Advances in drug design and therapeutic potential of selective or multitarget 5-HT1A receptor ligands. Med Res Rev 2024. [PMID: 38808959 DOI: 10.1002/med.22049] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2023] [Revised: 03/14/2024] [Accepted: 05/03/2024] [Indexed: 05/30/2024]
Abstract
5-HT1A receptor (5-HT1A-R) is a serotoninergic G-protein coupled receptor subtype which contributes to several physiological processes in both central nervous system and periphery. Despite being the first 5-HT-R identified, cloned and studied, it still represents a very attractive target in drug discovery and continues to be the focus of a myriad of drug discovery campaigns due to its involvement in numerous neuropsychiatric disorders. The structure-activity relationship studies (SAR) performed over the last years have been devoted to three main goals: (i) design and synthesis of 5-HT1A-R selective/preferential ligands; (ii) identification of 5-HT1A-R biased agonists, differentiating pre- versus post-synaptic agonism and signaling cellular mechanisms; (iii) development of multitarget compounds endowed with well-defined poly-pharmacological profiles targeting 5-HT1A-R along with other serotonin receptors, serotonin transporter (SERT), D2-like receptors and/or enzymes, such as acetylcholinesterase and phosphodiesterase, as a promising strategy for the management of complex psychiatric and neurodegenerative disorders. In this review, medicinal chemistry aspects of ligands acting as selective/preferential or multitarget 5-HT1A-R agonists and antagonists belonging to different chemotypes and developed in the last 7 years (2017-2023) have been discussed. The development of chemical and pharmacological 5-HT1A-R tools for molecular imaging have also been described. Finally, the pharmacological interest of 5-HT1A-R and the therapeutic potential of ligands targeting this receptor have been considered.

Abstract
The Minisci-type dehydrogenative coupling of N-heteroaromatic rings with inert C-H or Si-H partners via visible-light-catalyzed hydrogen atom transfer has been reported. This methodology allows the coupling reactions to be carried out in water as a solvent under air atmospheric conditions with visible-light illumination. A wide range of inert C-H and Si-H partners could be directly coupled with various N-aromatic heterocycles to deliver products in good to excellent yields.

Abstract
A novel copper-catalyzed cyclization reaction for the synthesis of pyrazolo[1,5-a]quinoline, triazolo[1,5-a]quinoline, and pyrrolo[1,2-a]quinoline derivatives is described. The process is initiated by di-tert-butyl peroxide-mediated C(sp3)-H activation to generate the α-functionalized radical, which supervenes a cascade radical addition/cyclization sequence to access the N-fused quinolines in good yields with broad functional group tolerance.

Abstract
Selenides are important structural motifs with a broad range of biological activities and versatile transformational abilities. In this study, a novel and mild method was developed for the facile synthesis of asymmetric selenides under metal-free conditions. The key features of this reaction include good functional-group tolerance, the use of readily available reagents and cheap, low-toxicity solvent, and amenability to gram-scale synthesis. The results of preliminary radical-trapping experiments and a kinetic isotope effect study support a radical process.

Abstract
![]()
A series
of novel 1,4-dioxane analogues of the muscarinic acetylcholine
receptor (mAChR) antagonist 2 was synthesized and studied
for their affinity at M1–M5 mAChRs. The
6-cyclohexyl-6-phenyl derivative 3b, with a cis configuration between the CH2N+(CH3)3 chain in the 2-position and the cyclohexyl moiety in
the 6-position, showed pKi values for
mAChRs higher than those of 2 and a selectivity profile
analogous to that of the clinically approved drug oxybutynin. The
study of the enantiomers of 3b and the corresponding
tertiary amine 33b revealed that the eutomers are (2S,6S)-(−)-3b and (2S,6S)-(−)-33b, respectively.
Docking simulations on the M3 mAChR-resolved structure
rationalized the experimental observations. The quaternary ammonium
function, which should prevent the crossing of the blood–brain
barrier, and the high M3/M2 selectivity, which
might limit cardiovascular side effects, make 3b a valuable
starting point for the design of novel antagonists potentially useful
in peripheral diseases in which M3 receptors are involved.

Abstract
Although the 2-position-selective decarboxylative coupling or addition of arylpropiolic acids with cyclic ethers has been intensively investigated, selective functionalization of arylpropiolic acids at the 3-position is still a big challenge. Herein, an intriguing and mild method for visible light induced regioselective addition of arylpropiolic acids by attacking exclusively at the 3-position with cyclic/acyclic ethers was developed. A variety of 3,3-bis-substituted acrylic acids were successfully obtained in moderate to excellent yields. A plausible reaction mechanism involving an energy transfer induced radical addition in the presence of visible light and photocatalyst was proposed.

Abstract
The potent N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonists 1-3 have been demonstrated to show antiproliferative and cytotoxic effects in MCF-7 and SKBR3 breast cancer cell lines. To improve the knowledge about the role played by the NMDA receptor in the antitumor activity of these compounds, the enantiomers of 1 were prepared and evaluated for their affinity for the phencyclidine (PCP) site of the NMDA receptor and for their cytotoxic effect in MCF-7 and SKBR3 cell lines, both expressing the NMDA receptor. The (S)-1 enantiomer, showing negligible affinity for the PCP site, exhibited antiproliferative activity higher than that of (R)-1, which instead bound the PCP site. The downregulation of NMDA GluN1 expression resulted in a decreased (S)-1-induced cytotoxicity and apoptotic cell death, unequivocally demonstrating the involvement of the NMDA receptor in the antitumor effect of this compound. Due to its interesting biological profile, (S)-1 represents a lead compound to develop novel antitumor agents for breast cancer treatment.

