Description
SEROTONIN RELEASING COMPOUNDS AND USES THEREOFCROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
[0001] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 63 / 507,952, filed on June 13, 2023, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0002] Described herein are compounds, methods of making such compounds, pharmaceutical compositions and medicaments comprising such compounds, and methods of using such compounds for the treatment of conditions, diseases, or disorders that would benefit from promoting neuronal growth, improving neuronal structure, and / or increasing serotonergic tone.BACKGROUND
[0003] Altered synaptic connectivity and plasticity has been observed in the brains of individuals with neurological diseases and disorders. Psychoplastogens promote neuronal growth and improve neuronal architecture through mechanisms involving the activation of AMPA receptors, the tropomyosin receptor kinase B (TrkB), and the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR). Modulators of these biological targets, such as, for example, ketamine, scopolamine, N,N- dimethyltryptamine (DMT), and rapastinel have demonstrated psychoplastogenic properties. For example, ketamine is capable of rectifying deleterious changes in neuronal structure that are associated with neurological diseases and disorders. Such structural alterations include, for example, the loss of dendritic spines and synapses in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) as well as reductions in dendritic arbor complexity. Furthermore, pyramidal neurons in the PFC exhibit top- down control over areas of the brain controlling motivation, fear, and reward. Psychedelic psychoplastogens have demonstrated antidepressant, anxiolytic, and anti -addictive effects of in the clinic. Like ketamine and DMT, 3, 4-methylenedi oxymethamphetamine (MDMA) has been shown to promote fear extinction learning in rodents. MDMA is an empathogen that releases serotonin from synaptic vesicles of neurons. Serotonin is one of the most important neurotransmitters influencing mental health and plays a pivotal role in the etiology of many mental disorders. The 5- Hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) receptors are activated by serotonin, while the 5-HT transporter reuptakes serotonin from the synaptic cleft. Altered receptor and / or serotonin transporter (SERT) function may be associated with mental disorders. Accordingly, pharmacological manipulation of the serotonergic and neuroplastic mechanisms is useful in the treatment of mental health disorders.
[0004] Drugs that bind to SERT and the closely related monoamine transporters for dopamine (DAT) and norepinephrine (NET) can be subdivided into two major classes: (1) non-transportable inhibitors (e.g., 5-HT reuptake inhibitors such as SSRIs or cocaine), which prevent reuptake of extracellular monoamines and (2) transportable substrates or “releasers” that are actively transported by SERT, DAT, and NET and subsequently trigger the release of intracellular monoamines by reversing the normal direction of transporter flux.
[0005] Clinical data support the notion that SERT releasers have therapeutic utility. For example, MDMA has shown efficacy for the treatment of PTSD in clinical study. As demonstrated in preclinical models, the prosocial therapeutic effect of MDMA relies on SERT -mediated release of 5-HT in the nucleus accumbens (NAc), a brain structure that is involved in the regulation of reward and social behavior. MDMA also induces the release of dopamine by DAT, which is not required for prosocial effects, but contributes to the abuse potential of such agents. Therapeutics which preferentially increase 5-HT in a transporter-mediated manner may be able to target an unmet medical need.SUMMARY

[0013] The present disclosure provides non-hallucinogenic compounds useful for the treatment of a variety of neurological diseases and disorders as well as increasing neuronal plasticity. In some embodiments, compounds provided herein are serotonin releasers.
[0014] Psychedelic compounds promote structural and functional neural plasticity in key circuits, elicit therapeutic responses in multiple neuropsychiatric disorders, and produce beneficial neurological effects that can last for months following a single administration. Compounds capable of modifying neural circuits that control motivation, anxiety, and drug-seeking behavior have potential for treating neurological diseases and disorders that are mediated by the loss of synaptic connectivity and / or plasticity. Moreover, such compounds are likely to produce sustained therapeutic effects because, for example, of the potential to treat the underlying pathological changes in circuitry. Additionally, compounds that facilitate the release of 5-HT may help treat psychiatric disorders, for example depression and substance use disorders.
[0015] In some instances, 5-HT2A antagonists abrogate the neuritogenesis and spinogenesis effects of hallucinogenic compounds with 5-HT2A agonist activity, e.g., DMT, LSD, and DOI, demonstrating the correlation of 5-HT2A agonism and the promotion of neural plasticity (Ly et al., 2018; Dunlap et al., 2020). However, the hallucinogenic and dissociative potential of such compounds has limited the use of these compounds in the clinic for neurological diseases, such as, for example, neuropsychiatric diseases. (Ly et al., 2018)
[0016] In addition, non-hallucinogenic analogs of psychedelic compounds, such as, for example, lisuride and sumatriptan, have been examined as treatments for various neurological diseases and disorders, such as, but not limited to, neurodegenerative diseases (e.g., Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease) and headaches (e.g., migraines).Certain Terminology

[0044] The term “acceptable” with respect to a formulation, composition or ingredient, as used herein, means having no persistent detrimental effect on the general health of the subject being treated.
