were synthesized and evaluated in vitro for their ability to bind to the serotonin 5-HT(1A) and 5-HT(2A) receptors. All new derivatives from series a demonstrated high 5-HT(1A) affinities, whereas THIQ analogues were much less active. With respect to 5-HT(2A) receptors, three MPP derivatives presented moderate activity but the rest of the investigated compounds were practically inactive. The influence of changes in terminus geometry on 5-HT(1A) receptor affinity was analyzed in regard to model compounds NAN190and MM199.

Abstract
In the present paper, we examined the effect of lesions of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) neurons, produced by p-chloroamphetamine (p-CA; 2 x 10 mg/kg), and the influence of flumazenil (Ro 15-1788, 10 mg/kg), a benzodiazepine receptor antagonist, on the anticonflict activity of N-[2-[4-(2-methoxyphenyl)-1-piperazinyl]ethyl]-N-(2-pyridinyl)cyclohexanecarboxamide (WAY 100635) and trans-1-(2-methoxy-phenyl)-4-[4-succinimidocyclohexyl]piperazine (MP 349), pre- and postsynaptic 5-HT(1A) receptor antagonists, and 1-(2-methoxyphenyl)-4-(4-succinimidobutyl)piperazine (MM 77), a postsynaptic 5-HT(1A) receptor antagonist, in the Vogel conflict drinking test in rats. Diazepam was used as a reference compound. WAY 100635 (0.5-1 mg/kg), MP 349 (0.25-0.5 mg/kg), MM 77 (0.03-0.25 mg/kg) and diazepam (2.5-5 mg/kg) significantly increased the number of shocks accepted during experimental sessions in the conflict drinking test. In p-chloroamphetamine-pretreated rats, neither WAY 100635 (1 mg/kg) nor MP 349 (0.25 mg/kg) induced an anticonflict effect, whereas MM 77 (0.06 mg/kg) did produce it. Flumazenil fully blocked the anticonflict effects of WAY 100635 (1 mg/kg) and diazepam (5 mg/kg), and it partly but significantly reduced the anticonflict effects of MP 349 (0.25 mg/kg) and MM 77 (0.06 mg/kg). p-Chloroamphetamine and flumazenil alone were inactive in the conflict drinking test. The present results suggest that, first, the anticonflict effect of the 5-HT(1A) receptor antagonists, WAY 100635 and MP 349, but not MM 77, is linked to the presynaptically located 5-HT(1A) receptors, and second, benzodiazepine receptors are indirectly involved in such effects of WAY 100635, MP 349 and MM 77, due maybe to a possible interaction between the 5-HT and the gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)/benzodiazepine systems.
