We found that prostaglandin (PG) D2, the most abundant PG produced in the central nervous system (CNS), exhibited anxiolytic-like activity at a dose of 10–100 pmol/mouse after intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) administration in the elevated plus-maze test in mice. A DP1 receptor-selective agonist, BW245C, mimicked the anxiolytic-like activity of PGD2, while a DP2 receptor agonist 13,14-dihydro-15-keto-PGD2 was inactive. The anxiolytic-like activity of PGD2 was blocked by a DP1 antagonist, BWA868C, suggesting that PGD2-induced anxiolytic-like activity was mediated by the DP1 receptor. Adenosine A2A or GABAA receptor antagonists, SCH58261 or bicuculline, respectively, also blocked its anxiolytic-like activity. Taken together, centrally administered PGD2 may induce anxiolytic-like activity via the A2A and GABAA receptors, downstream of the DP1 receptor. 相似文献

The present work evaluated the anxiolytic activity of an aqueous extract of Apocynum venetum L. (Apocynaceae) and bioguided its fractionation using the elevated plus maze (EPM) in mice as a model of anxiety. A single treatment of AV extract markedly increased the percentage time spent on the open arms of the EPM in two distinct concentration ranges of 22.5–30 and 100–125 mg/kg p.o., respectively, indicating a putative anxiolytic-like activity. Fractions showing anxiolytic effects in concentrations equal to 30 or 125 mg/kg of whole extract were antagonized using the benzodiazepine antagonist flumazenil (3 mg/kg i.p.) or the 5-HT1A receptor antagonist WAY-100635 (0.5 mg/kg i.p.). All active fractions in a concentration equal to 125 mg/kg were effectively blocked by the benzodiazepine antagonist flumazenil, while the anxiolytic activities of fractions in the lower dose equivalent to 30 mg/kg of whole extract were inhibited by the 5-HT1A receptor antagonist WAY-100635. Through further separation of AV fractions it was possible to isolate and characterize the flavonol kaempferol which showed an anxiolytic-like activity in concentrations from 0.02 to 1.0 mg/kg p.o. The anxiolytic activity of kaempferol was partially antagonized by concomitant administration of flumazenil, but not by WAY-100635. In conclusion, our study clearly demonstrates that AV extract possesses anxiolytic-like activity and that at least one of its flavonoids, kaempferol, can elicit the same kind of neuropharmacological activity. 相似文献

In this study, we found that Met-Arg-Trp (rubimetide), which had been isolated as a hypotensive peptide from a pepsin-pancreatin digest of spinach ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco), has anxiolytic-like activity in the elevated plus-maze test at a dose of 0.1mg/kg (i.p.) or 1.0mg/kg (p.o.) in mice with p<0.01 and p<0.05, respectively. The anxiolytic-like activity of rubimetide (0.1mg/kg, i.p.) was blocked by BW A868C (60microg/kg, i.p.), an antagonist for the DP1 receptor, suggesting the anxiolytic-like activity of rubimetide is mediated by prostaglandin D2 and the DP1 receptor. 相似文献

A series of trisubstituted purinones was synthesized and evaluated as A2A receptor antagonists. The A2A structure–activity relationships at the three substituted positions were studied and selectivity against the A1 receptor was investigated. One antagonist 12o exhibits a Ki of 9 nM in an A2A binding assay, a Kb of 18 nM in an A2A cAMP functional assay, and is 220-fold selective over the A1 receptor. 相似文献

An effective and rapid method for the microwave-assisted preparation of the key intermediate for the total synthesis of tetrahydroprotoberberines (THPBs) including l-stepholidine (l-SPD) was developed. Thirty-one THPB derivatives with diverse substituents on A and D ring were synthesized, and their binding affinity to dopamine D1, D2 and serotonin 5-HT1A and 5-HT2A receptors were determined. Compounds 18k and 18m were identified as partial agonists at the D1 receptor with Ki values of 50 and 6.3 nM, while both compounds act as D2 receptor antagonists (Ki = 305 and 145 nM, respectively) and 5-HT1A receptor full agonists (Ki = 149 and 908 nM, respectively). These two THPBs compounds exerted antipsychotic actions in animal models. Further electrophysiological studies employing single-unit recording in intact animals demonstrated that 18k-excited dopaminergic (DA) neurons are associated with its 5-HT1A receptor agonistic activity. These results suggest that these two compounds targeted to multiple neurotransmitter receptors may present novel lead drugs with new pharmacological profiles for the treatment of schizophrenia. 相似文献

