Abstract

The affinity of several antidepressant and antipsychotic drugs for 5-HT7 receptor, along with their distribution in CNS, suggested their involvement in the physiopathology of brain disorders. Indeed, some recent studies demonstrated direct involvement of 5-HT7 receptors in depression, anxiety and mood diseases [1-3].

To better characterize the 5-HT7 receptor, a new potent and selective compounds are required. Different research centers (among others our Department) are engaged in modeling, design, synthesis and structure-activity relationships studies of new 5-HT7 ligands.

Here we present a series of 2-(1-arylsulfonylpiperidyn-2-yl)ethyl derivatives with various changes of aromatic substituent in arylsulfonylpiperidine moiety and modifications in terminal amine fragment.

In the competition binding studies of the investigated compounds, both selective 5-HT7 receptor ligands and that with mixed 5-HT2A/5-HT7/D2 pharmacological profile were found. The structure-affinity relationships for all the new derivatives are discussed.