[0045] The term “modulate” as used herein, means to interact with a target either directly or indirectly so as to alter the activity of the target, including, by way of example only, to enhance the activity of the target, to inhibit the activity of the target, to limit the activity of the target, or to extend the activity of the target. In some embodiments, “modulate” means to interact with a target either directly or indirectly so as to decrease or inhibit receptor activity. In some instances, modulation is an increase or decrease in the amount, quality, or effect of a particular activity, function or molecule. By way of illustration and not limitation, agonists, partial agonists, antagonists, and allosteric modulators (e.g., a positive allosteric modulator) of a G protein-coupled receptor (e.g., 5HT2A) are modulators of the receptor.
[0046] The term “modulator” as used herein, refers to a molecule that interacts with a target either directly or indirectly. The interactions include, but are not limited to, the interactions of an agonist, partial agonist, an inverse agonist, antagonist, or combinations thereof. In some embodiments, a modulator is an antagonist. Receptor antagonists are inhibitors of receptor activity. Antagonists mimic ligands that bind to a receptor and prevent receptor activation by a natural ligand. Preventing activation may have many effects. If a natural agonist binding to a receptor leads to an increase in cellular function, an antagonist that binds and blocks this receptor decreases the function of the receptor.
[0047] The term “agonism,” as used herein, generally refers to the activation of a receptor or enzyme by a modulator, or agonist, to produce a biological response.
[0048] The term “agonist,” as used herein, generally refers to a modulator that binds to a receptor or enzyme and activates the receptor to produce a biological response. By way of example only, a “5HT2A agonist” can be used to refer to a compound that exhibits an ECso with respect to 5HT2A activity of no more than about 100 pM. In some embodiments, the term “agonist” includes full agonists or partial agonists. “Full agonist” refers to a modulator that binds to and activates a receptor with the maximum response that an agonist can elicit at the receptor. “Partial agonist” refers to a modulator that binds to and activates a given receptor, but has partial efficacy, that is, less than the maximal response, at the receptor relative to a full agonist.
[0049] The term “positive allosteric modulator,” as used herein, generally refers to a modulator that binds to a site distinct from the orthosteric binding site and enhances or amplifies the effect of an agonist.
[0050] The term “antagonism,” as used herein, generally refers to the inactivation of a receptor or enzyme by a modulator, or antagonist. Antagonism of a receptor, for example, is when a molecule binds to the receptor and blocks function of the receptor.
[0051] The term “antagonist” or “neutral antagonist,” as used herein, generally refers to a modulator that binds to a receptor or enzyme and blocks a biological response. An antagonist may have no activity in the absence of an agonist or inverse agonist but can block the activity of either, causing no change in the biological response.
[0052] The terms "administer," "administering", "administration," and the like, as used herein, refer to the methods that may be used to enable delivery of compounds or compositions to the desired site of biological action. These methods include, but are not limited to oral routes, intraduodenal routes, parenteral injection (including intravenous, subcutaneous, intraperitoneal, intramuscular, intravascular or infusion), topical and rectal administration. Those of skill in the art are familiar with administration techniques that can be employed with the compounds and methods described herein. In some embodiments, the compounds and compositions described herein are administered orally.
[0053] The terms “effective amount” or “therapeutically effective amount,” as used herein, refer to a sufficient amount of an agent or a compound being administered, which will relieve to some extent one or more of the symptoms of the disease or condition being treated. The result includes reduction and / or alleviation of the signs, symptoms, or causes of a disease, or any other desired alteration of a biological system. For example, an “effective amount” for therapeutic uses is the amount of the composition comprising a compound as disclosed herein required to provide aclinically significant decrease in disease symptoms. An appropriate “effective” amount in any individual case is optionally determined using techniques, such as a dose escalation study.
[0054] The terms “enhance” or “enhancing,” as used herein, means to increase or prolong either in potency or duration a desired effect. Thus, in regard to enhancing the effect of therapeutic agents, the term “enhancing” refers to the ability to increase or prolong, either in potency or duration, the effect of other therapeutic agents on a system. An “enhancing-effective amount,” as used herein, refers to an amount adequate to enhance the effect of another therapeutic agent in a desired system.
