In contrast, affinities of the 5-HT (1A) ligands WAY100,635, spiperone, (-)-4-(dipropylamino)-1,3,4,5-tetrahydrobenz {c,d}indole-6-carboxamide (LY228,729), and 1-[2-(4-fluorobenzoylamino) ethyl]-4-(7-methoxynaphtyl) piperazine (S14506) and the prototypical 5-HT (1A) agonist (+)-8-OH-DPAT are only slightly affected by the mutation, suggesting a moderate contribution of Asp116 to the binding pocket for these latter.

The 5-HT mixed agonist/antagonist 1-(2-methoxyphenyl) 4-[4-(phthalimido) butyl]-piperazine hydrobromide (NAN-190) has been shown to greatly potentiate photic phase shifts in hamsters.
NAN-190 is believed to act primarily through the 5-HT (1A) receptor, but also binds to several other receptors, making it uncertain as to which receptor underlies its potentiation of photic phase shifts.

Docking analysis indicated that the binding to D (2) and 5-HT (1A) receptors is based on (i) interaction between protonated N1 of the piperazine ring and various aspartate residues, (ii) hydrogen bonds between various moieties of the ligand and the residues of threonine, serine, histidine or tryptophane, and (iii) edge-to-face interactions of the aromatic ring of the arylpiperazine moiety with phenylalanine or tyrosine residues.

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) cyclohexanec arboxamide (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.

1 The role of the 5-Hydroxytryptamine (1B) (5-HT (1B)) receptor subtype in masculine sexual behaviour in mice was analysed in both 5-HT (1B) receptor knockout (KO (1B)) and wild-type (WT) animals. 2 Comparison of male copulatory behaviour of WT and KO (1B) strains revealed that KO (1B) mice become interested earlier in sexual behaviour, but require more stimulation to achieve ejaculation than its corresponding WT strain. 3 The pharmacological manipulation of male sexual activity in the WT strain showed that the serotonin precursor 5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP), the 5-HT (1B) agonist (1-(m-trifluoromethylphenyl) piperazine (TFMPP) and the 5-Hydroxytryptamine (1A) (5-HT (1A)) receptor agonist 8-hydroxy-2-di-n-propylamino-tetralin (8-OH-DPAT) all inhibited male copulatory behaviour in mice. 4 In KO (1B) mice, TFMPP lacked an effect, 5-HTP exerted a mild inhibitory effect while 8-OH-DPAT provoked only a tendency towards a reduction in the percentage of animals that achieved ejaculation.

Both compounds appeared to be approximately 4-fold more potent in occupying presynaptic 5-HT (1A) receptors in the dorsal raphe than the postsynaptic receptors in the hippocampus.
Oral dosing of buspirone in rats resulted in exposures (area under the concentration-time profile) of 6-OH-buspirone and 1-(2-pyrimidinyl)-piperazine (1-PP), another major metabolite of buspirone, that were approximately 12 (6-OH-buspirone)- and 49 (1-PP)-fold higher than the exposure of the parent compound.

J Med Chem. 2003 Dec 4;46(25):5512-32.

In a wide search program toward new, efficient, and fast-acting antidepressant drugs, we have prepared series of new compounds having an (aryl)(aryloxy) methyl moiety linked directly or through a methylene chain to different substituted and unsubstituted cycles (isoquinoline, piperazine, piperidine, tetrahydropyran, or cyclopentane).
These compounds have been evaluated for their affinities for serotonin (5-HT) transporter (SERT) and 5-HT (1A) and 5-HT (2A) receptors.

On the other hand, local application of risperidone (3 and 10 microM), the 5-HT1A receptor agonist 8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino) tetralin (1 and 10 microM), and the dopamine D4 receptor antagonist 3-(4-(4-iodophenyl) piperazine-1-yl) methyl-1H-pyrrolo [2,3-b] pyridine (1 and 10 microM) into the cortex did not affect acetylcholine release in the prefrontal cortex.

In this way, we identified several high-affinity D (3) ligands (0.13 nM < K (i)'s < 4.97 nM) endowed with high selectivity over D (2), D (4), 5-HT (1A), and alpha (1) receptors.

These results suggest that FR260010 is a novel, potent, orally active and brain penetrable antagonist of 5-HT (2C) receptor, and may have therapeutic potential for treatment of anxiety, with more desirable profiles than benzodiazepines or 5-hydroxytryptamine (1A) (5-HT (1A)) receptor agonists.
Hyperfunction of brain 5-hydroxytryptamine (2C) (5-HT (2C)) receptor is suggested to be involved in anxiety as evidenced by the fact that a putative 5-HT (2C) receptor agonist 1-(m-chlorophenyl)-piperazine (m-CPP) causes anxiety in humans.

In male 8-month-old taiep rats we have studied the effect of systemic administration of serotonergic autoreceptor agonists and antagonists on gripping-induced IEs. 8-Hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino) tetraline hydrobromide (8-OH-DPAT), a 5-HT (1A) agonist, and 3-trifluoromethylphenylpiperazine hydrochloride (TFMPP), a 5-HT (1B) agonist, produce a significant decrease in the frequency and mean duration of IEs.
Systemic administration of spiperone and 1-(2-methoxyphenyl)-4 [4-(2-phthalimido) butyl] piperazine hydrobromide (NAN-190), 5-HT (1) antagonists, increase IEs and their mean duration.

As a means of characterizing the role of 5-HT1A and 5-HT2A receptors in learning, 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) agonists and antagonists with selective affinities for each receptor subtype (i.e. 8-hydroxy-dipropylaminotetralin (8-OH-DPAT), (-)-4-(dipropylamino)-1,3,4,5-tetrahydrobenz-(c,d,) indole-6-carboxamide (LY228729), (+/-)-1-(4-iodo-2,5-dimeth-oxyphenyl)-2-aminopropane hydrochloride (DOI), 4-iodo-N-[2- [4-(methoxyphenyl)-1-piperazinyl] ethyl]-N-2-pyridinyl-benzamide hydrochloride (p-MPPI), N-[2- [4- (2-methoxyphenyl)-1-piperazinyl] ethyl] -N-2-pyridinyl-cyclohexanecarboxamide maleate (WAY-100635), 1-(2-methoxyphenyl)-4-[4-(2-phthalimido) butyllpiperazine hydrobromide (NAN-190) and ritanserin) were administered to monkeys responding under a multiple schedule of repeated acquisition and performance.

Thus, to confirm the ability of the piperazine derivative to bind to sigma (1) receptors in a different way than piperidines, we synthesized and tested a series of piperazine compounds; the comparison of their affinity with that of the corresponding piperidines strongly supports the possibility of a different binding mode.
While the compounds here described are on the whole selective for sigma vs serotonin 5-HT (1A) and dopamine D (2) receptors, 9aa, 9ba and 9ab possess a remarkable affinity for both sigma and 5-HT (1A) receptors, with K (i) in the nanomolar range, and are selective with respect to D (2) receptors.

In contrast, the partial agonists (-)-pindolol and 4-(benzodioxan-5-yl) 1-(indan-2-yl) piperazine (S15535) displayed sigmoidal stimulation isotherms, whereas spiperone and other inverse agonists sigmoidally inhibited [(35) S] GTPgammaS binding.