The 5-HT1AR partial agonist PET radiotracer, [11C]CUMI-101, has advantages over an antagonist radiotracer as it binds preferentially to the high affinity state of the receptor and thereby provides more functionally meaningful information. The major drawback of C-11 tracers is the lack of cyclotron facility in many health care centers thereby limiting widespread clinical or research use. We identified the fluoroethyl derivative, 2-(4-(4-(2-(2-fluoroethoxy)phenyl)piperazin-1-yl)butyl)-4-methyl-1,2,4-triazine-3,5(2H,4H)dione (FECUMI-101) (Ki = 0.1 nM; Emax = 77%; EC50 = 0.65 nM) as a partial agonist 5-HT1AR ligand of the parent ligand CUMI-101. FECUMI-101 is radiolabeled with F-18 by O-fluoroethylation of the corresponding desmethyl analogue (1) with [18F]fluoroethyltosylate in DMSO in the presence of 1.6 equiv of K2CO3 in 45 ± 5% yield (EOS). PET shows [18F]FECUMI-101 binds specifically to 5-HT1AR enriched brain regions of baboon. The specificity of [18F]FECUMI-101 binding to 5-HT1AR was confirmed by challenge studies with the known 5-HT1AR ligand WAY100635. These findings indicate that [18F]FECUMI-101 can be a viable agonist ligand for the in vivo quantification of high affinity 5-HT1AR with PET. 相似文献

Novel bicyclic thiazolopyrimidine compounds (15–26) were synthesized to develop adenosine A2A receptor (A2AR) antagonist for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease (PD). The binding affinity of the compounds (15–26) with A2AR was evaluated using radioligand binding assay on isolated membranes from stably transfected HEK293 cells. Selectivity of the compounds towards A2AR was assessed by comparing their binding affinities with A1 receptors (A1R). cAMP concentrations were measured from HEK293 cells treated with compounds (15–26) as compared to NECA (A2AR agonist). The compound (16) possessed strongest A2AR binding affinity (Ki value = 0.0038 nM) and selectivity (737-fold) versus A1R. Decrease in A2AR-coupled release of endogenous cAMP from HEK293 cells treated with compounds (15–26) is evocative of their potential as A2AR antagonist. 相似文献

The goals of this study, were to synthesize N-phenyl-N-(1-(2-(thiophen-2-yl)ethyl)azepane-4-yl)propionamide (1c) and determine its antinociceptive properties. The effect of clonidine on 1c antinociception and the involvement of opioid, α2-adrenergic, and I2 imidazoline receptors in 1c antinociception were studied. Also examined was the effect of an endothelin ETA receptor antagonist on 1c antinociception. Synthesis of 1c was accomplished in two steps using modifications of previously reported methods. Antinociceptive (tail-flick and hot-plate) latencies were measured in male Swiss Webster mice treated with 1c; antagonists + 1c; clonidine + 1c; or antagonists + clonidine + 1c. Mice were pretreated with naloxone (opioid antagonist), yohimbine (α2-adrenoceptor antagonist), idazoxan (α2-adrenoceptor/I2-imidazoline antagonist), BU224 (I2-imidazoline antagonist) or BQ123 (endothelin ETA receptor antagonist) to study the involvement of these receptors. Compound 1c produced a dose-dependent increase in antinociceptive latencies; ED50 values were 0.15 mg/kg and 0.16 mg/kg, respectively, in the tail flick and hot plate tests. Naloxone, but not yohimbine, idazoxan or BU224, blocked 1c antinociception. Neither clonidine nor BQ123 potentiated 1c antinociception. Results demonstrate that 1c is 15-times more potent than morphine. The antinociceptive effect of 1c is mediated through opioid receptors. The α2-adrenergic, I2-imidazoline and endothelin ETA receptors are not involved in 1c antinociception. 相似文献