Abstract
Tetrahydrofuran is a privileged structural moiety in many important organic compounds. In this work, we have developed a simple and mild catalytic oxidative amination of tetrahydrofuran mediated by visible-light catalysis. The C(sp3)-H bond of tetrahydrofuran was activated using molecular oxygen as a benign oxidant. Besides, a variety of azoles could be tolerated, providing a green route for N-substituted azoles.

Abstract
Over the years, the 2-substituted imidazoline nucleus has been demonstrated to be a bioversatile structural motif. In this study, novel imidazoline derivatives bearing a 3- and/or 4-hydroxy- or methoxy-substituted phenyl ring, linked by an ethylene bridge to position 2 of an N-benzyl- or N-phenethyl-substituted imidazoline nucleus, were prepared and studied against D2 -like receptor subtypes. Binding studies highlighted that a set of N-phenethylimidazoline compounds are selective for D4 over D2 and D3 receptors. In functional assays, the 3-methoxy-substituted derivative, endowed with the highest D4 affinity value, and its 3-hydroxy analogue behaved as partial agonists with low intrinsic efficacy and as competitive D4 antagonists when tested in the presence of the D2 -like receptor agonist quinpirole. Molecular docking analysis, performed using a homology model of the human D4 receptor developed using the X-ray crystal structure of the antagonist-bound human D3 receptor as a template, was in accordance with the binding results and provided useful information for the design of novel imidazoline D4 receptor ligands based on this new scaffold.

Abstract
Matrix metalloproteinase-13 (MMP-13) is a zinc-dependent protease responsible for the cleavage of type II collagen, the major structural protein of articular cartilage. Degradation of this cartilage matrix leads to the development of osteoarthritis. We previously have described highly potent and selective carboxylic acid containing MMP-13 inhibitors; however, nephrotoxicity in preclinical toxicology species precluded development. The accumulation of compound in the kidneys mediated by human organic anion transporter 3 (hOAT3) was hypothesized as a contributing factor for the finding. Herein we report our efforts to optimize the MMP-13 potency and pharmacokinetic properties of non-carboxylic acid leads resulting in the identification of compound 43a lacking the previously observed preclinical toxicology at comparable exposures.

Abstract
Tolerance to opioid administration represents a serious medical alert in different chronic conditions. This study compares the effects of the imidazoline compounds 1, 2, and 3 on morphine tolerance in an animal model of inflammatory pain in the rat. 1, 2, and 3 have been selected in that, although bearing a common scaffold, preferentially bind to α2-adrenoceptors, imidazoline I2 receptors, or both systems, respectively. Such compounds have been tested in vivo by measuring the paw withdrawal threshold to mechanical pressure after complete Freund's adjuvant injection. To determine the ligand levels in rat plasma, an HPLC-mass spectrometry method has been developed. All the compounds significantly reduced the induction of morphine tolerance, showing different potency and duration of action. Indeed, the selective imidazoline I2 receptor interaction (2) restored the analgesic response by maintaining the same time-dependent profile observed after a single morphine administration. Differently, the selective α2C-adrenoceptor activation (1) or the combination between α2C-adrenoceptor activation and imidazoline I2 receptor engagement (3) promoted a change in the temporal profile of morphine analgesia by maintaining a mild but long lasting analgesic effect. Interestingly, the kinetics of compounds in rat plasma supported the pharmacodynamic data. Therefore, this study highlights that both peculiar biological profile and bioavailability of such ligands complement each other to modulate the reduction of morphine tolerance. Based on these observations, 1-3 can be considered useful leads in the design of new drugs able to turn off the undesired tolerance induced by opioids.

Abstract
Two series of 1,4-dioxanes (4-11 and 12-19) were rationally designed and prepared to interact either with the phencyclidine (PCP) binding site of the N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptor or with σ1 receptors, respectively. The biological profiles of the novel compounds were assessed using radioligand binding assays, and the compounds with the highest affinities were investigated for their functional activity. The results were in line with the available pharmacophore models and highlighted that the 1,4-dioxane scaffold is compatible with potent antagonist activity at NMDA receptor or high affinity for σ1 receptors. The primary amines 6b and 7 bearing a cyclohexyl and a phenyl ring or two phenyl rings in position 6, respectively, were the most potent noncompetitive antagonists at the NMDA receptor with IC50 values similar to those of the dissociative anesthetic (S)-(+)-ketamine. The 5,5-diphenyl substitution associated with a benzylaminomethyl moiety in position 2, as in 18, favored the interaction with σ1 receptors.

Abstract
This paper is the thirty-sixth consecutive installment of the annual review of research concerning the endogenous opioid system. It summarizes papers published during 2013 that studied the behavioral effects of molecular, pharmacological and genetic manipulation of opioid peptides, opioid receptors, opioid agonists and opioid antagonists. The particular topics that continue to be covered include the molecular-biochemical effects and neurochemical localization studies of endogenous opioids and their receptors related to behavior, and the roles of these opioid peptides and receptors in pain and analgesia; stress and social status; tolerance and dependence; learning and memory; eating and drinking; alcohol and drugs of abuse; sexual activity and hormones, pregnancy, development and endocrinology; mental illness and mood; seizures and neurologic disorders; electrical-related activity and neurophysiology; general activity and locomotion; gastrointestinal, renal and hepatic functions; cardiovascular responses; respiration and thermoregulation; and immunological responses.
