The 5-HT1A receptor subtype is the most thoroughly studied serotonin receptor subtype. We report here the design, synthesis and characterization of two new fluorescent ligands for the 5-HT1A receptor. The new 1-arylpiperazine-based red-emitting fluorescent compound 6 displayed good binding affinity at the 5-HT1A receptor (Ki= 35nM) and was able to label specifically the human 5-HT1A receptor stably expressed in CHO cells visualized using ...
