AI Technical Summary
Existing medications for treating major depressive disorder and neuropsychiatric disorders, such as ketamine, pose risks of abuse and dissociative effects, necessitating an alternative treatment without side effects. Furthermore, the hallucinogenic potential of traditional psychedelic compounds such as DMT limits their clinical application.
A series of N-substituted indoles and other heterocyclic compounds were developed that promote neuronal growth through activation of AMPA receptor, tropomyosin receptor kinase B (TrkB), and target of rapamycin (mTOR) mechanisms, and provide non-psychotropic plastinated agents by reducing hallucinogenicity through structural optimization.
These compounds can effectively increase neuronal plasticity, treat major depressive disorder and neuropsychiatric disorders, and have antidepressant, anti-anxiety and anti-addiction effects. They also produce a sustained therapeutic effect after a single dose and avoid hallucinogenic side effects.

Abstract
Description
[0001] This application is a divisional application of the invention patent application filed on February 26, 2020, with application number 2020800174967 and entitled "N-substituted indole and other heterocyclic compounds for treating brain diseases".
[0002] Cross-reference to related applications This patent application is based on priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 62 / 811,206, filed February 27, 2019, and U.S. Provisional Application No. 62 / 958,220, filed January 7, 2020, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference for all purposes. Background of the Invention Ketamine, N,N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT), and other plasticizers have potential for neurotherapeutic effects due to their ability to promote neuronal growth.
[0003] This article discloses several key characteristics of pharmacophores that act as plasticizers. It also discloses iso-DMT plasticizers that are easier to synthesize, have better physicochemical properties, and lower hallucinogenic potential compared to their DMT counterparts.
[0004] Major depressive disorder and related neuropsychiatric disorders are among the leading causes of disability worldwide. Recently, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved ketamine, a dissociative anesthetic, for the treatment of treatment-resistant depression, making it the first mechanically unique drug to be introduced into psychiatry in nearly 30 years. In some cases, ketamine can correct harmful changes in neuronal structure associated with depression. These structural changes include, for example, the loss of dendritic spines and synapses in the prefrontal cortex (PFC), and a reduction in dendritic tree complexity. However, ketamine is an imperfect drug; for example, there is a possibility of abuse, and its dissociative effects require hospitalization during treatment. Clinically, there is a need for a treatment method without these side effects.
[0005] Compounds known as plastids promote neuronal growth through mechanisms that activate AMPA receptors, tropomyosin receptor kinase B (TrkB), and the target of rapamycin (mTOR). Besides ketamine, tropane alkaloids such as scopolamine and GLYX-13 (rapastine) have shown plastidating properties, and these compounds hold promise for treating a variety of neuropsychiatric disorders. Because pyramidal neurons in the PFC exhibit top-down control over brain regions that regulate motivation, fear, and reward, these results offer an explanation for the psychedelic effects of compounds with clinical antidepressant, anti-anxiety, and anti-addictive properties.
[0006] The pharmacophore commonly found in psychedelic compounds appears to be N,N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT,1) Figure 1Because DMT produces antidepressant and anti-anxiety behavioral effects in rodents, and because decoctions containing DMT have demonstrated clinical efficacy in treating antidepressant depression, DMT was used as a starting point for identifying the novel psychoplastic compounds described in this invention.
[0007] Therefore, there is a need for new compounds to treat major depressive disorder and neuropsychiatric disorders. This invention fulfills this and other needs. Summary of the Invention

[0027] I.General This invention provides N-substituted indole and other heterocyclic non-halogenated compounds for the treatment of various brain diseases and other conditions, as well as for increasing neuronal plasticity and increasing at least one of the translation, transcription or secretion of neurotrophic factors.
[0028] Compounds capable of altering neural circuits controlling motivation, anxiety, and drug-seeking behavior have the potential to treat depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and substance use disorder (SUD). Furthermore, these plastylinogenin drugs may produce sustained therapeutic effects because, for example, they have the potential to treat underlying circuit lesions. Psychedelic compounds are unique in this regard; for example, they promote structural and functional neuroplasticity in key circuits, eliciting therapeutic responses in a variety of neuropsychiatric disorders and producing beneficial effects that can last for months after a single dose.
