In search of new dual-acting histamine H₃/sigma-1 receptor ligands, we designed a series of compounds structurally based on highly active in vivo ligands previously studied and described by our team. However, we kept in mind that within the previous series, a pair of closely related compounds, KSK67 and KSK68, differing only in the piperazine/piperidine moiety in the structural core showed a significantly different affinity at sigma-1 receptors (σ₁Rs). Therefore, we first focused on an in-depth analysis of the protonation states of piperazine and piperidine derivatives in the studied compounds. In a series of 16 new ligands, mainly based on the piperidine core, we selected three lead structures (3, 7, and 12) for further biological evaluation. Compound 12 showed a broad spectrum of analgesic activity in both nociceptive and neuropathic pain models based on the novel molecular mechanism.
