RT Journal Article T1 The extracellular entrance provides selectivity to serotonin 5-HT7 receptor antagonists with antidepressant-like behavior in vivo A1 Medina, Rocio A. A1 Vázquez Villa, María Del Henar A1 Gómez Tamayo, José C. A1 Benhamú Salama, Bellinda A1 Martín-Fontecha Corrales, María Del Mar A1 de la Fuente, Tania A1 Caltabiano, Gianluigi A1 Hedlund, Peter B. A1 Pardo, Leonardo A1 López Rodríguez, María Luz AB The finding that ergotamine binds serotonin receptors in a less conserved extended binding pocket close to the extracellular entrance, in addition to the orthosteric site, allowed us to obtain 5-HT7R antagonist 6 endowed with high affinity (Ki = 0.7 nM) and significant 5-HT1AR selectivity (ratio >1428). Compound 6 exhibits in vivo antidepressant-like effect (1 mg/kg, ip) mediated by the 5-HT7R, which reveals its interest as a putative research tool or pharmaceutical in depression disorders.
