A new series of norbornene and exo-N-hydroxy-7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-ene-2,3-dicarboximide derivatives was prepared, and their affinities to the 5-HT1A , 5-HT2A , and 5-HT2C receptors were evaluated and compared with a previously synthesized series of derivatives characterized by the same nuclei, to identify selective ligands for the subtype receptors. Arylpiperazines represent one of the most important classes of 5-HT1A R ligands, and the research of new derivatives has been focused on the modification of one or more portions of this pharmacophore. The combination of structural elements (heterocyclic nucleus, hydroxyalkyl chain, and 4-substituted piperazine), known to be critical for the affinity to 5-HT1A receptors, and the proper selection of substituents resulted in compounds with high specificity and affinity toward serotoninergic receptors. The most active compounds were selected for further in vivo assays to determine their functional activity. Finally, to rationalize the obtained results, molecular docking studies were performed. The results of the pharmacological studies showed that 3e, 4j, and 4n were the most active and promising derivatives for the serotonin receptor considered in this study.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008024 Ligands A molecule that binds to another molecule, used especially to refer to a small molecule that binds specifically to a larger molecule, e.g., an antigen binding to an antibody, a hormone or neurotransmitter binding to a receptor, or a substrate or allosteric effector binding to an enzyme. Ligands are also molecules that donate or accept a pair of electrons to form a coordinate covalent bond with the central metal atom of a coordination complex. (From Dorland, 27th ed) Ligand

D000077489 Piperazine An anti-nematodal agent effective against the intestinal nematodes ASCARIS LUMBRICOIDES (roundworm) and ENTEROBIUS VERMICULARIS (pinworm, threadworm). It produces a neuromuscular block leading to flaccid muscle paralysis in susceptible worms, which are then dislodged from the gut and expelled in feces. 1,4-Diazacyclohexane,1,4-Piperazine,Piperazine Diacetate,Piperazine Dihydrochloride,Piperazine Hexahydrate,Piperazine Hydrate,Piperazine Hydrobromide,Piperazine Hydrochloride,Piperazine Monohydrochloride,Piperazine Phosphate,Piperazine Phosphate (1:1),Piperazine Phosphate Anhydrous,Piperazine Salt,Piperazine Sulfate,Piperazine Tartrate,Piperazine Tartrate (1:1), (R-(R*,R*))-isomer,Piperazine Tartrate, (R-(R*,R*))-isomer,Piperazinium Oleate,Pripsen,1,4 Diazacyclohexane,1,4 Piperazine