[0029] In some cases, hallucinogenic 5-HT 2A Agonists (such as DMT, LSD, DOI, etc.) are potential drugs for treating neurological disorders, such as neuropsychiatric disorders. (Ly et al., 2018) However, the hallucinogenic and dissociative potentials of these compounds limit their clinical application. 5-HT 2A Antagonist elimination has 5-HT 2A The agonist-active hallucinogenic compounds, such as DMT, LSD, and DOI, have demonstrated the effects of 5-HT on neuronal generation and spinogenesis. 2A The correlation between excitation and promotion of neural plasticity (Ly et al., 2018; Dunlap et al., 2020).
[0030] This article provides non-hallucinogenic serotonin analogues. Furthermore, several iso-DMT compounds exhibit comparable affinity for serotonin receptors compared to their DMT counterparts. In some embodiments, the iso-DMT analogues described herein exhibit improved physicochemical properties due to the loss of hydrogen bond donors, resulting in a reduced total polar surface area and improved central nervous system multiparameter optimization (MPO) values. Figure 1 In some embodiments described herein, non-hallucinogenic compounds are described that exhibit similarities to hallucinogenic 5-HT. 2A Agonist-like therapeutic potential. In some implementations, the non-hallucinogenic compounds described herein offer greater therapeutic benefits than hallucinogenic 5-HT. 2A Agonists have greater potential for treating neurological disorders.

[0132] For powders, the carrier is a finely separated solid mixed with the finely separated active ingredient. In tablets, the active ingredient is mixed with a carrier having the necessary binding properties in an appropriate proportion and compacted into the desired shape and size. Powders and tablets preferably contain 5%-70% or 10%-70% of the compounds of this invention.
[0133] Suitable solid excipients include, but are not limited to, magnesium carbonate; magnesium stearate; talc; pectin; dextrin; starch; astragalus gum; low-melting-point wax; cocoa butter; carbohydrates; sugars including but not limited to lactose, sucrose, mannitol or sorbitol, starch from corn, wheat, rice, potatoes or other plants; cellulose, such as methylcellulose, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose or sodium carboxymethylcellulose; and chewing gum, including gum arabic and astragalus gum; and proteins, including but not limited to gelatin and collagen. If desired, disintegrants or solubilizers, such as croscarmellose, agar, alginic acid or its salts, such as sodium alginate, may be added.
[0134] To prepare the suppositories, a mixture of low-melting-point waxes, such as fatty acid glycerides or cocoa butter, is first melted, and the compound of the present invention is uniformly dispersed therein by stirring. The molten, homogeneous mixture is then poured into a suitably sized mold and allowed to cool and solidify.
[0135] Liquid formulations include solutions, suspensions, and emulsions, such as water or water / propylene glycol solutions. For parenteral injection, liquid formulations can be prepared as solutions in aqueous polyethylene glycol solutions.
[0136] Aqueous solutions suitable for oral administration can be prepared by dissolving the compounds of the present invention in water and adding suitable colorants, flavoring agents, stabilizers and thickeners as needed. Aqueous suspensions suitable for oral administration can be prepared by combining finely crushed active ingredients with viscous materials (such as natural or synthetic gums, resins, methylcellulose, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, sodium alginate, polyvinylpyrrolidone, gum tragacanth, and gum arabic), and dispersing or wetting agents (such as naturally occurring phospholipids (e.g., lecithin), condensation products of alkyl esters and fatty acids (e.g., polyoxyethylene stearate), condensation products of ethylene oxide and long-chain aliphatic alcohols (e.g., heptadecaethyleneoxycetanol), condensation products of ethylene oxide and esters derived from fatty acids and hexitols (e.g., polyoxyethylene sorbitol monooleate), or ethylene oxide and esters derived from fatty acids and hexitol anhydrides (e.g., polyoxyethylene sorbitan monooleate). The aqueous suspension is prepared by dispersing the condensation product of a mono-oleate in water. The aqueous suspension may also contain one or more preservatives, such as ethyl, n-propyl, or p-hydroxybenzoate, one or more colorants, one or more flavoring agents, and one or more sweeteners, such as sucrose or saccharin. The osmotic pressure of the formulation can be adjusted.
