The invention is directed to a method for identifying substances acting as ligands for transfected receptors by using transfected markers to measure receptor / ligand interactions. The present invention also relates to a method of identifying compounds which act as inverse agonists of the 5-HT2A receptor, the method comprising contacting a constitutively active 5-HT2A receptor with at least one test compound and determining any decrease in the amount of basal activity of the receptor so as to identify a test compound which is an inverse agonist of the 5-HT2A receptor. Such inverse agonists may be used in the treatment of schizophrenia and related psychoses.

The present invention provides compounds of the general formula (I)wherein X, n and R1 are as described herein, as well as pharmaceutically acceptable salts and esters thereof, methods for their manufacture, pharmaceutical compositions containing them and their use as medicaments. The active compounds of the present invention are dual modulators of the serotonin 5-HT2a and dopamine D3 receptors, useful in the treatment and / or the prevention of cognitive disorders, drug addiction, depression, anxiety, drug dependence, dementias, memory impairment, psychotic disorders comprising schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorders, bipolar disease, mania, psychotic depression, and psychoses comprising paranoia and delusions.

Methods and pharmaceutical compositions relating to selective antagonists of the 5-HT6 receptor and 5-HT2A receptor useful for the treatment of cognitive disorders are presented.

The present invention relates to compounds of formula (I)wherein R1 and A are as defined in the specification as dual modulators of the serotonin 5-HT2a and dopamine D3 receptors, their manufacture, pharmaceutical compositions containing them and their use as medicaments. Compounds of general formula (I) have high affinity for the dopamine D3 and serotonin (5-Hydroxytryptamine; 5-HT) 5-HT2A receptors and are effective in the treatment of psychotic disorders, as well as other diseases such as depression and anxiety, drug dependence, dementias and memory impairment.

The invention belongs to the field of pharmacy, relates to medicinal use of an indole piperazine derivative, and in particular relates to appetency of the indole piperazine derivative to dopamine D3 receptor and 5-HT1A and 5-HT2A receptors, function characteristics and use in preparation of medicines for nervous system disease; adrenergic beta-2 receptor crystal structure is used as a template for the construction of a dopamine 5-HT1A receptor model; by accuracy verification on the receptor model and molecular dynamics simulation, a flexible receptor conformation can be obtained; active sites of the flexible receptor conformation can be detected; detection results are superimposed and a dynamic receptor effective-mass model is constructed; an existing compound database is screened and the activity is tested; and results show that the screened compound FDFWHF003 and its derivatives have good activity to the dopamine receptor and 5-HT receptors, can be used for preparation of anti-schizophrenia medicines, and especially is suitable for the preparation of medicines for treating schizophrenia caused by dopamine system and 5-HT system functional disorders.

The present invention relates to the use of 5-HT2 receptor antagonists and in particular of 8-alpha-ergolines such as lisuride, terguride and the derivatives thereof as 5-HT2B and 5-HT2A receptor antagonists and antioxidants in preferably higher-dosed and preferably continuous use for the treatment, progression prophylaxis and general prophylaxis of organ fibroses and other pathological organ remodeling caused by mesenchymal proliferation.

A series of N-(1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalen-1-yl)-4-aryl-1-piperazinealkylamides was prepared and their affinity for serotonin 5-HT7, 5-HT1A, and 5-HT2A receptors was measured using in vitro binding assays. In relation to 5-HT7 receptor affinity, receptor binding studies indicated that: (i) the optimal alkyl chain length was five methylenes; (ii) an unsubstituted 1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalenyl nucleus was selected for further substitutions; and (iii) the substitution pattern of the aryl ring linked to the piperazine ring played a significant role. Several compound with high affinity for 5-HT7 receptors were identified. Among them, 4-(2-methoxyphenyl)-N-(1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalen-1-yl)-1-piperazinehexanamide (28), 4-(2-acetylphenyl)-N-(1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalen-1-yl)-1-piperazinehexanamide (34), 4-(2-methylthiophenyl)-N-(1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalen-1-yl)-1-piperazinehexanamide (44), 4-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-N-(1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalen-1-yl)-1-piperazinehexanamide (46), 4-(2-methylphenyl)-N-(1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalen-1-yl)-1-piperazinehexanamide (49) were assayed for the 5-HT7 receptor mediated relaxation of substance P-induced guinea-pig ileum contraction. Compounds 28, 44, and 49 behaved as full agonists, compound 34 as a partial agonist, whereas derivative 46 acted as an antagonist.

This invention provides novel aryl piperazine derivatives represented by Formula (I) having medical utility, in particular as modulators of dopamine and serotonin receptors, preferably the D3, 5HT1A and 5-HT2A receptor subtypes, and in particular useful for the treatment of neuropsychiatric disorders, incl. schizophrenia.
