Structural highlights
FunctionC562_ECOLX Electron-transport protein of unknown function.5HT2A_HUMAN G-protein coupled receptor for 5-hydroxytryptamine (serotonin) (PubMed:1330647, PubMed:18703043, PubMed:19057895). Also functions as a receptor for various drugs and psychoactive substances, including mescaline, psilocybin, 1-(2,5-dimethoxy-4-iodophenyl)-2-aminopropane (DOI) and lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) (PubMed:28129538). Ligand binding causes a conformation change that triggers signaling via guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins) and modulates the activity of down-stream effectors (PubMed:28129538). Beta-arrestin family members inhibit signaling via G proteins and mediate activation of alternative signaling pathways (PubMed:28129538). Signaling activates phospholipase C and a phosphatidylinositol-calcium second messenger system that modulates the activity of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase and promotes the release of Ca(2+) ions from intracellular stores (PubMed:18703043, PubMed:28129538). Affects neural activity, perception, cognition and mood (PubMed:18297054). Plays a role in the regulation of behavior, including responses to anxiogenic situations and psychoactive substances. Plays a role in intestinal smooth muscle contraction, and may play a role in arterial vasoconstriction.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] (Microbial infection) Acts as a receptor for human JC polyomavirus/JCPyV.[8] Publication Abstract from PubMedPsychosis is a distressing symptom commonly occurring in people with dementia. To treat Parkinson's disease psychosis, pimavanserin (1), a 5-HT(2A) receptor inverse agonist having minimal 5-HT(2C) receptor affinity and no dopamine D(2) receptor affinity, was approved in the United States, but not for dementia-related psychosis due to limited efficacy issues. Herein, we report on the identification of a potent and dual 5-HT(2A) and 5-HT(2C) receptor inverse agonist 8 having minimal hERG inhibition, after having demonstrated the involvement of both 5-HT(2A) and 5-HT(2C) receptors to deliver antipsychotic efficacy in an MK-801-induced locomotor model and having conducted 5-HT(2A) and 5-HT(2C) occupancy studies including a surrogate method. The introduction of a spirocyclopropyl group boosting 5-HT(2C) affinity in 1 followed by further optimization to control lipophilicity resulted in balanced dual potency and metabolic stability, and mitigating hERG inhibition led to 8 that showed significant antipsychotic efficacy due to the involvement of both receptors.
