Abstract:
Psychotropic properties of CA-7043× and CA-7050×, new fluorinated derivatives of tetrahydrocarbasoles, were examined on outbred CD1 mice and transgenic 5×FAD mice with Alzheimer disease. Both agents exerted cognitive-stimulating and anxiolytic effects in a dose of 5 mg/kg. In the new cage test, they retarded extinction of orientation and exploratory behavior. CA-7043× produced an anxiolytic effect on CD1 mice assessed in the open-field test and exerted cognitive-stimulating action in the new location test. In the same tests, CA-7050× demonstrated the cognitive-stimulating and anxiolytic effects on transgenic 5×FAD mice.

Melatonin congeners like ramelteon (Rozerem) and tasimelteon (Hetlioz) selectively bind to melatonin receptors (MT1 and MT2) and thus mimic the actions of melatonin, a hormone that regulates sleep-wake cycles. Tasimelteon is primarily used for non-24-hour sleep-wake disorder, common in blind patients. They are also used to treat conditions like insomnia...

Aromatic ring substitutions: Substituting the aromatic ring with –OH groups at positions 3 and 4 yields catecholamines (e.g., epinephrine), which have a high affinity for adrenoceptors. Hydrogen bonding between –OH groups and receptors enhances adrenergic activity.
