Novel 1-(1-benzoylpiperidin-4-yl)methanamine derivatives with high affinity and selectivity for serotonin 5-HT1A receptors were obtained and tested in four functional assays: ERK1/2 phosphorylation, adenylyl cyclase inhibition, calcium mobilization, and β-arrestin recruitment. Compounds 44 and 56 (2-methylaminophenoxyethyl and 2-(1H-indol-4-yloxy)ethyl derivatives, respectively) were selected as biased agonists with highly differential "signaling fingerprints"that translated into distinct in vivo profiles. In vitro, 44 showed biased agonism for ERK1/2 phosphorylation and, in vivo, it preferentially exerted an antidepressant-like effect in the Porsolt forced swimming test in rats. In contrast, compound 56 exhibited a first-in-class profile: it preferentially and potently activated β-arrestin recruitment in vitro and potently elicited lower lip retraction in vivo, a component of "serotonergic syndrome". Both compounds showed promising developability properties. The presented 5-HT1A receptor-biased agonists, preferentially targeting various signaling pathways, have the potential to become drug candidates for distinct central nervous system pathologies and possessing accentuated therapeutic activity and reduced side effects.

Two series of phthalimides - one possessing an N-phenoxyalkyl moiety substituted at position 3 or 4 of the phenyl ring (1-9) and the other of N-alkenyl or alkinyl phthalimides (10-18) - were synthesized, evaluated for anticonvulsant activity and had their in silico lipophilicity estimated using computer programs. The anticonvulsant activity of phthalimides containing an unsaturated substituent at the phthalimide nitrogen was superior to that of the N-phenoxyalkyl phthalimides. Alkinyl derivative 10 emerged as the most active (in MES and ScMet tests) of all the compounds tested. A correlation between anticonvulsant activity and in silico estimated lipophilicity was not observed.
