Design, synthesis, and preliminary in vitro and in vivo pharmacological evaluation of 2-{4-[4-(2,5-disubstituted thiazol-4-yl)phenylethyl]piperazin-1- yl}-1,8-naphthyridine-3-carbonitriles as atypical antipsychotic agents

A series of 2-{4-[4-(2,5-disubstituted thiazolyl)phenylethyl] piperazin-1-yl}-1,8-naphthyridine-3-carbonitriles were synthesized in an effort to prepare novel atypical antipsychotic agents. The compounds were synthesized either by microwave irradiation technique or by conventional synthesis and were characterized by spectral data (IR, 1H NMR, and MS) and the purity was ascertained by microanalysis. The D2 and 5-HT2A affinity of the synthesized compounds was screened in vitro by radioligand displacement assays on membrane homogenates isolated from rat striatum and rat cortex, respectively. Furthermore, all the synthesized compounds were screened for their in vivo pharmacological activity in Swiss albino mice. The D 2 antagonism studies were performed using climbing mouse assay model and 5-HT2A antagonism studies were performed using quipazine-induced head twitches in mice. It was observed that none of the new chemical entities exhibited catalepsy and 10f is the most active among the synthesized compounds with 5-HT2A/D2 ratio of 1.1286 although the standard drug risperidone exhibited 5-HT2A/D2 ratio of 1.0989.
