(Arylthio)benzoic acids IIa - IIe and VIb - VId were transformed via the acid chlorides to the N,N-dimethylamides which were reduced either with diborane "in situ" or with lithium aluminium hydride to N,N-dimethyl-(arylthio)benzylamines Ia - Ie and Vb - Vd. Leuckart reaction of the aldehydes IX and X with dimethylformamide and formic acid afforded directly the amines Va and Ve. Demethylation of the methoxy compounds Ia and Ve with hydrobromic acid resulted in the phenolic amines If and Vf. The most interesting N,N-dimethyl-4-(phenylthio)benzylamine (Va) hydrochloride showed affinity to cholinergic and 5-HT2 serotonin receptors in the rat brain and some properties considered indicative of antidepressant activity (inhibition of serotonin re-uptake in the brain and potentiation of yohimbine toxicity in mice).

Abstract Psilocybin, a classic hallucinogen, is a chemical produced by more than 100 species of mushrooms worldwide. It has high affinity for several serotonin receptors, including 5-HT1A, 5-HT2A, and 5-HT2C, located in numerous areas of the brain, including the cerebral cortex and thalamus. With legislation introduced in 1992, more work is being done to further understand the implications of psilocybin use in a number of disease states. Certain mental health disease states and symptoms have been studied, including depressed mood, anxiety disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder, alcohol use disorder, and tobacco use disorder. This article provides an in-depth review of the study design and results of psilocybin in each of these conditions and discusses the clinical potential for use.

Piperidine is one of the most common heterocycles, and its derivatives are found in many pharmacological groups, including neurotropic drugs. These compounds are numerous among analgesics, and, in addition to “classical” promedol, fentanyl and its derivatives, the paper presents the results of studying new compounds with analgesic activity and piperidine cycle. Reviews of such piperidine antipsychotics as haloperidol and risperidone have been considered, and new compounds showing antipsychotic activity through their effects on dopamine and serotonin receptors have been elucidated. The data on the influence of methylphenidate on the brain in case of attention deficit/ hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) have been analyzed, which help to understand the disturbances occurring in this disease. Tiagabine has been considered as an antiepileptic agent reducing the number of seizures in resistant forms of partial epilepsy, as well as the activation of microglia and may be effective in neurodegenerative diseases. The last section is devoted to drugs for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), namely donepezil, its modifications, and some new compounds potentially capable of inhibiting AD progression through the inhibition of Aβ42 protein synthesis.
