Procognitive Potential of Neuroprotective Triazine 5-HT₆ Receptor Antagonists Tested on Chronic Activity In Vivo in Rats: Computer-Aided Insight into the Role of Chalcogen-Differences on the Pharmacological Profile.

ABSTRACT: Among serotonin receptors, the 5-HT₆ subtype is an important protein target and its ligands may play a key role in the innovative treatment of cognitive disorders. This study aimed to extend the body of preclinical research on two naphthyl-derived methylpiperazine-1,3,5-triazine analogues with thioether (WA-22) or Se-ether (PPK-32) linkers, the newly described compounds having high affinity and selectivity for 5-HT₆ receptors and drug-like parameters in vitro. Thus, crystallography-supported deeper insight into their chemical properties, the comparison of their neuroprotective and pharmacokinetic profiles, and especially their impact on memory disturbances after chronic administration to rats were investigated. As a result, the chronic administration of
