New. flexible (7. 9 11 and 13) and rigid (8 10 12 and 14) imides with a 1-(m-trifluorophenyl)piperazine fragment and a tetrarnethylene or a le,4e-cyclohexylene spacer, respectively, showed very high affinity (K-i = 0.3-34 nM) and agonistic in vivo activity for 5-HT1A receptors. Flexible new compounds and the previously described 5 also bound to 5-HT7 receptors (K-i = 21-134 nM). Selected glutarimide derivatives, that is. the most potent postsynaptic 5-HT1A receptor agonist rigid compound 8 and its flexible analogue 7. as well as the previously described full agonist-rigid compound 6 and the partial agonist-its flexible counterpart 5 exhibited moderate affinity for alpha(1)-adrenoceptors (K-i = 85-268 nM), but were practically devoid of any affinity for dopamine D, sites. Those glutarimides demonstrated anxiolytic- (5 and 7) and antidepressant-like (5, 6 and 8) activity in the four-plate and the swim tests in mice, respectively; at the same time, however, they inhibited the locomotor activity of mice. The antidepressant-like effect of 8 was significantly stronger than that induced by imipramine used as a reference antidepressant. (C) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
