Abstract
In the recent years a number of studies have been taken to evaluate the role of 5-HT7 receptors. Of particular interests are the facts that several antidepressant and antipsychotic drugs show high affinity for the 5-HT7 receptors.1 Moreover, the blockade of these receptors potentiates the effect of antidepressants.2 These observations placed 5-HT7 receptors as potential target for the development of antidepressant agents.

Up to date a number of compounds have been found to bind to 5-HT7 receptors. One of the class of ligands are arylsulfonamides connected by the three or four methylene groups spacer with 4-substituted tetrahydropirydine, 1-arylpiperazine or tetrahydroisoquinoline fragments. Because these structural features are common with other G-coupled receptors ligands, mainly 5-HT1A ones, searching for the new 5-HT7 ligands raises the problem of selectivity.

As a part of our ongoing project to identify new compounds with potential antidepressant activity, we designed series of azinesulfonamides containing different tertiary amines.

Herein, we disclose their synthesis and preliminary biological evaluation as 5-HT1A and 5-HT7 receptor ligands. Starting azinesulfonylchlorides were synthesized according to the previously reported method.3
