As a subtype of the 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) receptor, 5-HT1A receptors are involved in the pathological process of psychiatric disorders and is an important target for antidepressants. The research groups focus on these area have tried to design novel compounds to alleviate depression by targeting 5-HT1A receptor. The heterocyclic structures is an important scaffold to enhance the antidepressant activity of ligands, including piperazine, piperidine, benzothiazole, and pyrrolidone. The current review highlights the function and significance of nitrogen-based heterocyclics 5-HT1AR represented by piperazine, piperidine, benzothiazole, and pyrrolidone in the development of antidepressant.

Background: Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is a leading known genetic cause of intellectual disability and autism spectrum disorders (ASD)-associated behaviors. A consistent and debilitating phenotype of FXS is auditory hypersensitivity that may lead to delayed language and high anxiety. Consistent with findings in FXS human studies, the mouse model of FXS, the Fmr1 knock out (KO) mouse, shows auditory hypersensitivity and temporal processing deficits.

Ketamine displays efficacious rapid-acting antidepressant (RAAD) activity in the rat chronic mild stress (CMS) model. It rapidly reverses anhedonia (CMS-induced sucrose consumption deficit) and attenuates working memory deficit (novel object recognition: NOR) following both systemic (intraperitoneal, i.p.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Chai Shao Jie Yu Granules (CSJY) is a renowned and time-honored formula employed in clinical practice for the management of various conditions, notably depression. Depression, a prevalent psychiatric disorder, poses challenges with limited effective treatment options. Traditional herbal medicines have garnered increasing attention in the realm of combating depression, being perceived as safer alternatives to pharmacotherapy.

The claustrum is a small but densely interconnected brain structure that is innervated by axons containing serotonin (5-HT), a neuromodulator that has been implicated in control of sleep and in the actions of psychedelic drugs. However, little is known about how 5-HT influences the claustrum. We have combined whole-cell patch-clamp measurements of ionic currents, flash photolysis, and receptor pharmacology to characterize the 5-HT responses of individual claustral projection neurons (PNs) in mouse brain slices.

Serotonin 5-HT receptor agonists are prime candidates for CNS drug discovery due to their involvement physiological and pathological processes relevant to neurology and psychiatry. However, the lack of target specificity of many previously characterized agonists has long been a barrier to pharmacological and therapeutic progress. Some of the obstacles may be overcome through the recent concept of biased agonism, which has attracted considerable attention to the development of novel chemical entities at 5-HT, and particularly 5-HT receptors, by specifically targeting intracellular signalling pathways that may themselves be linked to specific brain regions and therapeutic indications.