[0137] This also includes solid formulations intended to be converted into liquid formulations for oral administration shortly before use. These liquid forms include solutions, suspensions, and emulsions. In addition to the active ingredient, these formulations may also contain colorants, flavoring agents, stabilizers, buffers, artificial and natural sweeteners, dispersants, thickeners, solubilizers, etc.
[0138] Oily suspensions can be formulated by suspending the compounds of the present invention in vegetable oils, such as peanut oil, olive oil, sesame oil, or coconut oil, or mineral oils (such as liquid paraffin), or combinations thereof. The oily suspension may contain a thickener, such as beeswax, hard paraffin, or hexadecyl alcohol. Sweeteners may be added to provide palatable oral formulations, such as glycerin, sorbitol, or sucrose. These formulations may be preserved by adding antioxidants such as ascorbic acid. As an example of an injectable oil carrier, see Minto, J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther. 281:93-102, 1997. The pharmaceutical formulations of the present invention may also be in the form of an oil-in-water emulsion. The oil phase may be the aforementioned vegetable oils or mineral oils, or combinations thereof. Suitable emulsifiers include naturally occurring gums such as gum arabic and tragacanth, naturally occurring phospholipids such as soybean lecithin, fatty acids, and esters or metaesters derived from hexadiol anhydrides such as sorbitan monooleate, and condensation products of these metaesters with ethylene oxide such as polyoxyethylene sorbitan monooleate. The emulsion may also contain sweeteners and flavoring agents, such as formulations found in syrups and elixirs. The formulation may also contain modifiers, preservatives, or colorants.

Res. 12:857-863, 1995); or as microspheres for oral administration (see, for example, Eyles, Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmacology J. Pharm. Pharmacol. 49:669-674, 1997). Both percutaneous and intradermal routes can provide continuous administration for weeks or months.
[0140] In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention can be formulated for parenteral administration, such as intravenous (IV) administration or administration into body cavities or organ cavities.

Additionally, sterile, non-volatile oils are commonly used as solvents or suspension media. For this purpose, any mild fixed oil, including synthetic monoglycerides or diglycerides, may be used. Furthermore, fatty acids such as oleic acid may also be used to prepare injectable formulations. These solutions are sterile and generally free of excess substances. These formulations can be sterilized using conventional, well-known sterilization techniques. The formulations may contain pharmaceutically acceptable excipients required to approximate physiological conditions, such as pH adjusters and buffers, toxicity modifiers, such as sodium acetate, sodium chloride, potassium chloride, calcium chloride, sodium lactate, etc. The concentration of the compositions of the present invention varies widely in these formulations and will be selected primarily based on fluid volume, viscosity, body weight, etc., according to the specific administration modality chosen and the patient's needs. For intravenous injection, the formulation can be a sterile injectable formulation, such as a sterile injectable aqueous or oil-containing suspension. This suspension can be formulated with suitable dispersants or wetting agents and suspending agents used in known techniques. Sterile injectable formulations can also be sterile injectable solutions or suspensions in non-toxic, parenteral diluents or solvents, such as 1,3-butanediol solutions.

Step C General synthesis scheme: General synthesis steps: Step C1: At 0°C, add NaH (60% mineral oil, 1.2 equivalents) to a stirred DMF (10 mL) solution of compound D (1.0 equivalent). Stir the reaction mixture for 20 minutes, then add compound E (1.0 equivalent). Slowly heat the reaction to room temperature, then stir at the same temperature for 16 hours. Monitor the reaction progress using thin-layer chromatography.
[0221] Processing and purification after step C1: The reaction mixture was quenched with ice water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layers were combined and washed with ice water, then with an aqueous NaCl solution. The organic layers were separated, dried with Na₂SO₄, and concentrated to obtain the crude product. The crude product was purified by combi-flash with 10-20% ethyl acetate / n-hexane, then the purer fraction was distilled (by TLC) and dried under reduced pressure to give compound F.