[0055] The terms “kit” and “article of manufacture” are used as synonyms.
[0056] The term “subject” or “patient” encompasses mammals. Examples of mammals include, but are not limited to, any member of the Mammalian class: humans, non-human primates such as chimpanzees, and other apes and monkey species; farm animals such as cattle, horses, sheep, goats, swine; domestic animals such as rabbits, dogs, and cats; laboratory animals including rodents, such as rats, mice and guinea pigs, and the like. In one aspect, the mammal is a human.
[0057] The terms “treat,” “treating” or “treatment,” as used herein, include alleviating, abating or ameliorating at least one symptom of a disease or condition, preventing additional symptoms, inhibiting the disease or condition, e.g., arresting the development of the disease or condition, relieving the disease or condition, causing regression of the disease or condition, relieving a condition caused by the disease or condition, or stopping the symptoms of the disease or condition either prophylactically and / or therapeutically.
[0058] The term “pharmaceutically acceptable,” as used herein, generally refers a material, such as a carrier or diluent, which does not abrogate the biological activity or properties of the compound, and is relatively nontoxic, i.e., the material is administered to an individual without causing undesirable biological effects or interacting in a deleterious manner with any of the components of the composition in which it is contained.
[0059] The term “pharmaceutically acceptable salt,” as used herein, generally refers to a form of a therapeutically active agent that consists of a cationic form of the therapeutically active agent in combination with a suitable anion, or in alternative embodiments, an anionic form of the therapeutically active agent in combination with a suitable cation. Handbook of Pharmaceutical Salts: Properties, Selection and Use. International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry, Wiley - VCH 2002. S.M. Berge, L.D. Bighley, D.C. Monkhouse, J. Pharm. Sci. 1977, 66, 1-19. P. H. Stahl and C. G. Wermuth, editors, Handbook of Pharmaceutical Salts: Properties, Selection and Use, Weinheim / Ztirich:Wiley-VCH / VHCA, 2002. Pharmaceutical salts typically are more soluble and more rapidly soluble in stomach and intestinal juices than non-ionic species and so are useful in solid dosage forms. Furthermore, because their solubility often is a function of pH, selectivedissolution in one or another part of the digestive tract is possible and this capability can be manipulated as one aspect of delayed and sustained release behaviors. Also, because the saltforming molecule can be in equilibrium with a neutral form, passage through biological membranes can be adjusted.Provided herein are non-hallucinogenic compounds that promote neuronal growth and / or improve neuronal structure.
[0060] The term “significant” or “significantly” as used herein regarding 5-HT2A agonism refers to a compound capable of providing 5-HT2A receptor agonism with an EC50 of less than 10 pM.
[0061] In some embodiments, compounds provided herein possess comparable affinity for serotonin receptors (e.g., 5HT2A) as compared to their hallucinogenic counterparts. In some embodiments, the compounds provided herein have improved physiochemical properties as a result of the loss of a hydrogen bond donor, decreasing total polar surface area and improving central nervous system multiparameter optimization (MPO) scores. Described herein in some embodiments are non-hallucinogenic compounds that demonstrate similar therapeutic potential as hallucinogenic 5-HT2A agonists. In some embodiments, the non-hallucinogenic compounds described herein provide better therapeutic potential than hallucinogenic 5-HT2A agonists for neurological diseases.Neurological Disorders
[0062] Neuronal plasticity, and changes thereof, have been attributed to many neurological diseases and disorders. For example, during development and in adulthood, changes in dendritic spine number and morphology (e.g., lengths, crossings, density) accompany synapse formation, maintenance and elimination; these changes are thought to establish and remodel connectivity within neuronal circuits. Furthermore, dendritic spine structural plasticity is coordinated with synaptic function and plasticity. For example, spine enlargement is coordinated with long-term potentiation in neuronal circuits, whereas long-term depression is associated with spine shrinkage.
[0063] In addition, dendritic spines undergo experience-dependent morphological changes in live animals, and even subtle changes in dendritic spines can affect synaptic function, synaptic plasticity, and patterns of connectivity in neuronal circuits. For example, disease-specific disruptions in dendritic spine shape, size, and / or number accompany neurological diseases and disorders, such as, for example, neurodegenerative (e.g., Alzheimer’s disease or Parkinson’s disease) and neuropsychiatric (e.g., depression or schizophrenia) diseases and disorders, suggesting that dendritic spines may serve as a common substrate in diseases that involve deficits in information processing.
