Serotonin Transporter Modulator

Nardoguaianone J, a guaiane-type compound, can be isolated from Nardostachys chinensis roots. Nardoguaianone J can enhance SERT activity.

1-(2-Methoxyphenyl)piperazine hydrochloride is a key agent intermediate of antipsychotics with high affinity to the serotonin receptors and 5-HT, which can be used to synthesize the intestinal worm-repellent agents Piperazine phosphate (HY-B0912C) and Piperazine citrate (HY-17599), as well as Fluphenazine (HY-119980), dihydrochloride, Rifampicin (HY-B0272).

5-HT_1AR agonist 2 (Compound 4f) is a 5-HT_1A receptor agonist (K_i: 10.0 nM). 5-HT_1AR agonist 2 also binds to the SERT, D₂ receptor and 5-HT₆ receptor (K_i: SERT, 2.8 nM; D₂, 23 nM; 5-HT₆, 192 nM). 5-HT_1AR agonist 2 is stabilized in microsomes and induces hypothermia in mice.

Californidine perchlorate is an orally active γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptor and serotonin receptor modulator. Californidine perchlorate enhances GABA-mediated chloride influx and inhibits cytochrome P450 enzymes. Californidine perchlorate is promising for research of anxiety.

9β-Debilon is a sesquiterpenoid compound found in Nardostachys chinensis and may possess SERT regulatory activity. Structurally, 9β-Debilon is a diastereomer of Debilon (HY-125932). 9β-Debilon holds potential for research into neurological disorders.