[0222] Step C2: Add triethylamine (2.5 equivalents) to a 10 vol solution of compound F (1 equivalent) in dichloromethane under stirring, and cool the resulting solution to 0°C. Add formyl chloride (1.5 equivalents) to the above solution, heat to room temperature, and stir for 1 to 2 hours. Monitor the reaction progress using thin-layer chromatography.
[0223] Post-treatment in step C2: Quench the reaction mixture with ice water and extract with dichloromethane. Combine the organic layers and wash successively with saturated aqueous bicarbonate solution and water. Separate the organic layers, dry with anhydrous Na₂SO₄, and concentrate the crude product compound G, which can be used directly in the next reaction without purification.
[0224] Step C3: Add compound G (1 eq), DMF (2 vol), and 40% dimethylamine aqueous solution (10 vol) sequentially to a sealed tube, and heat at 65°C for 1-2 days. Monitor the reaction progress using thin-layer chromatography.
[0225] Post-C3 processing and purification: The reaction was quenched with water and extracted with EtOAc. The organic layer was separated and washed successively with water and saturated brine. The organic layer was dried with anhydrous Na2SO4, and the concentrated crude product was purified by combi-flash extraction with 5-10% ethyl acetate / dichloromethane or 5-10% methanol / dichloromethane. Then, the purer fraction was distilled (by TLC) and dried under reduced pressure to obtain the target compound.

[0285] Results and discussion SAR studies were conducted by comparing the effects of DMT(1) with 1-ME-DMT(27) and iso-DMT(2). DMT has the potential to act as a hydrogen bond donor when it binds to the target receptor, while 27 and 2 do not. Therefore, this potential hydrogen bond interaction may not be critical for compounds that induce plasticity, as 27 and 2, despite lacking indole NH bonds, increase dendritic spine complexity to a level comparable to 1 (…). Figure 2 ).
[0286] 5-MEO-DMT (28) and 6-F-DMT (29) were selected as electron-rich and electron-poor DMT analogs, respectively. Compound 28 promotes neuronal generation in the dentate gyrus and alleviates symptoms of depression and anxiety in humans. Compound 29 is not expected to be hallucinogenic because the fluorination of the DMT analog reduces its hallucinogenic potential. The performance of the iso-DMT analogs in Examples 5 and 13 was similar to that of 28 and 29 ( Figure 3 The fact that the two structures are isomorphic indicates that, due to their isomorphic nature, the SAR data related to neuronal growth obtained from the hetero-DMT scaffold derivative can be used analogously for the DMT scaffold derivative.
[0287] Key features of the pharmacophore of psychoactive substances were determined using various iso-DMT analogs. Figure 4 Removing the alkaline amine from iso-DMT to prepare 25 yielded a molecule that does not promote dendrite development. Furthermore, compound 31—an N,N-dimethylamide analog of iso-DMT—does not promote neuronal growth, confirming the hypothesis that basic nitrogen is necessary for promoting plasticity. Figure 4 A and 4B). Expanding the distance between the aromatic ring and the amine by a single carbon atom (26) can only cause N. max A slight decrease in value ( Figure 4 B).
[0288] Modification of aromatic rings is generally well tolerated. Figure 4 C). Converting indole to benzimidazole (22), pyrrole (23), or carbazole (24) has the least effect on the ability of these molecules to promote neuronal growth. Furthermore, substitutions at the 2- and 3-positions of indole (16 and 21, respectively) are well tolerated. In summary, the minimal psychoplasticizer pharmacophore appears to possess a modifiable aromatic ring separated from the basic nitrogen via a short linker.