[0064] In some instances, disruption in the level of CNS 5-HT levels is associated with the pathogenesis of neurological diseases and disorders. For example, reduced serotonergic tone is a risk factor in many neurological diseases or disorders.

[0074] 5 -HT2A agonism has been correlated with the promotion of neural plasticity (Ly et al., 2018). In some instances, 5-HT2A antagonists abrogate the neuritogenesis and spinogenesis effects of hallucinogenic compounds with 5-HT2A agonist activity, e.g., DMT, LSD, and DOI. Furthermore, DMT and other psychedelic compounds promote increased dendritic arbor complexity, dendritic spine density, and synaptogenesis through a 5-HT2A-dependent process. In some instances, pretreating cortical cultures with a 5-HT2A antagonist blocked the ability of 5- MeO-DMT to increase dendritic growth.
[0075] Furthermore, in some instances, non-hallucinogenic compounds (e.g., lisuride and 6- MeO-DMT) compete off 5-HT when an 5HT2A sensor assay is run in antagonist mode. Additionally, compounds, such as, for example, 6-F-DET, Ketanserin, BOL148, which are non- hallucinogenic in animals (e.g., humans), can compete with 5HT binding to 5HT2A in an antagonist mode sensor assay.

[0143] In some embodiments, compounds described herein are prepared as prodrugs. In some instances, a prodrug is an agent that is converted into the parent drug in vivo. Prodrugs are often useful because, in some situations, they are easier to administer than the parent drug. They are, for instance, bioavailable by oral administration whereas the parent is not. Further or alternatively, the prodrug also has improved solubility in pharmaceutical compositions over the parent drug. In some embodiments, the design of a prodrug increases the effective water solubility. An example, without limitation, of a prodrug is a compound described herein, which is administered as an ester (the “prodrug”) but then is metabolically hydrolyzed to provide the active entity. A further example of a prodrug is a short peptide (polyaminoacid) bonded to an acid group where the peptide is metabolized to reveal the active moiety. In certain embodiments, upon in vivo administration, a prodrug is chemically converted to the biologically, pharmaceutically or therapeutically active form of the compound. In certain embodiments, a prodrug is enzymatically metabolized by one or more steps or processes to the biologically, pharmaceutically or therapeutically active form of the compound.
[0144] Prodrugs of the compounds described herein include, but are not limited to, esters, ethers, carbonates, thiocarbonates, N-acyl derivatives, N-acyloxyalkyl derivatives, N-alkyloxyacyl derivatives, quaternary derivatives of tertiary amines, N-Mannich bases, Schiff bases, amino acid conjugates, phosphate esters, and sulfonate esters. See for example Design of Prodrugs, Bundgaard, A. Ed., Elseview, 1985 and Method in Enzymology, Widder, K. et al., Ed.; Academic, 1985, vol. 42, p. 309-396; Bundgaard, H. “Design and Application of Prodrugs” in A Textbook of Drug Design and Development, Krosgaard-Larsen and H. Bundgaard, Ed., 1991, Chapter 5, p. 113-191; and Bundgaard, H., Advanced Drug Delivery Review, 1992, 8, 1-38, each of which is incorporatedherein by reference. In some embodiments, a hydroxyl group in the compounds disclosed herein is used to form a prodrug, wherein the hydroxyl group is incorporated into an acyloxyalkyl ester, alkoxycarbonyloxyalkyl ester, alkyl ester, aryl ester, phosphate ester, sugar ester, ether, and the like. In some embodiments, a hydroxyl group in the compounds disclosed herein is a prodrug wherein the hydroxyl is then metabolized in vivo to provide a carboxylic acid group. In some embodiments, a carboxyl group is used to provide an ester or amide (i.e. the prodrug), which is then metabolized in vivo to provide a carboxylic acid group. In some embodiments, compounds described herein are prepared as alkyl ester prodrugs.

[0146] In some embodiments, any one of the hydroxyl group(s), amino group(s) and / or carboxylic acid group(s) are functionalized in a suitable manner to provide a prodrug moiety. In some embodiments, the prodrug moiety is as described above.
[0147] In additional or further embodiments, the compounds described herein are metabolized upon administration to an organism in need to produce a metabolite that is then used to produce a desired effect, including a desired therapeutic effect.
