Abstract
As a subtype of the 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) receptor, 5-HT1A receptors are involved in the pathological process of psychiatric disorders and is an important target for antidepressants. The research groups focus on these area have tried to design novel compounds to alleviate depression by targeting 5-HT1A receptor. The heterocyclic structures is an important scaffold to enhance the antidepressant activity of ligands, including piperazine, piperidine, benzothiazole, and pyrrolidone. The current review highlights the function and significance of nitrogen-based heterocyclics 5-HT1AR represented by piperazine, piperidine, benzothiazole, and pyrrolidone in the development of antidepressant.

Fecal microbiota transplantation repairs intestinal permeability and regulates the expression of 5-HT to influence alcohol-induced depression-like behaviors in C57BL/6J mice. Front Microbiol 2024; 14:1241309. [PMID: 38249454 PMCID: PMC10797076 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2023.1241309] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/16/2023] [Accepted: 12/20/2023] [Indexed: 01/23/2024] Open
Abstract
The epidemic of alcohol abuse affects millions of people worldwide. Relevant evidence supports the notion that the gut microbiota (GM) plays a crucial role in central nervous system (CNS) function, and its composition undergoes changes following alcohol consumption. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of reconstructing the gut microbiota by fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) on alcohol dependence. Here, we established an alcohol dependence model with C57BL/6J mice and proved that FMT treatment improved anxiety-like behavior and alcohol-seeking behavior in alcohol-dependent mice. Additionally, we found that the expression of the intestinal intercellular tight junction structure proteins ZO-1 and occludin was significantly increased after FMT. FMT repaired intestinal permeability in alcohol-dependent mice and decreased the levels of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and proinflammatory factors. Moreover, the serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) content was significantly increased in alcohol-dependent mouse intestinal and brain tissues after receiving the fecal microbiome from healthy mice. 16S rRNA sequencing demonstrated that FMT markedly reshaped the composition of the gut microbiota and elicited changes in the intestinal barrier and 5-HT levels. Collectively, our results revealed that FMT has a palliative effect on alcohol dependence and explored the underlying mechanisms, which provides new strategies for the treatment of alcohol dependence.

Procognitive, Anxiolytic, and Antidepressant-like Properties of Hyperoside and Protocatechuic Acid Corresponding with the Increase in Serum Serotonin Level after Prolonged Treatment in Mice. Pharmaceuticals (Basel) 2023; 16:1691. [PMID: 38139817 PMCID: PMC10747003 DOI: 10.3390/ph16121691] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/20/2023] [Revised: 11/23/2023] [Accepted: 12/01/2023] [Indexed: 12/24/2023] Open
Abstract
Two polyphenols-hyperoside (HYP) and protocatechuic acid (PCA) were reported to exert antidepressant activity in rodents after acute treatment. Our previous study also showed that this activity might have been influenced by the monoaminergic system and the upregulation of the brain-derived neurotropic factor (BDNF) level. A very long-term pharmacological therapy is required for the treatment of a patient with depression. The repetitive use of antidepressants is recognized to impact the brain structures responsible for regulating both emotional and cognitive behaviors. Thus, we investigated the antidepressant, anxiolytic, and procognitive effects of HYP and PCA in mice after acute and prolonged treatment (14 days). Both polyphenols induced an anxiogenic-like effect after acute treatment, whereas an anxiolytic effect occurred after repetitive administration. PCA and HYP showed procognitive effects when they were administered acutely and chronically, but it seems that their influence on long-term memory was stronger than on short-term memory. In addition, the preset study showed that the dose of 7.5 mg/kg of PCA and HYP was effective in counteracting the effects of co-administered scopolamine in the long-term memory impairment model induced by scopolamine. Our experiments revealed the compounds have no affinity for 5-HT1A and 5-HT2A receptors, whereas a significant increase in serum serotonin level after prolonged administration of PCA and HYP at a dose of 3.75 mg/kg was observed. Thus, it supports the involvement of the serotonergic system in the polyphenol mechanisms. These findings led us to hypothesize that the polyphenols isolated from Impatiens glandulifera can hold promise in treating mental disorders with cognitive dysfunction. Consequently, extended studies are necessary to delve into their pharmacological profile.