In a previous work we have shown that exposure to aluminum (Al) chloride (AlCl3) enhanced the neurotoxicity of the amyloid beta25-35 fragment (Abeta25-35) in neuroblastoma cells and affected the expression of Alzheimer's disease (AD)-related genes. Caffein, a compound endowed with beneficial effects against AD, exerts neuroprotection primarily through its antagonist activity on A2A adenosine receptors (A2AR), although it also inhibits A1Rs with similar potency. Still, studies on the specific involvement of these receptors in neuroprotection in a model of combined neurotoxicity (Abeta25-35 + AlCl3) are missing. To address this issue, cultured SH-SY5Y cells exposed to Abeta25-35 + AlCl3 were assessed for cell viability, morphology, intracellular ROS activity and expression of apoptosis-, stress- and AD-related proteins. To define the role of A1R and A2ARs, pretreatment with caffein, specific receptor antagonists (DPCPX or SCH58261) or siRNA-mediated gene knockdown were delivered. Results indicate that AlCl3 treatment exacerbated Abeta25-35 toxicity, increased ROS production, lipid peroxidation, β-secretase-1 (BACE1) and amyloid precursor protein (APP). Interestingly, SCH58261 successfully prevented toxicity associated to Abeta25-35 only, whereas pretreatment with both DPCPX and SCH58261 was required to fully avert Abeta25-35 + AlCl3-induced damage, suggesting that A1Rs might also be critically involved in protection during combined toxicity. The effects of caffein were mimicked by both N-acetyl cysteine, an antioxidant, and desferrioxamine, likely acting through distinct mechanisms. Altogether, our data establish a novel protective function associated with A1R inhibition in the setting of combined Abeta25-35 + AlCl3 neurotoxicity, and expand our current knowledge on the potential beneficial role of caffein to prevent AD progression in subjects environmentally exposed to aluminum. 相似文献

A new series of 7-aminopyrazolo[4,3-d]pyrimidine derivatives (1–31) were synthesized to evaluate some structural modifications at the 2- and 5-positions aimed at shifting affinity towards the human (h) A2A adenosine receptor (AR) or both hA2A and hA1 ARs. The most active compounds were those featured by a 2-furyl or 5-methylfuran-2-yl moiety at position 5, combined with a benzyl or a substituted-benzyl group at position 2. Several of these derivatives (22–31) displayed nanomolar affinity for the hA2A AR (Ki = 3.62–57 nM) and slightly lower for the hA1 ARs, thus showing different degrees (3–22 fold) of hA2A versus hA1 selectivity. In particular, the 2-(2-methoxybenzyl)-5-(5-methylfuran-2-yl) derivative 25 possessed the highest hA2A and hA1 AR affinities (Ki = 3.62 nM and 18 nM, respectively) and behaved as potent antagonist at both these receptors (cAMP assays). Its 2-(2-hydroxybenzyl) analog 26 also showed a high affinity for the hA2A AR (Ki = 5.26 nM) and was 22-fold selective versus the hA1 subtype. Molecular docking investigations performed at the hA2A AR crystal structure and at a homology model of the hA1 AR allowed us to represent the hypothetical binding mode of our derivatives and to rationalize the observed SARs. 相似文献

AimsOur study focuses on the design and synthesis of a new piperazinic derivate, 4-(1-phenyl-1h-Pyrazol-4-Ylmethyl)-Piperazine-1-Carboxylic Acid Ethyl ester (LQFM008), and evaluation of its anxiolytic-like profile in Swiss mice.Main methodsLQFM008 was evaluated in a screening test of the central nervous system including the rota-rod, sodium pentobarbital-induced sleep, open field, elevated plus maze and light–dark box tests.Key findingsLQFM008 induced convulsions at the dose of 1.1 mmol/kg (i.p., s.c. or p.o.). LQFM008 up to 400 μmol/kg had no effect in the rota rod test. In the open field test, LQFM008 increased the number of crossings and the time spent at the central area as well as the sleeping time in sodium pentobarbital-induced sleep. In the elevated plus maze and light–dark box tests, this compound showed an anxiolytic-like activity. This anxiolytic-like activity was antagonized by NAN-190 (5-HT1A antagonist) but not by flumazenil (benzodiazepine antagonist).SignificanceThe compound LQFM008 showed anxiolytic-like activity which may involve serotonergic pathway. 相似文献

Starting from compounds previously identified as α1-adrenoceptor antagonists that were also found to bind to the 5-HT1A receptor, in an attempt to separate the two activities, a new series of 5-HT1A receptor agonists was identified and shown to have high potency and/or high selectivity. Of these, compound 13, which combines high selectivity (5-HT1A/α1 = 151) and good agonist potency (pD2 = 7.82; Emax = 76), was found to be the most interesting. 相似文献