[0148] In some instances, a metabolite of a compound disclosed herein is a derivative of that compound that is formed when the compound is metabolized. In some instances, an active metabolite of a compound provided herein is a biologically active derivative of the compound provided herein that is formed when the compound is metabolized. In some instances, metabolism is the sum of the processes (including, but not limited to, hydrolysis reactions and reactions catalyzed by enzymes) by which a particular substance is changed by an organism. In some instances, enzymes may produce specific structural alterations to a compound. For example, cytochrome P450 catalyzes a variety of oxidative and reductive reactions while uridine diphosphate glucuronyltransferases catalyze the transfer of an activated glucuronic-acid molecule to aromatic alcohols, aliphatic alcohols, carboxylic acids, amines and free sulfhydryl groups. In some instances, a metabolite of a compound disclosed herein is optionally identified either by administration of compounds to a host and analysis of tissue samples from the host, or by incubation of compounds with hepatic cells in vitro and analysis of the resulting compounds.Synthesis of Compounds

[0256] Hallucinogenic compound 5-MeO-DMT produces a robust, dose-dependent head-twitch response (HTR) in mice. However, the isosteric compound 6-MeO-DMT is significantly less potent. As expected based on drug-discrimination data, 6-MeO-DMT does not produce a HTR. Finally, potent plasticity -promoting compounds do not produce a HTR, demonstrating that hallucinogenic potential and psychoplastogenicity can be decoupled.
[0257] Hallucinogens (e.g., LSD and 5-MeO-DMT) can activate a 5HT2A sensor assay in agonist mode, but their non-hallucinogenic congeners (lisuride (LIS) and 6-MeO-DMT) may not. Moreover, compounds, such as, for example, 5-MeO-DMT, LSD, DMT, DOI, which are hallucinogenic in animals (e.g., humans), activate the 5HT2A sensor assay in agonist mode, whereas compounds, such as, for example, 6-MeO-DMT, LIS, 6-F-DET, L-MDMA, R-MDMA, Ketanserin, BOL148, which are non-hallucinogenic in animals (e.g., humans), do not activate the 5HT2A sensor assay in agonist mode. In some embodiments, hallucinogenic potential of a compound provided herein is determined in vitro. In some embodiments, hallucinogenic potential of a compound provided herein is determined using a 5HT2A sensor assay. In some embodiments, the 5HT2A sensor assay is in an agonist mode or an antagonist mode. In some embodiments, the 5HT2A sensor assay is in an agonist mode.

[0258] In some embodiments, the hallucinogenic potential of the compound provided herein are assessed in a 5HT2A sensor assay in an agonist mode.
[0259] Furthermore, in some instances, non-hallucinogenic compounds (e.g., lisuride and 6- MeO-DMT) compete off 5-HT when the 5HT2A sensor assay is run in antagonist mode. Additionally, compounds, such as, for example, 6-F-DET, Ketanserin, BOL148, which are non- hallucinogenic in animals (e.g., humans), can compete with 5HT binding to 5HT2A in the antagonist mode sensor assay. In some embodiments, a compound provided herein prevents binding of 5-HT to 5HT2A. In some embodiments, the 5HT2A sensor assay is in an antagonist mode.

In some embodiments, a compound provided herein that inhibits the response of the sensor assay in antagonist mode has non-hallucinogenic potential. In some embodiments, a compound provided herein that inhibits the response of the sensor assay in antagonist mode is a non-hallucinogenic compound.

In some embodiments, the results for the antagonist mode sensor assay suggests a compound provided herein is a non- hallucinogenic ligand of the 5-HT2A receptor. In some embodiments, the results for the agonist mode and antagonist mode sensor assay together suggest a compound provided herein is a non- hallucinogenic ligand of the 5-HT2A receptor.
[0261] In some embodiments, the hallucinogenic potential of the compounds are assessed in a 5HT2A sensor assay in an antagonist mode.Example B-2: Forced Swim Test (FST).
[0262] As increased cortical structural plasticity in the anterior parts of the brain mediates the sustained (>24 h) antidepressant-like effects of ketamine and play a role in the therapeutic effects of 5-HT2A agonists, the impact of compounds on forced swim test (FST) behavior is used evaluate therapeutic potential of compounds provided herein. First, a pretest is used to induce a depressive phenotype. Compounds are administered 24 h after the pre-test, and the FST is performed 24 h and 7 d post drug administration.
