15005884 Leopoldo M, Berardi F, Colabufo NA, Contino M, Lacivita E, Perrone R, Tortorella V: Studies on 1-arylpiperazine derivatives with affinity for rat 5-HT7 and 5-HT1A receptors. J Pharm Pharmacol. 2004 Feb;56(2):247-55.

Intrinsic activity of the most potent compounds was assessed. 4-[2-(3-Methoxyphenyl) ethyl]-1-(2-methoxyphenyl) piperazine (16) and 1-(1,2-benzisoxazol-3-yl)-4-[2-(3-methoxyphenyl) ethyl] piperazine (20) (K (i) = 24.5 and 8.2 nM, respectively) behaved as partial agonist and full agonist, respectively, when tested for 5-HT (7) receptor-mediated relaxation of substance P-induced guinea-pig ileum contraction.

The presence of a hydroxy or methoxy substituent on aryl ketone moiety, alkyl chain length, and the nature of N-1-piperazine substituent were explored. 6-[4-(3-Benzisoxazolyl)-1-piperazinyl]-1-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-1-hexanone (40) and its methoxy analogue 43 exhibited high 5-HT (7) receptor affinities (Ki = 2.93 nM and 0.90 nM, respectively) and agonist properties when tested for 5-HT (7) receptor-mediated relaxation of substance P-induced guinea-pig ileum contraction.

The design, synthesis, and pharmacological evaluation of a novel class of neurokinin-2 (NK2) antagonists 1-alkyl-5-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-5-[2-[(3-substituted)-1-azetidinyl] ethyl]-2 -piperidones (5-44) are described.

They were abolished by the 5-hydroxytryptamine (1A) receptor antagonist 1-(2-methoxyphenyl)-4-[4-(2-phthalimido) butyl]-piperazine (NAN-190), but unaffected by phentolamine, an alpha-adrenoceptor antagonist.

P2X (7) immunoreactivity was colocalized with synapsin and synaptophysin and surrounded ganglion cells that contained either calbindin, calretinin, neuropeptide Y, substance P, or nitric oxide synthase.
The P2X (7) antagonists 1-[N,O-bis (1,5-isoquinolinesulfonyl)-N-methyl-l-tyrosyl]-4-piperazine (KN-62) and oxidized ATP also suppressed the BzBzATP-activated current.

15588097 Leopoldo M, Berardi F, Colabufo NA, Contino M, Lacivita E, Niso M, Perrone R, Tortorella V: Structure-affinity relationship study on N-(1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalen-1-yl)-4-aryl-1-piperazinealkylamides, a new class of 5-hydroxytryptamine7 receptor agents. J Med Chem. 2004 Dec 16;47(26):6616-24.

In relation to 5-HT7 receptor affinity, receptor binding studies indicated that (i) the optimal alkyl chain length was five methylenes, (ii) an unsubstituted 1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalenyl nucleus was preferred, and (iii) the substitution pattern of the aryl ring linked to the piperazine ring played a crucial role.
Among them, 4-(2-methoxyphenyl)-N-(1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalen-1-yl)-1-piperazinehexa namide (28), 4-(2-acetylphenyl)-N-(1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalen-1-yl)-1-piperazinehexan amide (34), 4-(2-methylthiophenyl)-N-(1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalen-1-yl)-1-piperazineh exanamide (44), 4-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-N-(1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalen-1-yl)-1-piperazinehexa namide (46), and 4-(2-methylphenyl)-N-(1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalen-1-yl)-1-piperazinehexan amide (49) were assayed for the 5-HT7 receptor-mediated relaxation of substance P-induced guinea pig ileum contraction.

Hyperpolarization of endothelial cells by bradykinin (27.0 +/- 0.9 mV, n = 4) was partially inhibited (74%) by blockade of IK (Ca) and SK (Ca) channels using 10 microM TRAM-39 (2-(2-chlorophenyl)-2,2-diphenylacetonitrile) plus 100 nM apamin (leaving an iberiotoxin-sensitive component), whereas the response to substance P was abolished.
After gap junction blockade with HEPES, (N-(2-hydroxyethyl) piperazine-N'-(2-ethanesulphonic acid)) hyperpolarization of the endothelium by 100 nM bradykinin was abolished by TRAM-39 plus apamin, whereas myocyte hyperpolarization still occurred (12.9 +/- 1.0 mV, n=4).
