Journal ArticleDOI

Selective agonists for serotonin 7 (5-HT7) receptor and their applications in preclinical models: an overview.

TL;DR: The data indicate that 5-HT7 receptor agonists can have neuroprotective effects against N-methyl-d-aspartate-induced toxicity, modulate neuronal plasticity in rats, enhance morphine-induced antinociception and alleviate hyperalgesia consecutive to nerve lesion in neuropathic animals.
Journal ArticleDOI

The therapeutic potential of 5-HT1A receptors: a patent review

TL;DR: The discovery that stimulation of 5- HT1A receptor can promote neurogenesis will likely renew the interest for selective 5-HT1A receptors agonists as therapeutics to replace neural populations damaged by disease or injury.
Journal ArticleDOI

Synthesis, radiolabeling and in vivo evaluation of [11C](R)-1-[4-[2-(4-methoxyphenyl)phenyl]piperazin-1-yl]-3-(2-pyrazinyloxy)-2-propanol, a potential PET radioligand for the 5-HT7 receptor

TL;DR: Pretreatment with the 5-HT7 receptor selective antagonist SB-269970 resulted in limited decrease in the binding of [(11)C](R)-16, suggesting that this radioligand is not optimal for imaging the brain 5-ht7 receptor in vivo but it may serve as a lead compound for the design of novel 5- HT7 receptor PET radiolIGands.
Journal ArticleDOI

Design, synthesis, radiolabeling and in vivo evaluation of potential positron emission tomography (PET) radioligands for brain imaging of the 5-HT7 receptor

TL;DR: The design, synthesis, and pharmacological evaluation of a set of compounds structurally related to the high affinity serotonin 5-HT7 receptor agonist N-(4-cyanophenylmethylmethyl)-4-(2-diphenyl)-1-piperazinehexanamide (6, LP-211) are described.