In order to improve metabolic stability, a ring structure with a cystine moiety was introduced into TY027 (Tyr-d-Ala-Gly-Phe-Met-Pro-Leu-Trp-NH-[3′,5′-(CF3)2Bzl]), which is a lead compound of our developing bifunctional peptide possessing opioid agonist and NK1 antagonist activities. TY038 (Tyr-cyclo[d-Cys-Gly-Phe-Met-Pro-d-Cys]-Trp-NH-[3′,5′-(CF3)2Bzl]) was found as a highly selective δ opioid agonist over μ receptor in conventional tissue-based assays, together with an effective NK1 antagonist activity and good metabolic stability with more than 24 h half life in rat plasma. 相似文献

Embryonic stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (ESC-CMs) have applications in understanding cardiac disease pathophysiology, pharmacology, and toxicology. Comprehensive characterization of their basic physiological and pharmacological properties is critical in determining the suitability of ESC-CMs as models of cardiac activity. In this study we use video microscopy and quantitative PCR to investigate the responses of mouse ESC-CMs to adrenoceptor, muscarinic, angiotensin II (Ang II), and endothelin-1 (ET-1) receptor activation. Isoprenaline (10 nM–10 μM) increased beating rate and contraction amplitude in all beating bodies (BBs), whereas carbachol (up to 1 μM) and the If channel blocker ZD-7288 (10 μM) decreased contraction frequency. ET-1 (0.01–100 nM) reduced contraction amplitude in all BBs and increased contraction frequency in 50% of BBs; these effects were blocked by the ETA receptor antagonist BQ123 (250 nM). Ang II (0.01 nM–1 μM) increased both contraction amplitude (all BBs) and frequency (in 50% of BBs), effects blocked, respectively, by losartan (100 nM) and PD123,319 (200 nM). These results indicate the presence of functional ETA and both AT1 and AT2 receptors in murine ESC-CMs, but their expression and or activity appears to be evident only in a limited set of BBs. 相似文献

N-Formyl peptide receptors (FPRs: FPR1, FPR2, and FPR3) are G protein-coupled receptors that play key roles in modulating immune cells. FPRs represent potentially important therapeutic targets for the development of drugs that could enhance endogenous anti-inflammation systems associated with various pathologies, thereby reducing the progression of inflammatory conditions. Previously, we identified 2-arylacetamide pyridazin-3(2H)-ones as FPR1- or FPR2-selective agonists, as well as a large number of FPR1/FPR2-dual agonists and several mixed-agonists for the three FPR isoforms. Here, we report a new series of 2-arylacetamido-4-aniline pyridazin-3(2H)-ones substituted in position 5 as a further development of these FPR agonists. Chemical manipulation presented in this work resulted in mixed FPR agonists 8a, 13a and 27b, which had EC50 values in nanomolar range. In particular, compound 8a showed a preference for FPR1 (EC50 = 45 nM), while 13a and 27b showed a moderate preference for FPR2 (EC50 = 35 and 61 nM, respectively). Thus, these compounds may represent valuable tools for studying FPR activation and signaling. 相似文献

Formyl peptide receptor-like 1 (FPRL1) is an important classical chemoattractant receptor that is expressed in phagocytic cells in the peripheral blood and brain. Recently, various novel agonists have been identified from several origins, such as host-derived molecules. Activation of FPRL1 is closely related to inflammatory responses in the host defense mechanism and neurodegenerative disorders. In the present study we identified several novel peptides by screening hexapeptide libraries that inhibit the binding of one of FPRL1's agonists (Trp-Lys-Tyr-Met-Val-D-Met-CONH(2) (WKYMVm)) to its specific receptor, FPRL1, in RBL-2H3 cells. Among the novel peptides, Trp-Arg-Trp-Trp-Trp-Trp-CONH(2) (WRWWWW (WRW(4))) showed the most potent activity in terms of inhibiting WKYMVm binding to FPRL1. We also found that WRW(4) inhibited the activation of FPRL1 by WKYMVm, resulting in the complete inhibition of the intracellular calcium increase, extracellular signal-regulated kinase activation, and chemotactic migration of cells toward WKYMVm. For the receptor specificity of WRW(4) to the FPR family, we observed that WRW(4) specifically inhibit the increase in intracellular calcium by the FPRL1 agonists MMK-1, amyloid beta42 (Abeta42) peptide, and F peptide, but not by the FPR agonist, fMLF. To investigate the effect of WRW(4) on endogenous FPRL1 ligand-induced cellular responses, we examined its effect on Abeta42 peptide in human neutrophils. Abeta42 peptide-induced superoxide generation and chemotactic migration of neutrophils were inhibited by WRW(4), which also completely inhibited the internalization of Abeta42 peptide in human macrophages. WRW(4) is the first specific FPRL1 antagonist and is expected to be useful in the study of FPRL1 signaling and in the development of drugs against FPRL1-related diseases. 相似文献

