A novel series of 5-HT(2A) ligands that contain a (phenylpiperazinyl-propyl)arylsulfonamides skeleton was synthesized. Thirty-seven N-(cycloalkylmethyl)-4-methoxy-N-(3-(4-arylpiperazin-1-yl)propyl)-arylsulfonamide and N-(4-(4-arylpiperazin-1-yl)butan-2-yl)-arylsulfonamide compounds were obtained. The binding of these compounds to the 5-HT(2A), 5-HT(2C), and 5-HT(7) receptors was evaluated. Most of the compounds showed IC(50) values of less than 100 nM and exhibited high selectivity for the 5-HT(2A) receptor. Among the synthesized compounds, 16a and 16d showed good affinity at 5-HT(2A) (IC(50)=0.7 nM and 0.5 nM) and good selectivity over 5-HT(2C) (50-100 times) and 5-HT(7) (1500-3000 times).

Renewed interest in the clinical use of psychedelic drugs acknowledges their therapeutic effectiveness. It has also provided a changing frame of reference for older psychedelic drug study data, especially regarding concentrations of N, N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT) reported in rodent brains and recent discoveries in DMT receptor interactions in rat brain neurons and select brain areas. The mode of action of DMT in its newly defined role as a neuroplastogen, its effectiveness in treating neuropsychiatric disorders, and its binding to intracellular sigma-1 and 5HT2a receptors may define these possible roles.

-(1,3-dimethylbutyl)-'-phenyl--phenylenediamine quinone (6-PPDQ), a novel contaminant derived from tire wear, has raised concerns due to its potential neurotoxicity, yet its long-term effects on mammalian neurological health remain poorly understood. This study investigates the neurotoxic and neuroinflammatory impacts of prolonged 6-PPDQ exposure using male C57BL/6 mice. Behavioral assessments revealed significant cognitive deficits, while biochemical analyses demonstrated increased levels of reactive oxygen species, apoptosis, and blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption.

To elucidate the potential roles of presynaptic and postsynaptic serotonergic activity in impulsivity traits, we investigated the relationship between self-reported impulsiveness and serotonin transporter (5-HTT) and 5-HT2A receptors in healthy individuals. In this study, 26 participants completed 3-Tesla magnetic resonance imaging and positron emission tomography with [C]DASB and [C]MDL100907. To quantify 5-HTT and 5-HT2A receptor availability, the binding potential (BP) of [C]DASB and [C]MDL100907 was derived using the simplified reference tissue model with cerebellar gray matter as the reference region.

Colorectal cancer is a prevalent and prominent contributor to global cancer-related fatalities with challenges in drug resistance and metastasis. Recent research highlights the potential relationship between serotonin and cancer. 5-Hydroxytryptamine receptor 2A (HTR2A) mRNA expression in colorectal cancer cells was found to be notably elevated compared to that in normal colon cells.

In the present study, the mechanisms involved in scopolamine-induced memory impairment have been investigated. The molecular events that take place during memory mostly include mechanisms that are seen in the acquisition phase. Results showed that one of the mechanisms of memory destruction caused by scopolamine, in addition to weakening the cholinergic system, is the indirect effect of scopolamine on other neurotransmitter systems, including the glutamatergic system.
