Novel Benzo[b]thiophene Derivatives as New Potential Antidepressants with Rapid Onset of Action
摘要:
We report benzo[b]thiophene derivatives synthesized according 10 a dual strategy. 8j, 9c, and 9e with affinity values toward 5-HT(7)R and 5-HTT were selected to probe their antidepressant activity in vivo using the forced swimming text (FST). The results slowed significant antidepressant activity after chronic treatment. 9c was effective in reducing the immobility time in FST even after acute treatment. These findings identify these compounds as a new class of antidepressants with a rapid onset of action.

New 1-Aryl-3-Substituted Propanol Derivatives as Antimalarial Agents
This paper describes the synthesis and in vitro antimalarial activity against a P. falciparum 3D7 strain of some new 1-aryl-3-substituted propanol derivatives. Twelve of the tested compounds showed an IC50 lower than 1 μM. These compounds were also tested for cytotoxicity in murine J774 macrophages. The most active compounds were evaluated for in vivo activity against P. berghei in a 4-day suppressive test. Compound 12 inhibited more than 50% of parasite growth at a dose of 50 mg/kg/day. In addition, an FBIT test was performed to measure the ability to inhibit ferriprotoporphyrin biocrystallization. This data indicates that 1-aryl-3-substituted propanol derivatives hold promise as a new therapeutic option for the treatment of malaria.
