Selective 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 7 antagonism influences neural activation during visuospatial memory task (ECNP 2023) - "Two medications with 5HT 7 antagonist properties, Vortioxetine and Lurasidone, have been shown to improve symptoms of cognitive impairment in major depressive disorder and schizophrenia respectively [1-2]. Conclusions We found that administration of JNJ-18038683, a selective high affinity functional 5HT 7 receptor antagonist, was associated with significantly increased task-related brain activations in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex during a visuospatial memory task in healthy participants. While there were no differences in task performance, increased brain activations associated with JNJ-18038683 administration could be related to greater engagement of brain regions integral to attention and working memory."

Design and discovery of a high affinity, selective and β-arrestin biased 5-HT Receptor Agonist. (PubMed, Med Chem Res) - "Although 2a showed about 8 times less activity than 5-HT in the Gs pathway, it showed over 31 times higher activity than 5-HT in the β-arrestin pathway. This constitutes a significant β-arrestin pathway preference and shows 2a to be more potent and more efficacious than the recently published β-arrestin biased 3-(4-chlorophenyl)-1,4,5,6,7,8-hexahydropyrazolo[3,4-d]azepine, the N-debenzylated analog of JNJ18038683 (Compound 7)."

[VIRTUAL] 5-HT7 Receptor and Mood Disorders—Depression, Bipolar and Anxiety: A Systematic Review (CINP 2021) - "Depression: SB-269970, N-biphenyl-2-ylmethyl2-methoxyphen ylpiperazinylalkanamides, Lu AA21004, HBK-15, a PZ-1417 and PZ-1150 are used as 5HT-7 receptor antagonists, and reduced mice immobility in animal tests suggesting that they may have antidepressant properties (Hedlund et al., 2005; Wesolowska et al, 2006a, 2006b; Bonaventure et al., 2007; Sarkisyan et al., 2010; Medina et al., 2014; Zhang et al., 2015; Canale et al., 2016; Canale et al., 2014; Guilloux et al., 2013; Pytka et al., 2015)...Bipolar disorder: Researchers at Northwest University (U.S.A.) are testing whether JNJ-18038683 can improve cognition and reduce depressive symptoms in bipolar patients... The 5-HT7 receptor has strong connections with anxiety and depression. Being dosed with 5-HT7 antagonists, rodents demonstrated anxiolytic behaviours in experiments. Regarding depression, when being dosed with 5-HT7 antagonists, animals’ reduction of immobility was detected."

Preliminary evaluation of novel serotonin antagonists as potential antidepressant agents (ACS-Fall 2018) - "...Specifically, the selective 5-HT7 antagonists SB-269970 and JNJ-18038683 have been shown to induce antidepressant-like activity...In addition, SB-269970 demonstrated a significantly faster antidepressant response in olfactory bulbectomized rats when compared to fluoxetine...The binding data, physicochemical properties, and in vitro ADME data for this series of novel 5-HT7 selective ligands will be discussed. The pharmacokinetic data for compound(s) selected to undergo animal models of depression will also be presented."
