AB  - 5HT1A receptor targeting drugs have been used as the treatment for the many neuropsychiatric
disorders, such as schizophrenia and depression. As a part of ongoing research, we designed series of
new compounds that share arylpiperazine common structural motif with the 5HT1A receptor ligand
aripiprazole. Receptor-ligand interactions were determined by the molecular docking simulations,
revealing the positive impact of the phenyl substitution in the arylpiperazine part of the molecules. Nine
selected compounds were synthesized in four reaction steps in high overall yields (59-73%). In vitro
pharmacological evaluation of the synthesized compounds revealed three compounds (5b, 6b and 6c)
with high 5HT1A binding affinity, comparable with aripiprazole (Ki 12.0, 4.8, 12.8, 5.6 nM,
respectively). Compounds from b series, 5b and 6b, possess 2-methoxyphenyl substituents, while 6c
possess 2,3-dichlorophenyl substituent in the arylpiperazine part of the molecule. The pharmacological
results are therefore in accordance with the molecular docking simulations thus proving the rational
design. Compounds 5c, 6b and 6c can be considered as the candidates for further evaluation as new,
potential antidepressants.

AB  - The aim of this study was to develop highly specific radiofluorinated ligands for quantitative positron emission tomography (PET) imaging of monoamine oxidase-B (MAO-B) in brain. A series of 8 fluoro derivatives of 1-cinnamyl-4-arylpiperazine were synthesized by standard methods of organic synthesis. The affinity of the compounds was determined in a competitive binding assay using L-[3H] deprenyl as radioligand on rat brain homogenates. The KD of the radioligand was determined by homologous competition. An efficient, three-step procedure for the synthesis of the potential MAO-B ligands was developed. A competitive binding assay was established, using L-[3H]deprenyl as the radioligand, and rat brain membrane homogenate. The compounds were screened (three concentrations 10-9, 10-7 and 10-5) for their MAO-B affinity. We successfully synthesized a series of fluorinated MAO-B ligands. Unfortunately, their affinities toward MAO-B have proved to be rather low. To increase the affinity further modifications are needed.

AB  - Serotonin 5HT1a receptor belongs to a class of G-protein coupled receptors. It serves as a
potential target for neurological disorders such as depression, anxiety etc. It is a well-known
fact that N-arylpiperazine moiety is present in compounds with pronounced 5HT1a activity.
Taking into account previously published results1 novel structures of N-{4-[2-(4-
arylpiperazin-1-yl)ethyl]phenyl}arylamides (Figure 1.) were designed for target synthesis.
Proposed modifications include: different position of hydroxyl group in aryl amide part of
molecule and addition of methoxy and chloro substituents to the phenyl ring of parent
compounds, since their introduction in the molecule leads to increased receptor affinity.
New compounds were synthesized by acylation of N-arylpiperazines using 4-
nitrophenylacetic acid. Obtained amides were converted in 1-(4-nitrophenethyl)-4-
arylpiperazines using diborane in THF. Reduction of nitro compounds by Ra/Ni provided 1-
(4-aminophenethyl)-4-arylpiperazines. Target arylamides were obtained by condensation 1-
(4-aminophenethyl)-4-arylpiperazines with corresponding aryl acids in presence of
propylphosphoric acid anhydride (PPAA) in DMF.
All newly synthesized compounds were evaluated for their activity toward 5HT1a receptors
by in vitro competitive displacement assay of [3H] 8-OH-DPAT. HEK cell line were used as a
source of 5HT1a receptors.
Introduction of 2-methoxy and 2,3-dichloro groups,as well as meta and para hydroxyl group
in molecule resulted in increment of affinity toward 5HT1a receptors comparing to the parent
compounds.
