Quipazine, also known as 1-(2-quinolinyl)piperazine, is a serotonergic drug of the aryl piperazine family and an analogue of 1-(2-pyridinyl)piperazine which is used in scientific research. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] It was first described in the 1960s and was originally intended as an antidepressant but was never developed or marketed for medical use. [1] [6] [4]

Quipazine is a serotonin 5-HT3 receptor agonist and to a lesser extent a serotonin 5-HT2A receptor agonist, ligand of the serotonin 5-HT2B and 5-HT2C receptors, and serotonin reuptake inhibitor. [1] [2] [7] [8] Activation of the serotonin 5-HT3 is implicated in inducing nausea and vomiting as well as anxiety, which has limited the potential clinical usefulness of quipazine. [1] [2] [3]

Quipazine produces a head-twitch response and other psychedelic-consistent effects in animal studies including in mice, rats, and monkeys. [1] [3] [9] [10] [11] These effects appear to be mediated by activation of the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor, as they are blocked by serotonin 5-HT2A receptor antagonists like ketanserin. [1] [3] [11] The head twitches induced by quipazine are potentiated by the monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) pargyline. [11] [12] Based on this, it has been suggested that quipazine may act as a serotonin releasing agent and that it may induce the head twitch response by a dual action of serotonin 5-HT2A receptor agonism and induction of serotonin release. [11] [12]

Quipazine did not produce psychedelic effects in humans up to a dose of 25 mg, which was the highest dose tested due to serotonin 5-HT3 receptor-mediated side effects of nausea and gastrointestinal discomfort. [13] [3] Alexander Shulgin has anecdotally claimed that a fully effective psychedelic dose could be reached by blocking serotonin 5-HT3 receptors using the serotonin 5-HT3 receptor antagonist ondansetron. [3] [14]

Quipazine can produce tachycardia, including positive chronotropic and positive inotropic effects, through activation of the serotonin 5-HT3 receptor. [2]

Although quipazine does not generalize to dextroamphetamine in drug discrimination tests of dextroamphetamine-trained rodents, dextroamphetamine and cathinone have been found to partially generalize to quipazine in assays of quipazine-trained rodents. [15] [16] In relation to this, it has been suggested that quipazine might possess some dopaminergic activity, as the discriminative stimulus properties of amphetamine appear to be mediated by dopamine signaling. [15] [16] Relatedly, quipazine has been said to act as a dopamine receptor agonist in addition to serotonin receptor agonist. [11] Conversely however, the generalization may be due to serotonergic activities of amphetamine and cathinone. [17] Fenfluramine has been found to fully generalize to quipazine, but levofenfluramine, in contrast to quipazine, did not generalize to dextroamphetamine. [15] [10]

Chemistry

Quipazine is a substituted piperazine and quinoline. [4] It is structurally related to 6-nitroquipazine and 1-(1-naphthyl)piperazine. [4]

Synthesis

It is synthesized by reacting 2-chloroquinoline with piperazine.