[0263] Male Sprague Dawley rats from Envigo (Indianapolis, IN) are obtained and housed 3 rats per cage following an IACUC approved protocol. All experiments are carried out at ambient temperatures (20 and 23°C) under artificial lighting during the light-on part of the light / dark cycle in a Forced Swim chamber constructed of clear acrylic (height = 40 cm; diameter = 20.3 cm). Only one rat is placed in the swim chamber at a time for each swim test. The water is changed and the chamber cleaned between each animal. All rats are exposed to two swim sessions. The water depth is 16 cm in the first swim session and 30 cm in the second swim session, and the water temperature is maintained at 23±1 °C for all swim sessions. During the FST, animals undergo a 15 min swim session (pre-swim), lasting for 15 minutes, dried with paper towels, and returned to the home cage. Rats are injected with either saline, ketamine (positive control), or test compound after thehabituation session, returned to home cage, and then tested in a second FST lasting 5 minutes ~24 hours (second swim test) later. The second swim test is video recorded for scoring. Body weights are measured on both days. Scoring of the second swim test is performed by trained technicians using a time sampling technique in which the animal in the video recorded test is viewed every 5 seconds and the behavior seen is noted. The measures noted are immobility, climbing, and swimming behaviors.Example B-3: Neurite outgrowth assay.
[0264] Changes in the pattern of neurite outgrowth have been implicated in neurodegenerative disorders as well as traumatic injuries. The discovery of compounds that can positively affect neuritogenesis are important for developing new therapeutics for neurological diseases.

[0266] Phenotypic screening has historically proven more successful than target-based approaches for identifying drugs with novel mechanisms of action. Using a phenotypic assay, the compounds provided herein are tested for their ability to increase dendritic arbor complexity in cultures of cortical neurons. Following treatment, neurons are fixed and visualized using an antibody against MAP2 — a cytoskeletal protein localized to the somatodendritic compartment of neurons. Sholl analysis is then performed, and the maximum number of crossings (Nmax) is used as a quantitative metric of dendritic arbor complexity. For statistical comparisons between specific compounds, the raw Nmax values are compared. Percent efficacies are determined by setting the Nmax values for the vehicle (DMSO) and positive (ketamine) controls equal to 0% and 100%, respectively.
[0267] Animals. For the dendritogenesis experiments, timed pregnant Sprague Dawley rats are obtained from Charles River Laboratories (Wilmington, MA). In some instances, male and femaleC57BL / 6J mice are obtained from Jackson Laboratory (Sacramento, C. A.). In some instances, mice are housed in a temperature and humidity-controlled room maintained on a 12-h light / dark cycle in groups of 4-5 (same sex).Example B-5: Dendritogenesis - Sholl Analysis.
[0268] Neurons are plated in 96-well format (200 pL of media per well) at a density of approximately 15,000 cells / well in Neurobasal (Life Technologies) containing 1% penicillinstreptomycin, 10% heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum, and 0.5 mM glutamine. After 24 h, the medium is replaced with Neurobasal containing lx B27 supplement (Life Technologies), 1% penicillin-streptomycin, 0.5 mM glutamine, and 12.5 pM glutamate. After 3 days in vitro (DIV3), the cells are treated with compounds. Compounds tested in the dendritogenesis assays are treated at 10 pM unless noted otherwise. Stock solutions of the compounds in DMSO are first diluted 100- fold in Neurobasal before an additional 10-fold dilution into each well (total dilution = 1 : 1000; 0.1% DMSO concentration). Treatments are randomized. After 1 h, the media is removed and replaced with new Neurobasal media containing lx B27 supplement, 1% penicillin-streptomycin, 0.5 mM glutamine, and 12.5 pM glutamate. The cells grow for an additional 71 h. At that time, neurons are fixed by removing 80% of the media and replacing it with a volume of 4% aqueous paraformaldehyde (Alfa Aesar) equal to 50% of the working volume of the well. Then, the cells are incubated at room temperature for 20 min before the fixative is aspirated and each well washed twice with DPBS. Cells are permeabilized using 0.2% Triton X-100 (ThermoFisher) in DPBS for 20 minutes at room temperature without shaking. Plates are blocked with antibody diluting buffer (ADB) containing 2% bovine serum albumin (BSA) in DPBS for 1 h at room temperature. Then, plates are incubated overnight at 4°C with gentle shaking in ADB containing a chicken anti-MAP2 antibody (1 : 10,000; EnCor, CPCA-MAP2). The next day, plates are washed three times with DPBS and once with 2% ADB in DPBS. Plates are incubated for 1 h at room temperature in ADB containing an anti-chicken IgG secondary antibody conjugated to Alexa Fluor 488 (Life Technologies, 1 : 500) and washed five times with DPBS. After the final wash, 100 pL of DPBS is added per well and imaged on an ImageXpress Micro XL High-Content Screening System (Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, CA) with a 20x objective.
