Magli, Elisa published the artcileSynthesis, docking studies, and pharmacological evaluation of 5HT2C ligands containing the N’-cyanoisonicotinamidine or N’-cyanopicolinamidine nucleus, Computed Properties of 100-70-9, the main research area is cyanoisonicotinamidine cyanopicolinamidine depression antidepressant anxiety anxiolytic psychosis antipsychotic 5HT2C; 5-HT1A, 5-HT2A, and 5-HT2C ligands; arylpiperazine derivatives; behavioral tests; binding assays, in vitro assay.
N’-Cyanoisonicotinamidine and N’-cyanopicolinamidine derivatives, linked to an arylpiperazine moiety, were prepared and their affinities to the 5-HT1A, 5-HT2A, and 5-HT2C receptors were evaluated. Several of the newly synthesized compounds, tested by binding studies, showed nanomolar affinity at the 5-HT1A and 5-HT2C receptors and moderate or no affinity for other relevant receptors (D1, D2, α1, and α2). Compound 8e(I) (Ki = 21.4 nM) was the most affine for the 5-HT2C receptor, showing, at the same time, a high selectivity with respect to the other receptors analyzed. Compounds 4a(II) and 4c(III), instead, showed an interesting mixed 5-HT1A/5-HT2C activity with Ki values of 21.3/11.5 and 23.2/6.48 nM, resp. The compounds with better affinity and selectivity binding profiles toward 5-HT2C (I, II, III, and 8b(IV)) were selected for further in vivo assays to determine their functional activity. Finally, to rationalize the obtained results, mol. docking studies were performed. The results of the pharmacol. studies showed that compounds I, II, and IV exerted antidepressant-like effects and I and II revealed also significant anxiolytic properties. Among the developed derivatives, the most promising compound seems to be II, which displayed antipsychotic-, antidepressant- and anxiolytic-like properties. No side effects, like catalepsy, motor-impairment or ethanol-potentiating effects, were observed after the injection of the tested compounds