[0289] Substitution on the benzene ring of both DMTs and iso-DMTs affects their hallucinogenic potential. For example, 5-MEO-DMT (28) was used in rats to replace the psychedelic 2,5-dimethoxy-4-methylamphetamine (DOM) to differentiate DOM from saline, whereas 6-MEO-DMT did not. Similarly, 6-MEO-iso-DMT (5) was used to replace the hallucinogenic training drug, whereas 5-MEO-iso-DMT (Example 5) did not. Therefore, methoxy (electron-donating; Examples 3-6), benzyloxy (electron-donating, but requiring steric hindrance; Examples 8-11), or fluorine group (electron-withdrawing; Examples 12-15) were synthesized respectively. Figure 5 Three series of analogues with substituents were tested. Substitutions at positions 5, 6, and 7 were well tolerated, regardless of the substituent. However, substitution at position 4 prevented the compound from increasing the complexity of the dendritic spines. Even fluorine substituents with small van der Waals radii (H and F = 1.2 and 1.47, respectively) were not tolerated.
[0290] To determine whether DMT and iso-DMT derivatives exhibit differences in psychoplasticity potency, a concentration-response experiment was conducted. Figure 6 The iso-DMT analogues (2 and Example 5) produced similar maximum efficacy and potency to allo-DMT (1 and 28). Furthermore, at low concentrations of 1 nM, they were able to increase dendritic spine complexity. These compounds exhibited efficacy and potency comparable to ketamine, further highlighting their potential as antidepressants. Finally, Compound Example 4 was demonstrated to be a particularly important psychoshaping agent due to its low hallucinogenic potential in drug identification and head twitching response (HTR) tests. Figure 8 ).

Using 5-HT 2A Antagonist pretreatment of cortical cultures to block the ability of 5-MeO-DMT (28) to promote dendritic growth ( Figure 7 Importantly, under these conditions, the psychoplasticity of iso-DMTs was also blocked, indicating that 5-HT... 2AReceptors are involved in its mechanism of action ( Figure 7 ).
[0292] Hallucinogenic potential. The hallucinogenic compound 5-MEO-DMT (28) produces a potent, dose-related HTR, which is greater in female mice. However, the potency of the allotropic compound 6-MeO-isoDMT (Example 5) is significantly lower. Figure 8 According to drug identification data, 6-MEO-DMT (30) did not produce HTR. Finally, the potent plasticity-promoting compounds (Examples 4, 59, and 60) did not produce any HTR. Figure 8 and Figure 9 This indicates that hallucinogenic potential and mental volition can be separated.
[0293] Hallucinogens (such as LSD and 5-MEO-DMT) activate 5HT in arousal mode. 2A Sensor analysis was performed, but its non-hallucinogenic homologs (risolide (LIS) and 6-MEO-DMT) were not included.

[0307] test Dendriticization assay: Historically, phenotypic screening has proven more successful than target-based methods in identifying drugs with novel mechanisms of action. After establishing a simple and robust method for evaluating iso-DMT analogs, the next step was to test its ability to increase dendritic spine complexity using phenotypic analysis in cortical neuron culture. Following treatment, neurons were fixed and visually observed using an antibody against MAP2 (a neuronal somatic cartilage chamber cytoskeletal protein). Sholl analysis was then performed, and the results were compared using the maximum number of crossovers (N...). max () as a quantitative measure of dendritic spine complexity. For statistical comparisons between specific compounds, the original N is compared. max Value. By comparing the N values of the vector (DMSO) and the positive control (ketamine). max The values were set to 0% and 100% respectively to determine the percentage of efficacy.
[0308] Animals. For dendritic development experiments, timed-pregnancy SD mice were purchased from Charles River Laboratories (Wilmington, Massachusetts). For head twitching response experiments, male and female C57BL / 6J mice were obtained from Jackson Laboratory (Sacramento, California). Each group consisted of 4-5 mice (same sex), housed in a temperature- and humidity-controlled room with a 12-hour light / dark cycle. Animals weighed 17-30g during the experiments. All procedures involving rodents were approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) of the University of California, Davis, and adhered to the principles outlined in the National Institutes of Health's Guidelines for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals. The University of California, Davis, and the University of California, San Francisco are accredited by the International Association for the Care of Laboratory Animals (AAALAC).