[0269] Images are analyzed using ImageJ Fiji (version 1.51W). First, images corresponding to each treatment are sorted into individual folders that are then blinded for data analysis. Plate controls (both positive and negative) are used to ensure that the assay is working properly as well as to visually determine appropriate numerical values for brightness / contrast and thresholding to be applied universally to the remainder of the randomized images. Next, the brightness / contrastsettings are applied, and approximately 1-2 individual pyramidal-like neurons per image (i.e., no bipolar neurons) are selected using the rectangular selection tool and saved as separate files. Neurons are selected that did not overlap extensively with other cells or extend far beyond the field of view. The threshold settings are then applied to the individual images. The paintbrush tool is used to eliminate artifacts and dendritic processes originating from adjacent neurons (cleanup phaseNext, the point tool is used to select the center of the neuron, and the images are saved and processed using the following Sholl analysis batch macro: run("Sholl Analysis...", "starting=O ending=NaN radius_step=2 #_samples=l integration=Mean enclosing=l #_primary=4 infer fit linear polynomial=[Best fitting degree] most semi-log normalizes Area create background=228 save do");
[0270] Sholl analysis circle radii = 2 pixel increments = 0.67 pm. All images are taken and analyzed by an experimenter blinded to treatment conditions. The number of crossings for each neuron at each distinct radius is averaged to produce an average Sholl plot for each treatment. The Nmax values are simply determined by identifying the maximum of each plot. For each treatment, neurons are selected from at least 6 wells spread across 2 plates (9 sites / well x 3 wells / plate x 2 plates). Each plate is prepared using neurons obtained from independent pregnant dams).Example B-6: Spinogenesis Experiments.
[0271] Spinogenesis experiments are performed as previously described with the exception that cells are treated on DIV19 and fixed 24 h after treatment on DIV20. (Ly, C. et al., 2018) The images are taken on a Nikon HCA Confocal microscope a with a lOOx / NA 1.45 oil objective. DMSO and ketamine (10 pM) are used as vehicle and positive controls, respectively.Example B-7: Serotonin 5-HT2A In Vitro Radioligand Binding Competition Assay.
[0272] The 5-HT2A radioligand binding competition assay was performed at Epics Therapeutics S.A. (Belgium, FAST-0505B) using conventional methods.

[0285] Changes in the pattern of neurite outgrowth have been implicated in psychiatric and neurodegenerative disorders as well as traumatic injuries. The discovery of new compounds that can positively affect neuritogenesis are important for developing new therapeutics for neurologicaldiseases. Measurement of neurite outgrowth of rat cortical neurons using an automated imagebased assay was used to determine the neuroplastic effects of the compounds of the present disclosure. The neurite outgrowth assay was performed at Cellectricon AB (Sweden) as described below.
[0286] All experimental work was conducted in accordance with European and Swedish animal welfare regulations. Pregnant Wistar Han rats (Janvier Labs, France) were housed and the cortices microsurgically dissected at University of Gothenburg, dept. Experimental Biomedicine by trained Cellectricon staff at gestation day 17 U. The cortical cell culture preparations were performed in the cell laboratory at Cellectricon under sterile conditions.
[0287] Cortices were collected in microtubes with Hibernate E on ice. The tissue was triturated with a sterile glass Pasteur pipette to dissociate the tissue and the supernatant from each tube was transferred and pooled into one tube. To each remaining pellet, fresh Hibernate E was added. The trituration procedure above was repeated to fully dissociate the tissue. After the final trituration, the cell suspension was centrifuged. The supernatant was removed, and the pellet re-suspended by addition of Neurobasal complete medium. The cell suspensions were triturated between each addition to dissociate cell aggregates. The cells were counted using an automated cell counter (Countess II 2.0, Invitrogen).
[0288] Cells were added to wells in Cellaxess Elektra Poly-D-Lysine coated 384-well plates (Cellectricon AB) at a density of 2500 cells / well. Cells were cultured at 37°C, 5% CO2, 95% humidity.
[0289] Test compounds were added after 3 days in vitro (DIV) to the cell cultures in concentration response format. The reference compound DL-2,5-Dimethoxy-4-iodoamphetamine hydrochloride (DOI, #10998.11, Chiron / Lab Sweden) was added in a fixed concentration (10 pM) to each plate.