Oxytocin (5–100 ng), but not Arg8-vasopressin (100 ng), injected unilaterally into the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BNST) induces penile erection and yawning in a dose-dependent manner in male rats. The minimal effective dose was 20 ng for penile erection and 5 ng for yawning. Oxytocin responses were abolished not only by the oxytocin receptor antagonist d(CH2)5Tyr(Me)2-Orn8-vasotocin (1 μg), but also by (+) MK-801 (1 μg), an excitatory amino acid receptor antagonist of the N-methyl-d-aspartic acid (NMDA) subtype, SCH 23390 (1 μg), a D1 receptor antagonist, but not haloperidol (1 μg), a D2 receptor antagonist, and SMTC (40 μg), an inhibitor of neuronal nitric oxide synthase, injected into the BNST 15 min before oxytocin. Oxytocin-induced penile erection, but not yawning, was also abolished by CNQX (1 μg), an excitatory amino acid receptor antagonist of the AMPA subtype. In contrast, oxytocin responses were not reduced by bicuculline (20 ng), a GABAA receptor antagonist, phaclofen (5 μg), a GABAB receptor antagonist, CP 376395, a CRF receptor-1 antagonist (5 μg), or astressin 2B, a CRF receptor-2 antagonist (150 ng). Considering the ability of NMDA (100 ng) to induce penile erection and yawning when injected into the BNST and the available evidence showing possible interaction among oxytocin, glutamic acid, and dopamine in the BNST, oxytocin possibly activates glutamatergic neurotransmission in the BNST. This in turn leads to the activation of neural pathways projecting back to the paraventricular nucleus, medial preoptic area, ventral tegmental area, and/or ventral subiculum/amygdala, thereby inducing penile erection and yawning. 相似文献

Movement disorders such as Parkinson’s disease and Huntington’s disease are serious life-limiting and debilitating movement disorders. Their onset typically occurs from mid-life to late in life, and effective diagnostic techniques for detecting and following the disease course are lacking. Our goal is to develop receptor imaging agents for positron emission tomography (PET) that selectively target the most relevant subtype of adenosine receptors (AR) that are highly expressed in the striatum, that is, the A2A AR. To further this goal, we have synthesized and characterized pharmacologically a family of high affinity A2A AR ligands, based on the known antagonist, SCH 442416 (R = –Me), which have structural variability on the terminus (R = –Et, –i-Pr, –allyl, and others). A O-fluoroethyl analogue suitable for use as a PET tracer had a Ki value of 12.4 nM and was highly selective for the A2A AR in comparison to the A1 and A3 ARs. 相似文献

Synthesis, radioligand binding and molecular modeling studies of several 9-aminomethyl-9,10-dihydroanthracene (AMDA) analogs were carried out to determine the extent of the steric tolerance associated with expansion of the tricyclic ring system and amine substitution at 5-HT2A and H1 receptors. A mixture of (7,12-dihydrotetraphene-12-yl)methanamine and (6,11-dihydrotetracene-11-yl)methanamine in a 75–25% ratio was found to have an apparent Ki of 10 nM at the 5-HT2A receptor. A substantial binding affinity for (7,12-dihydrotetraphene-3-methoxy-12-yl)methanamine at the 5-HT2A receptor (Ki = 21 nM) was also observed. Interestingly, this compound was found to have 100-fold selectivity for 5-HT2A over the H1 receptor (Ki = 2500 nM). N-Phenylalkyl-AMDA derivatives, in which the length of the alkyl chain varied from methylene to n-butylene, were found to have only weak affinity for both 5-HT2A and H1 receptors (Ki = 223 to 964 nM). Our results show that large rigid annulated AMDA analogs can be sterically accommodated within the proposed 5-HT2A binding site. 相似文献