[0309] Dendriticization-Sholl Analysis. The dendriticization assay was performed according to previously published methods with minor modifications. Neurons were seeded at a density of 15,000 cells / well in 96-well plates (200 μL of medium per well) containing basal glomerulonephrine (Biotech) with 1% penicillin-streptomycin, 10% heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum, and 0.5 mM glutamine. After 24 hours, the medium was refreshed with basal glomerulonephrine containing 1x B27 supplement (Biotech), 1% penicillin-streptomycin, 0.5 mM glutamine, and 12.5 μM glutamate. After 3 days of in vitro culture (DIV3), cells were treated with compounds. Unless otherwise specified, all compounds tested in the dendriticization assay were 10 μM. The DMSO stock solution of these compounds was first diluted 100-fold with basal glomerulonephrine, and then further diluted 10-fold in each well (total dilution = 1:1000; 0.1% DMSO concentration). Treatment was randomized. One hour later, the culture medium was removed and replaced with fresh neural base medium containing 1x B27 supplement, 1% penicillin-streptomycin, 0.5mM glutamine, and 12.5%... M-glutamate. These cells continued to grow for 71 hours. Neurons were then immobilized by removing 80% of the culture medium and replacing it with 4% paraformaldehyde aqueous solution (Alpha Esar) equivalent to 50% of the working volume of each well. The cells were then incubated at room temperature for 20 minutes, after which the fixative was aspirated and each well was washed twice with DPBS. The cells were permeabilized with DPBS containing 0.2% Triton X-100 (Thermo Fisher Scientific) at room temperature for 20 minutes without shaking. The culture plates were blocked with antibody dilution buffer (ADB) containing 2% bovine serum albumin (BSA) at room temperature for 1 hour. Then, the culture plates containing ADB containing chicken anti-MAP2 antibody (1:10,000; EnCor, CPCA-MAP2) were incubated overnight at 4°C with gentle shaking. The next day, the culture plates were washed three times with DPBS and once with 2% ADB / DPBS. Culture plates were incubated for one hour at room temperature in an ADB containing Alexa Fluor 488 (LifeTech) coupled with anti-chicken IgG antibodies and washed five times with DPBS. After the final wash, 100 μL of DPBS was added to each well, and the plates were imaged on an ImageXpress Micro XL high-content screening system (Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, CA) with a 20x objective. Images were analyzed using ImageJ Fiji (version 1.51W). First, images corresponding to each treatment were categorized into separate folders, followed by blinded data analysis. Culture plate controls (positive and negative) were used to ensure proper analysis, while visually determining appropriate values for brightness / contrast and thresholds generally applicable to the remaining random images. Next, brightness / contrast settings were applied, and approximately 1–2 individual pyramidal neurons (i.e., no bipolar neurons) were selected for each image using the rectangular selection tool and saved as separate files. The selected neurons did not extensively overlap with other cells or extend beyond the field of view. Threshold settings were then applied to each image. Use the brush tool to remove artifacts and dendritic protrusions originating from adjacent neurons (cleanup phaseNext), the point tool to select the center of neurons, and save and process the image using the following Sholl analysis batch macro (Table 5): Run ("Sholl Analysis...", "Start=0 End=NaN Radius Step=2#_Sample=1 Integral=Mean Boundary=1#_Initial=4 Inference Fit Linear Polynomial=[Best Fit] Semilog Normalizer=Area Create Background=228 Save") Sholl analysis circle radius = 2 pixels increment = 0.67 m. All images were taken and analyzed by an experimenter unaware of the treatment conditions. The average number of crossovers per neuron at each different radius was used to generate the average Sholll plot for each treatment. N maxThe values were determined solely by identifying the maximum value for each graph. For each treatment, neurons were selected from at least 6 wells on 2 plates (9 sites / well × 3 wells / plate × 2 plates). Each culture plate was prepared using neurons obtained from independently pregnant female mice.