[0290] At 9 DIV, cell cultures were fixated using 4% PF A. After fixation, plates were blocked with a PBS-based solution consisting of 2% normal goat serum, 0.2% Triton X-100 and stained with primary antibody (anti-P-tubulin III; 1 : 1000) for detecting the axonal network, incubated overnight and thereafter with secondary antibody. In addition, cultures were stained with Hoechst (1 :10 000) for nuclear staining.
[0291] High content data was acquired using a Perkin Elmer Operetta high content imager. Data analysis was carried out using the Perkin Elmer Harmony analysis software. To evaluate total number of cells, nuclei were identified using a predefined nuclear detection step. For quantification of total neurite length, the anti-P-III-tubulin positive neurites were detected with a predefined detection step, with parameters adjusted to aid optimal detection of the neurite network staining.
[0292] For quantification of parameters on a single cell level, neurites were allocated to individual cell bodies. The cell body of an individual neuron was determined as the cytoplasm around the previously selected nucleus in a median smoothed image of the anti-P-III-tubulin staining.
[0293] Compound effect on neurite outgrowth was evaluated based on two parameters: “number of type one nodes” (single cell level) and “total segment length” (population level). Total segment length data was fitted to Hill’s equation and EC50 values were determined for active compounds.

[0299] HEK293T (ATCC) 5HT2A sensor stable line (sLightl.3s) is generated via lentiviral transduction of HIV-EFla-sLightl.3 and propagated from a single colony. Lentivirus is produced using 2ndgeneration lentiviral plasmids pHIV-EFlcr -sLightl.3, pHCMV-G, and pCMV-deltaR8.2.
[0300] For the screening, sLightl.3s cells are plated in 96-well plates at a density of 40000 24- hours prior to imaging. On the day of imaging, compounds solubilized in DMSO are diluted from the lOOmM stock solution to working concentrations of ImM, I OO M and I M with a DMSO concentration of 1%. Immediately prior to imaging, cells growing in DMEM (Gibco) are washed 2x with HBSS (Gibco) and in agonist mode 180 / / L of HBSS or in antagonist mode 160 / / L of HBSS is added to each well after the final wash. For agonist mode, images are taken before and after the addition of the 20 L compound working solution into the wells containing 180 / / L HBSS. This produced final compound concentrations of 100 / / M, I O M and lOOnM with a DMSO concentration of 0.1%. For antagonist mode, images are taken before and after addition of 20 / IL of 900nM 5-HT and again after 20 L of the compound working solutions to produce final concentrations of lOOnM for 5HT and 100 / / M, 10 / / M and lOOnM for the compounds with a DMSO concentration of 0.1%. Compounds are tested in triplicates (3 wells) for each concentration (100 / / M, 10 / / M and lOOnM). Additionally, within each plate, lOOnM 5HT and 0.1% DMSO controls are also imaged.
[0301] Imaging is performed using the Leica DMi8 inverted microscope with a 40x objective using the FITC preset with an excitation of 460nm and emission of 512-542nm. For each well, the cellular membrane where the 5HT2A sensor is targeted is autofocused using the adaptive focus controls and 5 images from different regions within the well are taken with each image processed from a 2x2 binning.
[0302] For data processing, the membranes from each image are segmented and analyzed using a custom algorithm written in MATLAB producing a single raw fluorescence intensity value. For each well the 5 raw fluorescence intensity values generated from the 5 images are averaged and the change in fluorescence intensity (dFF) is calculated as: dFF = (Fsat - Fapo) / Fapo
[0303] For both agonist and antagonist modes, the fluorescence intensity values before compound addition in HBSS only are used as the Fapovalues while the fluorescence intensity values after compound addition are used as the Fsat values.
[0304] For agonist mode, data are as percent activation relative to 5HT, where 0 is the average of the DMSO wells and 100 is the average of the 100 uM 5HT wells. For antagonist mode, the inactivation score is calculated as:Inactivation score = (dFFF(Compound+5HT) - dFF(5HT)) / dFF(5HT)Example B-17: Head twitch response (HTR) experiments.
[0305] C57BL / 6J Mice (9-10 weeks old) are housed following an IACUC approved protocol.The mice are habituated in the test cage for at least 30 min, injected intraperitoneally withcompound (injection volume 5 ml / kg), returned to the empty test cage, and filmed for 20 minutes. Each video is scored for the number of head-twitches by a trained observer blinded to treatment condition.
[0306] Statistical analysis. Treatments are randomized, and data are analyzed by experimenters blinded to treatment conditions. Statistical analyses are performed using GraphPad Prism (version 8.1.2). Comparisons are planned prior to performing each experiment.
