A series of non-sulfonamide/non-sulfone derived potent 5-HT6 receptor inverse agonists has been disclosed. Representative compound 9 (Ki = 14 nm) displayed selectivity against a set of family members as well as brain permeability 6 h post-oral administration. In addition, the separated enantiomers of compound 9 displayed difference in activity indicating the influence of chirality on potency.

An innovative nanovehicle based on lipid nanocapsules (LNC) was designed to facilitate the passage of a new 5-HT receptor antagonist, namely PUC-10, through the blood-brain barrier. PUC-10 is a new synthetic -arylsulfonylindole that has demonstrated potent 5-HT receptor antagonist activity, but it exhibits poor solubility in water, which indicates limited absorption. The lipid nanocapsules designed had a nanometric size (53 nm), a monomodal distribution (PI<0.

PF-05212377 (SAM760) is a potent and selective 5-HT antagonist, previously under development for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. In vitro, PF-05212377 was determined to be a P-gp/non-BCRP human transporter substrate. Species differences were observed in the in vivo brain penetration of PF-05212377 with a ratio of the unbound concentration in brain/unbound concentration in plasma (C /C ) of 0.

Since the number of people with Alzheimer's disease (AD) continues to rise, new and effective drugs are urgently needed to not only slow down the progression of the disease, but to stop or even prevent its development. Serotonin 5-HT receptor (5-HTR) ligands are still a promising therapeutic target for the treatment of AD. 1,3,5-Triazine derivatives, as novel structures lacking an indole or a sulfone moiety, have proven to be potent ligands for this receptor.

Neurodegeneration leading to Alzheimer's disease results from a complex interplay of a variety of processes including misfolding and aggregation of amyloid beta and tau proteins, neuroinflammation or oxidative stress. Therefore, to address more than one of these, drug discovery programmes focus on the development of multifunctional ligands, preferably with disease-modifying and symptoms-reducing potential. Following this idea, herein we present the design and synthesis of multifunctional ligands and biological evaluation of their 5-HT receptor affinity (radioligand binding assay), cholinesterase inhibitory activity (spectroscopic Ellman's assay), antioxidant activity (ABTS assay) and metal-chelating properties, as well as a preliminary ADMET properties evaluation.

Introduction: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive deterioration in cognition, memory and activities of daily living. Selective blockade of serotonin-6 (5-HT) receptors, which are exclusively localized to the central nervous system, is reported to play an important role in learning and memory. Masupirdine is a potent and selective 5-HT receptor antagonist with pro-cognitive properties in animal models of cognition.