[0310] Table 5. The efficacy of Sholls Ketoseripine blocking test. For the ketoseripine blocking test ( Figure 7 A slightly modified method was used. In DIV3, neurons were first treated with ketoserine (10... M)1h, then with medication (1 M) and Ketoselin (10 Co-incubate with DMSO (final concentration = 0.2%) for 1 hour. After 1 hour, remove the medium and replace it with fresh neural base medium containing 1x B27 supplement, 1% penicillin-streptomycin, 0.5mM glutamine, and 12.5% sodium bicarbonate. M glutamate. Cells continued to grow for 71 hours prior to fixation, staining, and imaging.
[0311] Neuronal neurite growth assay. Cortical neurons (20,000 cells / well) were isolated from rats at 18 days of gestation and cultured in neurobasal medium (+B27). The cultured cells were seeded in 96-well plates (avoiding the outer wells). In DIV4, neurons were treated with either the compound or a control (10 μM) for 1 h, followed by complete washing away of the compound. In DIV7, neurons were analyzed. Each experiment had three replicates. Neuronal neurite growth was measured by analyzing the following parameters: cell body number, total neurite length (pixels), number of roots, segments, limbs, and nodes. Changes in neuronal neurite growth patterns were analyzed using immunocytochemistry against β-III-tubulin. Images were acquired using a Thermo Fisher Scientific CellInsight CX7 and analyzed using its software. Results generated by the device included maximum axon length, number of terminals, number of roots, dendritic branching points, and total axon length. Results compared to the DMSO control showed changes in neuronal folding.
[0312] 5HT 2A Sensor Analysis. The HEK293T(ATCC)5HT2A sensor stable system (Slink1.3s) was derived from HIV-EF1-Slink1.3 lentivirus transduced and propagated from a single colony. The lentivirus was produced using second-generation lentiviral plasmids pHIV-EF1-1.3, pHCMV-G, and pCMV-deltaR8.2.
[0313] To screen 41 compounds, Slight1.3S cells were seeded in 96-well plates at a density of 40,000 cells 24 hours prior to imaging. On the day of imaging, the compounds dissolved in DMSO were diluted from 100 mM stock solution to 1 mM, 100 mM. M and 1 The working concentration of M was 1% DMSO. Before imaging, cells grown in DMEM (Gibco) were washed twice with HBSS (Gibco). After the final wash, 180 μL of HBSS was added to each well in agonist mode or 160 μL of HBSS in antagonist mode. In agonist mode, images were taken before and after adding 20 μL of the compound working solution to the wells containing 180 μL of HBSS. This resulted in a final compound concentration of 100%. M, 10 M and 100 nM, with DMSO concentration of 0.1%. In antagonist mode, images were taken before and after the addition of 20 μL of 900 nM 5-HT, and again after the addition of 20 μL of the compound working solution, resulting in a final 5-HT concentration of 100 nM. Compound concentrations were 100 μM, 10 μM, and 100 nM, with DMSO concentration of 0.1%. Each compound was tested three times (3 wells) at each concentration (100 μM, 10 μM, and 100 nM). In addition, the 100 nM 5-HT and 0.1% DMSO controls were also imaged within each culture plate.
[0314] Imaging was performed using a Leica DMi8 inverted microscope with a 40x objective lens, FITC presets, excitation wavelength of 460 nm, and emission wavelength of 512-542 nm. For each aperture, an adaptive focusing control was used to focus on the 5HT aperture. 2A The sensor automatically focuses on the cell membrane and takes five images of different areas within the pore, with each image processed in a 2x2 bin.
[0315] For data processing, a custom algorithm written in MATLAB was used to segment and analyze the membrane in each image, generating a single raw fluorescence intensity value. For each well, the average of the five raw fluorescence intensity values generated from five images was taken. The formula for calculating the change in fluorescence intensity (dFF) is as follows: dFF = (F sat – F apo ) / F apo In both agonist and antagonist modes, the fluorescence intensity value of HBSS before the addition of the compound is used only as F. apo The fluorescence intensity value after adding the compound was used as the F value. sat value.
