- New serotonin 5-HT1A receptor agonists endowed with antinociceptive activity in vivo
-
We report the synthesis of new compounds 4-35 based on two different openings (A and B) of the chromane ring present in the previously identified 5-HT1A receptor (5-HT1AR) ligand 3. The synthesized compounds were assessed for binding affinity, selectivity, and functional activity at the 5-HT1AR. Selected candidates resulting from B opening were also evaluated for their potential antinociceptive effect in vivo and pharmacokinetic properties in vitro. Analogue 19 [2-(4-{[2-(2-ethoxyphenoxy) ethyl]amino}butyl)tetrahydro-1H-pyrrolo[1,2-c]imidazole-1,3(2H)-dione] has been characterized as a high-affinity and potent 5-HT1AR agonist (K i = 2.3 nM; EC50 = 19 nM). Pharmacokinetic studies indicated that compound 19 displays a good metabolic stability in human liver microsomes (t1/2 ~ 3 h and CLint = 3.5 mL/min/kg, at 5 μM), and a low level of protein binding (25%, at 5 μM). Interestingly, 19 (3 mg/kg, ip, and 30 mg/kg, po) caused significant attenuation of formalin-induced behavior in early and late phases of the mouse intradermal formalin test of pain, and this in vivo effect was reversed by the selective 5-HT1AR antagonist WAY-100635. Thus, the new 5-HT1AR agonist identified in this work, 19, exhibits oral analgesic activity, and the results herein represent a step toward identifying new therapeutics for the control of pain.

- Chiral aryloxyalkylamines: Selective 5-HT1B/1D activation and analgesic activity
-
A series of chiral 2,3-dichlorophenoxy and 1-naphthyloxy alkylamines were synthesized, and their binding affinities towards 5-HT1D and h5-HT1B receptors were evaluated. In the naphthyloxy series, the (R)-prolinol derivative was the most selective 5-HT1D ligand, while (S)-N-methyl-2-(1-naphthyloxy)propan-1-amine showed the highest selectivity for h5-HT1B. Both compounds performed as 5-HT1D agonists in the isolated guinea pig assay and showed higher analgesic activity than both sumatriptan and the achiral analogue 20b in the mouse hotplate test. Neither ligand displayed any affinity for nicotinic ACh receptors present in mouse brain membranes, thus indicating that their analgesic activity does not arise through interaction with these receptors.

- Structure-affinity studies for a novel series of homochiral naphtho and tetrahydronaphtho analogues of α1 antagonist WB-4101
-
A number of enantiomeric pairs of naphthodioxane, tetrahydronaphthodioxane and naphthoxy analogues of WB-4101 (1) were designed and synthesized in order to improve the selectivity profile of the parent compound, hopefully in favour of the α1a-AR with respect to the other two α1 subtypes and the 5-HT1A receptor. The new compounds 2-8 and, in addition, the two enantiomers of 1 were tested in binding assays on the α1a-AR, α1b-AR, α1d-AR, and the 5-HT1A receptor. Two of them, namely the naphtho- and tetrahydronaphthodioxane derivatives (S)-2 and (S)-3, showed lower, but significantly more specific α1a affinity than (S)-1, while the two enantiomers of the 2-methoxy-1-naphthoxy analogue 6 maintained most of the very high α1a affinity of (S)-1 and its α1a versus α1b selectivity slightly increasing the α1a/α1d and α1a/5HT 1A affinity ratios. The SAR data were evaluated in the light of known α1 subtype pharmacophores and of the α1a-AR binding mode of WB-4101 resultant from literature mutagenesis studies disclosing some interesting consonances with these models.

- Design and Synthesis of Propranolol Analogues as Serotonergic Agents
-
Serotonin (5-HT) binds with nearly identical affinity at the various central 5-HT binding sites.Few agents bind with selectivity for 5-HT1A sites.The β-adrenergic antagonist propranolol binds stereoselectively both at 5-HT1A and 5-HT
