1-(1-Naphthyl)piperazine·HCl is the hydrochloride salt preparation of 1-(1-Naphthyl)piperazine, a small molecule modulator of the 5-HT (serotonin) receptors with mixed activity. 1-(1-Naphthyl)piperazine demonstrates agonist activity at the 5-HT1A receptor and antagonist activity at the 5-HT2A/2C receptor. Blockade of the peripheral vascular pressor response to 5-HT and attenuation of the stimulus properties of 2,5-dimethoxy-4-methyl-amphetamine, both associated with the 5-HT2 receptor, are correlated to the 5-HT2 antagonism produced by 1-(1-Naphthyl)piperazine. The agonism of 5-HT1A produced by 1-(1-Naphthyl)piperazine is correlated to a reduction in 5-HT turnover and an increase in serum corticosterone. 1-(1-Naphthyl)piperazine·HCl is an inhibitor of SR-2A and an activator of SR-1A.