[0316] For the agonist mode, the data are activation percentages relative to 5HT, where 0 is the average value from DMSO wells and 100 is the average value from 100 μM 5HT wells. For the antagonist mode, the inactivation value is calculated as follows: Inactivation value = (dFFF(compound + 5HT) – dFF(5HT)) / dFF(5HT) Calcium secondary messenger pathway. Cell lines were expanded from cryopreservation according to standard procedures. 20 μL of cells were seeded into 384-well microplates with black walls, clear bottoms, and poly-D-lysine coating, and incubated at 37°C for an appropriate time prior to assay. Analysis was performed in 1x dye-loading buffer, which was HBSS / 20 mM Hepes containing 1x dye, 1x additive A, and 2.5 mM probenecid. Probenicid was freshly prepared. Cells were dye-loaded prior to assay. Culture medium was aspirated from cells and replaced with 20 μL of dye-loading buffer. Cells were incubated at 37°C for 30–60 minutes.
[0317] To determine the agonist, cells were incubated with the sample to induce the reaction. After loading the dye, the cells were removed from the incubator and 10 µL of HBSS / 20 mM Hepes was added. The buffer contained 3x carriers when performing agonist dose-proportioning to determine the EC80 for subsequent antagonist analysis. Cells were incubated in the dark at room temperature for 30 min to equilibrate the plate temperature. The sample solution was moderately diluted to produce 4x samples in the test buffer. The agonist activity of the compound was measured on a FLIPR Tetra (MDS). Calcium flow was detected for 2 min, and 4x samples containing 10 µL of HBSS / 20 mM Hepes were added to the experiment within 5 s.
[0318] Compound activity was analyzed using the CBIS data analysis suite (Chemical Innovation, CA). For agonist mode assays, the percentage of activity was calculated using the following formula: % Activity = 100% x (mean RFU of test sample - mean RFU of vector control) / (mean MAX RFU of control ligand - mean RFU of vector control).
[0319] Head twitching response test. Mice (9–10 weeks old) were intraperitoneally injected with the compound (5 ml / kg) and placed in empty cages for 20 minutes. The cages were cleaned with 70% ethanol between tests. Two trained observers unaware of the treatment conditions rated the number of head twitches in each video segment (Pearson correlation coefficients for males and females were 0.91 and 0.99, respectively), and the average of these results was taken.
[0320] Forced swimming test (FST). Male C57 / BL6J mice (9-10 weeks old at the time of the experiment) were purchased from Jackson Laboratory. Following an IACUC-approved protocol, 4-5 mice per cage were housed in a UCD ecosphere. After one week of live animal housing, the male experimenter treated each mouse for approximately 1 minute for three consecutive days until the first FST. All experiments were performed by the same male experimenter. During the FST, mice swam for 6 minutes in a transparent plexiglass cylinder 40 cm high, 20 cm in diameter, and with a water level of 30 cm. Fresh water was used for each mouse. After experimenter treatment and habituation, the drug-addicted mice underwent a pre-test swim to more reliably induce a depressive phenotype during the subsequent FST. After the pre-test, immobility values were determined for all mice, and mice were randomly assigned to treatment groups to produce groups with similar mean immobility values for the following two FST cycles. On the second day, animals were intraperitoneally injected with the experimental compound (20 mg / kg), a positive control (ketamine, 3 mg / kg), or a carrier (saline). These animals underwent free floaters (FSTs) 30 minutes after injection and were then returned to their cages. All FSTs were performed between 8:00 AM and 1:00 PM. The experiments were video-recorded and manually scored offline. Immobility time was scored during the last 4 minutes of the 6-minute test; immobility time was defined as passive floating or remaining motionless except for activities necessary to keep the mouse's head above water.
[0321] Statistical Analysis. Treatment was randomized, and data analysis was performed by participants unaware of the treatment conditions. Statistical analysis was performed using GraphPad Prism (version 8.1.2). The specific tests used, F-statistics, degrees of freedom, and main effect p-values are shown in the legend where appropriate. All comparisons were planned prior to each experiment. For the dendriticization experiment, a one-way ANOVA with Dunnett's post-hoc test was considered most appropriate. Ketamine was used as a positive control to ensure the test was performed correctly.
