Abstract
Serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) is one of the most attractive targets for medicinal chemists. Among 5-HTRs, the 5-HT 1A subtype is the best studied and it is generally accepted that it is involved in psychiatric disorders such as anxiety and depression. Several structurally different compounds are known to bind 5-HT 1A R sites. Among these, arylpiperazine derivatives represent one of the most important classes of 5-HT 1A R ligands. This article will review the development of arylpiperazine derivatives acting at 5-HT 1A Rs with an emphasis on structure-affinity relationships of agonists and antagonists, ligand-receptor interactions and pharmacological applications.

Chalcogen-modified nucleic acid analogues
Chalcogen-modified nucleosides, nucleotides and oligonucleotides have been of great interest to scientific research for many years. The replacement of oxygen in the nucleobase, sugar or phosphate backbone by chalcogen atoms (sulfur, selenium, tellurium) gives these biomolecules unique properties resulting from their altered physical and chemical properties. The continuing interest in ...read more
