The serotonin1A receptor partial agonist, buspirone, also displays antagonist properties at D2 receptors and is metabolized to the alpha2-adrenergic receptor antagonist, 1-(2-pyrimidinyl-piperazine). Herein, we examined mechanisms underlying the influence of buspirone alone, and in association with the serotonin reuptake inhibitor
It has been suggested that in vivo formation of the metabolite 1-(2-pyrimidinyl)-piperazine (1-PP) may be a major drawback in the use of buspirone as an anti-anxiety agent. To test this hypothesis, the effects of buspirone, alone or with proadifen (an

Although numerous animal procedures have been employed in the study of antidepressants (ADs) in anxiety, the results following acute administration remain highly variable. The present study investigated the effect of the SSRI paroxetine (4, 8, and 16 mg/kg, IP) in

Piperazine-based derivatives, including 1-(2-pyridyl)piperazine (2-PP), 1-(2-pyrimidyl)piperazine (2-PMP), 1-(4-pyridyl)piperazine (4-PP), and 1-(1-methyl-4-piperidinyl)piperazine (M-PP), were used for the derivatization of carboxyl groups on peptides with 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC) and 1-hydroxy-7-azabenzotriazole (HOAt) as coupling reagents, and trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) as activator. Taking synthetic

The anxiolytic effects of buspirone, its metabolite, 1-(2-pyrimidyl)piperazine (1-PP) and several alpha 2-adrenoceptor antagonists have been compared in an anticonflict (shock-induced suppression of drinking) paradigm in rats. Idazoxan, WY 26392 and yohimbine had anticonflict effects comparable to those of buspirone
