description | Abstract
A total of 20 novel aryl piperazine derivatives were designed and synthesized, and their structures were confirmed by mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance analyses. Their 5-HT1A and sigma-1 receptor affinities were determined, and six of them showed high affinities (K
i < 20 nmol/L) to both 5-HT1A and sigma-1 targets. Then, metabolic stability (T
1/2) tests of six compounds in rat and human liver microsomes were performed. Our data indicated that compound 27 has both high affinity for 5-HT1A and sigma-1 receptors (5-HT1A: K
i = 0.44 nmol/L; sigma-1: K
i = 0.27 nmol/L), and good metabolic stability (T
1/2 values are 21.7 and 24.6 minutes, respectively). Interestingly, results from the forced swimming test, mouse tail suspension test, and preliminary pharmacokinetic test suggested the marked antidepressant activity, good pharmacokinetic characteristics, and low toxicity of compound 27 in the two models. In conclusion, compound 27 has great value of further study as an active molecule of antidepressant drugs. |
